Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Why replace ntohl() with g_ntohl()?

["Shaun Jackman" <sjackman@xxxxxxxxx>]

This task seems to be a fundamentally broken idea. Why use a funky
g_ntohl -- or any g_xxx function for that matter -- when there's a
perfectly good, standard library function, namely ntohl?

If a particular architecture doesn't provide ntohl, one may use
autoconf to detect this case and provide ntohl. This case is the
primary reason for using autoconf.

Cheers,
Shaun
