      5 # SYNOPSIS
      6 #
      7 #   AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(TYPE [, HEADERS [, EXTRA_SIZES...]])
      8 #
      9 # DESCRIPTION
     10 #
     11 #   This macro checks for the size of TYPE using compile checks, not run
     12 #   checks. You can supply extra HEADERS to look into. the check will cycle
     13 #   through 1 2 4 8 16 and any EXTRA_SIZES the user supplies. If a match is
     14 #   found, it will #define SIZEOF_`TYPE' to that value. Otherwise it will
     15 #   emit a configure time error indicating the size of the type could not be
     16 #   determined.
     17 #
     18 #   The trick is that C will not allow duplicate case labels. While this is
     19 #   valid C code:
     20 #
     21 #     switch (0) case 0: case 1:;
     22 #
     23 #   The following is not:
     24 #
     25 #     switch (0) case 0: case 0:;
     26 #
     27 #   Thus, the AC_TRY_COMPILE will fail if the currently tried size does not
     28 #   match.
     29 #
     30 #   Here is an example skeleton configure.in script, demonstrating the
     31 #   macro's usage:

     33 #     AC_PROG_CC

     35 #     AC_TYPE_SIZE_T
