Re: tcpdump 3.9.8 / libpcap 0.9.8 releases coming shortly

["Gianluca Varenni" <gianluca.varenni () cacetech com>]

After a quick compilation test, libpcap compiles ok (albeit with some new 
warnings popping out from VC6).

tcpdump (0.9.x branch) has some problems, instead:

- print-rsvp.c doesn't compile as it's not strictly C

-----
       case RSVP_OBJ_LABEL_SET:
           switch(rsvp_obj_ctype) {
           case RSVP_CTYPE_1:
   if (obj_tlen < 4)
                   return-1;

               u_int action, subchannel;
               action = (EXTRACT_16BITS(obj_tptr)>>8);
-----
(the declaration of u_int action and subchannel should be at be beginning)

- print-icmp.c

-----
struct icmp_mpls_ext_common_header_t {
};
-----
This 0-length structure doesn't seem to be used at all and VC6 doesn't like 
0-length structures. Ok to completely remove the structure definition?

-print-pflog.c: this file does not compile at all because HAVE_NET_PFVAR_H 
is not available under windows. I can probably easily fix it by taking the 
needed files from BSD, but it make take a couple hours to do that.


Can we delay the release of 0.9.8/3.9.8 until tomorrow?
