# - Macro to check whether the STL containers support incomplete types
# The issue at stake is discussed here in depth:
# http://www.drdobbs.com/the-standard-librarian-containers-of-inc/184403814
#
# Empirically libstdc++ and MSVC++ support containers of incomplete types
# whereas libc++ does not.
#
# The result is returned in HAVE_STL_CONTAINER_INCOMPLETE_TYPES
