# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(TYPE [, HEADERS [, EXTRA_SIZES...]])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   This macro checks for the size of TYPE using compile checks, not run
#   checks. You can supply extra HEADERS to look into. the check will cycle
#   through 1 2 4 8 16 and any EXTRA_SIZES the user supplies. If a match is
#   found, it will #define SIZEOF_`TYPE' to that value. Otherwise it will
#   emit a configure time error indicating the size of the type could not be
#   determined.
#
#   The trick is that C will not allow duplicate case labels. While this is
#   valid C code:
#
#     switch (0) case 0: case 1:;
#
#   The following is not:
#
#     switch (0) case 0: case 0:;
#
#   Thus, the AC_TRY_COMPILE will fail if the currently tried size does not
#   match.
#
#   Here is an example skeleton configure.in script, demonstrating the
#   macro's usage:
#
#     AC_PROG_CC
#     AC_CHECK_HEADERS(stddef.h unistd.h)
#     AC_TYPE_SIZE_T
#     AC_CHECK_TYPE(ssize_t, int)
