  <h2>Synopsis</h2>

  <div class="indent">
    <p style="text-align:left; white-space:nowrap;">
    <code>AC_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS (TYPE [, CANDIDATE-TYPE]...)</code></p>
  </div>

  <h2>Description</h2>

  <div class="indent">
    <p>Given a TYPE of the form "int##_t" or "uint##_t", see if the datatype
    TYPE is predefined. If not, then define TYPE -- both with AC_DEFINE and as
    a shell variable -- to the first datatype of exactly ## bits in a list of
    CANDIDATE-TYPEs. If none of the CANDIDATE-TYPEs contains exactly ## bits,
    then set the TYPE shell variable to "no".</p>

    <p>For example, the following ensures that uint64_t is defined as a 64-bit
    datatype:</p>
    <pre>
    AC_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS(uint64_t, unsigned long long, unsigned __int64, long)
    if test "$uint64_t" = no; then
      AC_MSG_ERROR([unable to continue without a 64-bit datatype])
    fi
</pre>

    <p>You should then put the following in your C code to ensure that all
    datatypes defined by AC_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS are visible to your
    program:</p>
    <pre>
    #include "config.h"
</pre>
    <pre>
    #if HAVE_INTTYPES_H
    # include &lt;inttypes.h&gt;
    #else
    # if HAVE_STDINT_H
    #  include &lt;stdint.h&gt;
    # endif
    #endif
</pre>
  </div>
