Today coverity told me :

________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*** CID 280353:  Operands don't affect result  (CONSTANT_EXPRESSION_RESULT)
/text2pcap.c: 522 in in_checksum()
516             addr++;
517             count -= 2;
518         }
519     
520         /*  Add left-over byte, if any */
521         if (count > 0)

522             sum += g_ntohs(* (guint8 *) addr);
523     
524         /*  Fold 32-bit sum to 16 bits */
525         while (sum>>16)
526             sum = (sum & 0xffff) + (sum >> 16);
527     


while just git grep'ing for "g_ntohs" I stumbled in doc/README.developer over this sentence
"Instead, use "g_ntohs()", "g_ntohl()", "g_htons()", and "g_htonl() those are declared by <glib.h>"
b/c I did not found any glib.h where those functions are declared.

Furthermore I wonder why an undefined value in epan/crypt/airpdcap_interop.h (around line 98) :

#ifndef ntohs
#undef     ntohs      <--------------
#define ntohs(value)    g_ntohs(value)
#endif

has to be undef again ? Or does "#ifndef" also check for a defined, but empty variable ?
