Who the actual fuck cares about native byte swapping instructions. We're talking about DHCP code, there is no computer in the universe on which parsing of DHCP packets is even noticeable as a blip on the performance chart.

We're talking about safe ways to write parsers for byte streams. The original article used systemd's DHCP bug as a motivating example, but none of this is specific to DHCP.
