Re: libbanshee also using a broken AC_HEADER_STDBOOL


Although I defer judgement on autoconf/automake matters to you, I am
perplexed why you wish to effectively substitute:

Because ACX_HEADER_STDBOOL formed the basis of the AC_HEADER_STDBOOL Autoconf 2.5x macro. They incorporated a lot more consistency checks, and it seems worth to bring them back.


My macro additionally had a check for sizeof (bool) == 1 to ensure consistency between system.h's replacement bool and a bool declared in stdbool.h (this is for toplevel bootstrap, where you can run configure scripts under different compilers, which may have different sizeof(bool) values: we should ensure that only one is used).
