So, libpcap and tcpdump have lost a few unused macros as well. I did
NOT touch the following unused AC_DEFUNs in tcpdump aclocal.m4:
* AC_LBL_CHECK_64BIT_FORMAT -- this used to define the PRI[doux]64
conversion specifiers before C99 became required/presumed. I wonder
if this presumption is subject to the same problem as the sizeof
length modifier: the compiler might be C99, but the libc may be not.
If trying to compensate for this [again] would be a waste of effort
and the best move would be to delete the macro, at least the build
system could verify that all the required printf() features are in
place -- in fact, a single piece of C code could exercise as many
printf() features as required in one go and fail if at least one of
those failed. Or would it be over-engineering?
* AC_LBL_SSLEAY -- is there anything useful to take from here?
