+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX(VERSION, [ext|noext], [mandatory|optional])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the specified
+#   version of the C++ standard.  If necessary, add switches to CXX and
+#   CXXCPP to enable support.  VERSION may be '11' (for the C++11 standard)
+#   or '14' (for the C++14 standard).
+#
+#   The second argument, if specified, indicates whether you insist on an
+#   extended mode (e.g. -std=gnu++11) or a strict conformance mode (e.g.
+#   -std=c++11).  If neither is specified, you get whatever works, with
+#   preference for an extended mode.
+#
+#   The third argument, if specified 'mandatory' or if left unspecified,
+#   indicates that baseline support for the specified C++ standard is
+#   required and that the macro should error out if no mode with that
+#   support is found.  If specified 'optional', then configuration proceeds
+#   regardless, after defining HAVE_CXX${VERSION} if and only if a
+#   supporting mode is found.

+#   AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17([ext|noext], [mandatory|optional])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the C++17
+#   standard; if necessary, add switches to CXX and CXXCPP to enable
+#   support.
+#
+#   This macro is a convenience alias for calling the AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX
+#   macro with the version set to C++17.  The two optional arguments are
+#   forwarded literally as the second and third argument respectively.
+#   Please see the documentation for the AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX macro for
+#   more information.  If you want to use this macro, you also need to
+#   download the ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 file.

-%description
-Nix is a purely functional package manager. It allows multiple
-versions of a package to be installed side-by-side, ensures that
-dependency specifications are complete, supports atomic upgrades and
-rollbacks, allows non-root users to install software, and has many
-other features. It is the basis of the NixOS Linux distribution, but
-it can be used equally well under other Unix systems.
