You can supply extra HEADERS to look into. the check will cycle +# through 1 2 4 8 16 and any EXTRA_SIZES the user supplies. If a match is +# found, it will #define SIZEOF_`TYPE' to that value. Otherwise it will +# emit a configure time error indicating the size of the type could not be +# determined. +# +# The trick is that C will not allow duplicate case labels. While this is +# valid C code: +# +# switch (0) case 0: case 1:; +# +# The following is not: +# +# switch (0) case 0: case 0:; +# +# Thus, the AC_TRY_COMPILE will fail if the currently tried size does not +# match. +# +# Here is an example skeleton configure.in script, demonstrating the +# macro's usage: +# +# AC_PROG_CC +# AC_CHECK_HEADERS(stddef.h unistd.h) +# AC_TYPE_SIZE_T +# AC_CHECK_TYPE(ssize_t, int) +# +# headers='#ifdef HAVE_STDDEF_H +# #include <stddef.h> +# #endif +# #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H +# #include <unistd.h> +# #endif +# ' +# +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(char) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(short) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(int) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(long) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(unsigned char *) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(void *) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(size_t, $headers) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(ssize_t, $headers) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(ptrdiff_t, $headers) +# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(off_t, $headers) +# +# LICENSE +# +# Copyright (c) 2008 Kaveh Ghazi <ghazi@caip.rutgers.edu> +# Copyright (c) 2017 Reini Urban <rurban@cpan.org> +# +# This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it +# under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the +# Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your +# option) any later version. +# +# This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but +# WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +# MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
