<h2>
Synopsis
</h2>
<p class="indent" style="white-space:nowrap;">
<code>AC_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(TYPE [, HEADERS [, EXTRA_SIZES...]])</code>
</p>
<h2>
Description
</h2>
<div class="indent">
<p>
This macro checks for the size of TYPE using compile checks, not run
checks. 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.
</p>
<p>
The trick is that C will not allow duplicate case labels. While this is
valid C code:
</p>
<pre>
switch (0) case 0: case 1:;
</pre>
<p>
The following is not:
</p>
<pre>
switch (0) case 0: case 0:;
</pre>
<p>
Thus, the AC_TRY_COMPILE will fail if the currently tried size does not
match.
</p>
<p>
Here is an example skeleton configure.in script, demonstrating the macro's
usage:
</p>
<pre>
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
