dnl @synopsis AC_CHECK_TYPEDEF_(TYPEDEF, HEADER [, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND ]]) dnl dnl check if the given typedef-name is recognized as a type. The trick dnl is to use a sizeof(TYPEDEF) and see if the compiler is happy with dnl that. dnl dnl this can be thought of as a mixture of dnl AC_CHECK_TYPE(TYPEDEF,DEFAULT) and dnl AC_CHECK_LIB(LIBRARY,FUNCTION,ACTION-IF-FOUND,ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND) dnl dnl a convenience macro AC_CHECK_TYPEDEF_ is provided that will not dnl emit any message to the user - it just executes one of the actions. dnl dnl @category C dnl @author Guido U.
