Yes, I realize now that my use of _cxx_o had no effect, and it was simply the use of set_ccvars CXX that caused the CXX_ variables to be updated.  I would tend to agree that full CXX probing is probably overkill given that there are only are few C++ files in ffmpeg, and those files have to do with Decklink, which is only supported on a few operating systems as well.

I also realize now that this patch is more general than one that just applies to MSVC, although, in practice, the change will only benefit the Intel compiler, in addition to MSVC.  Hopefully, I won't be asked to separate out the set_ccvars CXX line into a separate patch :-)

Here is hopefully the final version of the patch with updated comments to reflect the more general nature of the patch.

Thanks,
Aaron Levinson

Subject: [PATCH] Made appropriate changes to be able to successfully build C++ files using a Visual C++ build on Windows

Purpose: Made appropriate changes to be able to successfully
build C++ files using a Visual C++ build on Windows.  Note that this is a
continuation of the "fixes w32pthreads to support C++" aspect of Kyle
Schwarz's "Remove pthread dependency" patch that is available at
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/2654/ .  This patch wasn't accepted, and
as far as I can tell, there was no follow-up after it was rejected.

Notes: Used Visual Studio 2015 (with update 3) for this.  Altered
approach for specifying -Fo$@ in configure based on code review from
Hendrik Leppkes for first version of patch.

Comments:

-- compat/w32pthreads.h: Made appropriate changes to w32pthreads.h to
   get it to build when it is being included in a C++ file and built
   with Visual C++.  This is mostly a copy of Kyle Schwarz's patch as
   described above.

-- configure:
a) Now calling set_ccvars CXX to cause the various CXX_ variables to
   be setup properly.  For example, with MSVC (Microsoft Visual C++),
   this causes CXX_O to be set to -Fo$@ instead of using the default
   value.  The default value does not work with Visual C++.  This
   change will also have the impact of correcting CXX_O (and possibly
   CXX_C) for other compilers, although this is really only relevant
   for the Intel compiler, in addition to MSVC.
b) Now using cl for the C++ compiler for the MSVC toolchain.  This is
   currently only relevant for building the
   Blackmagic/Decklink-related files under avdevice.
