# When called, the macro does the following things:
# 1. It finds an appropriate C++ compiler
#    If you passed the flag --with-cxx=foo, then it uses that
#    particular compiler
# 2. Checks whether the compiler accepts the -g

# This macro tests the C++ compiler for various portability problem.
# 1. Defines CXX_HAS_NO_BOOL if the compiler does not support the bool

# 2. Defines CXX_HAS_BUGGY_FOR_LOOPS if the compiler has buggy
#    scoping for the for-loop
# 3. Defines USE_ASSERT if the user wants to use assertions
