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:
32#
33#     AC_PROG_CC
34#     AC_CHECK_HEADERS(stddef.h unistd.h)
35#     AC_TYPE_SIZE_T
36#     AC_CHECK_TYPE(ssize_t, int)
