These macros check for particular system header files---whether they
exist, and in some cases whether they declare certain symbols.

+Check whether @file{stdbool.h} exists and conforms to C99, and cache the
+result in the @code{ac_cv_header_stdbool_h} variable. If the type
+@code{_Bool} is defined, define @code{HAVE__BOOL} to 1.
+
+This macro is intended for use by Gnulib (@pxref{Gnulib}) and other
+packages that supply a substitute @file{stdbool.h} on platforms lacking
+a conforming one. The @code{AC_HEADER_STDBOOL} macro is better for code
+that explicitly checks for @file{stdbool.h}.

If @file{stdbool.h} exists and conforms to C99, define
@code{HAVE_STDBOOL_H} to 1; if the type @code{_Bool} is defined, define
@code{HAVE__BOOL} to 1. To fulfill the C99 requirements, your
-@file{system.h} could contain the following code:
+program could contain the following code:
-@verbatim
+@example
+@group
#ifdef HAVE_STDBOOL_H
# include <stdbool.h>
#else
# define true 1
# define __bool_true_false_are_defined 1
#endif
-@end verbatim
+@end group
+@end example
Alternatively you can use the @samp{stdbool} package of Gnulib
-(@pxref{Gnulib}); it packages the above code into a replacement header
-and contains a few other bells and whistles.
+(@pxref{Gnulib}). It simplifies your code so that it can say just
+@code{#include <stdbool.h>}, and it adds support for less-common
+platforms.
This macro caches its result in the @code{ac_cv_header_stdbool_h}
variable.
+
+This macro differs from @code{AC_CHECK_HEADER_STDBOOL} only in that it
+defines @code{HAVE_STDBOOL_H} whereas @code{AC_CHECK_HEADER_STDBOOL}
+does not.
