+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AC_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:
+#
+# 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
