# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_EXECINFO([ACTION-IF-EXECINFO-H-IS-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-EXECINFO-H-IS-NOT-FOUND], [ADDITIONAL-TYPES-LIST])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Checks for execinfo.h header and if the len parameter/return type can be
#   found from a list, also define backtrace_size_t to that type.
#
#   By default the list of types to try contains int and size_t, but should
#   some yet undiscovered system use e.g. unsigned, the 3rd argument can be
#   used for extensions. I'd like to hear of further suggestions.
#
#   Executes ACTION-IF-EXECINFO-H-IS-FOUND when present and the execinfo.h
#   header is found or ACTION-IF-EXECINFO-H-IS-NOT-FOUND in case the header
#   seems unavailable.
#
#   Also adds -lexecinfo to LIBS on BSD if needed.
