Upcoming Autoconf-2.60 will not provide a declaration for exit;
it has turned out that tracking MSVC incompatibilites here is
a lot of work. Instead, returning from main is suggested as a
viable alternative (the systems where that was not portable are
not likely to be used any more).
The following patch does that for the macros in CLN.
Cheers,
Ralf
* m4/longdouble.m4 (CL_LONGDOUBLE): `return', rather than `exit'
from main.
* m4/longlong.m4 (CL_LONGLONG): Likewise.
* m4/times.m4 (CL_TIMES_CLOCK): Likewise.
* m4/general.m4 (CL_CC_WORKS): Likewise, do this for a C test to
work when users set `$CC' to a C++ compiler.
