#1943: Helper functions {get,set}_uint{16,32,64}() are not used
-----------------+----------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  asn  |        Type:  defect   
   Status:  new  |    Priority:  normal   
Milestone:       |   Component:  Tor Relay
  Version:       |    Keywords:           
   Parent:       |  
-----------------+----------------------------------------------------------
 The helper functions get_uint{16,32,64}() and set_uint{16,32,64}() should
 be used instead of "*(uint16_t*)(cp)" etc. to avoid unaligned address
 access problems with specific OSes.

 There are many cases in the source tree that this doesn't happen.
 For example, in the cell_unpack() function we have:
 {{{
 dest->command = *(uint8_t*)(src+2);
 }}}
