AC_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS (TYPE [, CANDIDATE-TYPE]...)
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".
For example, the following ensures that uint64_t is defined as a 64-bit datatype:
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
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:
#include "config.h"
#if HAVE_INTTYPES_H
# include <inttypes.h>
#else
# if HAVE_STDINT_H
# include <stdint.h>
# endif
#endif
