Automake includes some support for Unified Parallel C.
Any package including Unified Parallel C code must define the output
variable UPC in configure.ac; the simplest way to do
this is to use the AM_PROG_UPC macro (see Public Macros).
A few additional variables are defined when a Unified Parallel C source file is seen:
UPC ¶The name of the Unified Parallel C compiler.
UPCFLAGS ¶Any flags to pass to the Unified Parallel C compiler.
AM_UPCFLAGS ¶The maintainer’s variant of UPCFLAGS.
UPCCOMPILE ¶The command used to compile a Unified Parallel C source file. The file name is appended to form the complete command line.
UPCLINK ¶The command used to link a Unified Parallel C program.
