+# 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.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# 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.
