#
# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS (TYPE [, CANDIDATE-TYPE]...)
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   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:
#
#     AX_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 AX_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
