AC_NEED_STDINT_H [( HEADER-TO-GENERATE [, HEDERS-TO-CHECK])]
1.5 (2003/02/02) 0.5.57 : C_Support
Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de>
obsoleted - superseded by AC_CREATE_STDINT_H
the "ISO C9X: 7.18 Integer types <stdint.h>" section requires the existence of an include file <stdint.h> that defines a set of typedefs, especially uint8_t,int32_t,uintptr_t. Many older installations will not provide this file, but some will have the very same definitions in <inttypes.h>. In other enviroments we can use the inet-types in <sys/types.h> which would define the typedefs int8_t and u_int8_t respectivly.
This macros will create a local "stdint.h" if it cannot find the global <stdint.h> (or it will create the headerfile given as an argument). In many cases that file will just have a singular "#include <inttypes.h>" statement, while in other environments it will provide the set of basic stdint's defined: int8_t,uint8_t,int16_t,uint16_t,int32_t,uint32_t,intptr_t,uintptr_t int_least32_t.. int_fast32_t.. intmax_t which may or may not rely on the definitions of other files, or using the AC_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF macro to determine the actual sizeof each type.
if your header files require the stdint-types you will want to create an
installable file package-stdint.h that all your other installable header
may include. So if you have a library package named "mylib", just use
AC_NEED_STDINT(zziplib-stdint.h)
in configure.in and go to install that very header file in Makefile.am
along with the other headers (mylib.h) - and the mylib-specific headers
can simply use "#include <mylib-stdint.h>" to obtain the stdint-types.
Remember, if the system already had a valid <stdint.h>, the generated file will include it directly. No need for fuzzy HAVE_STDINT_H things...
