The exceptions are currently:
Some EXTRACT_ in print-juniper.c, not used on packet buffer pointer.
An EXTRACT_BE_U_3 in addrtoname.c, not always used on packet buffer
pointer.
This can prevent bizarre failures if, for example, you've done a
configuration in the top-level source directory, leaving behind one
config.h file, and then do an out-of-tree build in another directory,
with different configuration options. This way, we always pick up the
same config.h, in the build directory.
Some fields in the header are in the byte order of the host that wrote
them; one of them is a 32-bit AF_ value, and those are not likely ever
to be > 65535, so they should never have any of the upper 16 bits set,
and are also unlikely ever to be AF_UNSPEC, i.e. 0, so they should have
at least one of the lower 16 bits set. This means that they will have
at least one of the upper 16 bits set iff the host that wrote the file
has the opposite byte order of the host that's reading the file; use
that to determine whether to byte-swap the address-family or flags
fields. (The SPI field is in *network* byte order.)
Use the BSD_AFNUM values to check for IPv4 vs. IPv6 traffic, so we don't
have to have the same AF_ values as the host that wrote the file.
Now all the macros have a name meaning a count in bytes.
With _S_: signed, _U_: unsigned
e.g.:
EXTRACT_BE_32BITS -> EXTRACT_BE_U_4
EXTRACT_LE_32BITS -> EXTRACT_LE_U_4
...
EXTRACT_BE_INT32 -> EXTRACT_BE_S_4
and have:
EXTRACT_8BITS -> EXTRACT_U_1
EXTRACT_INT8 -> EXTRACT_S_1
with the tag '\summary:' for greping.
Remark: Currently some printers have no summary line.
Moreover:

The purpose of this macro was to enable the file-by-file switch to NDO,
after which only tcpdump.c had a use of it and the definitions guarded
by it. Update tcpdump.c not to require them any more and dismiss the
unused definitions.
Always define and declare ip6_print(), always compile print-ip6.c, and
always call it if we recognize a payload as IPv6. If INET6 isn't
defined, ip6_print() will just print the length and note that printing
isn't supported.
That way, we don't do weird dissection of IPv6 packets on systems
without IPv6 support, due to, for example, ethertype_print() returning 0
("not dissected") for IPv6 packets on those systems (IPv6-over-Frame
Relay was dissected weirdly due to this).
And, as we require at least autoconf 2.61, and as autoconf 2.61 and
later have AC_TYPE_UINTn_T and AC_TYPE_INTn_T macros, we use them to
define the uintN_t and intN_t macros if the system doesn't define them
for us.
This lets us get rid of bitypes.h as well.
Both interface.h and netdissect.h include <pcap.h>, thus most files
should not include it regardless if these need it or not. The only
exceptions so far remain:
* addrtoname.c
* missing/datalinks.c
* missing/dlnames.c
* tcpdump.c
Remove lots of $Header's and a few $Id's that all belong to the former
CVS repository of tcpdump itself. These keywords have been frozen since
the migration to git in late 2008.
For headers included in only one source file, put the header contents in
the source file in question, and get rid of a bunch of stuff from the
header not used in the source file.
Use the EXTRACT_ macros to extract multi-byte integral values from
packets, rather than just dereferencing pointers into the packet; there
is no guarantee that the packet data will be aligned on the right
boundary, and there is no guarantee that, if they're not, a direct
access will work correctly.

tcpdump-4.0.0 fails to build with --disable-ipv6. Patch to fix the issue
is in attachment.
appropriately, and that GNUmakefile and the MSVC++ project file define
it apppriately, as we do with libpcap, rather than defining it in
"interface.h".
Undo the rcsid-shuffling and addition of extra #includes, as we no
longer need to arrange that "interface.h" be included before using _U_
in an RCS ID or copyright.
use "_U_" in the definitions of "rcsid[]", to eliminate
complaints about those variables being unused;
move the definitions after the include of "interface.h", or add
an include of "interface.h", so that "_U_" is defined.
Include "config.h" before including "tcpdump-stdinc.h" in
"missing/datalinks.c".
