And is there a "autoconf-lint" to check for using broken names, like "ac_cv_sizeof_long_long_unsigned_int" instead of whatever is preferred?
I prefer ac_cv_sizeof_long_long_unsigned_int because it is my nature to be pedantic and it sounds bigger. Is that bad?
These same tests can test for any type from a header file. It is pretty difficult to "optimize" them.
If <stdint.h> and <inttypes.h> were available everywhere then much of this gobbly gook could go away. Maybe in another 10 years or so that will be the case.
