# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_DLL_STRING
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Tests for a bug currently in g++ 3.4.4 on Cygwin (maybe other targets
#   with statically linked libstdc++?) where passing an empty std::string to
#   a dll will cause a crash on destruction due to incorrect memory
#   handling. See bug 24196 in gcc's bugzilla for more details:
#   http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24196

dnl Plan: compile conftest-dll.cc, conftest-exe.cc.  It has a 'crash' param
dnl that can be passed.  Verify the compile worked and we can run it normally
dnl ok.  Then, pass 'crash', test if it crashed, fail.
