Rigth, at a first time I thougth so, then I overwrote the lines to
be overriden , but these defaults provided are not
SUITABLE for IPv6 ... I mean

At generated cf_parser.h, the systen will load by default:

#if USE_SSL
        /* No default for sslpassword_program */
#endif
        default_line("icp_port 0");
#if USE_HTCP
        default_line("htcp_port 4827");
#endif
        /* No default for mcast_groups */
        default_line("udp_incoming_address 0.0.0.0");
        default_line("udp_outgoing_address 255.255.255.255");
        /* No default for cache_peer */

And clearly, these addresses are not suitable for IPv6 ...
They must be

        default_line("udp_incoming_address ::");
        default_line("udp_outgoing_address ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:fffff:ffff");

So, when booting Squid, the programm BEFORE overriding with squid.conf

fails with

Default configuration file: udp_incoming_address 0.0.0.0.

For the time beeing, I'm changing cf_parser.h by-hand, but this is
generated on compile-time ...!
So I have to make clean, I have to re-type by-hand....
That's why my question...

udp_incoming_address , outgoing and some others else

On this tip,

all 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

must be

all ::/::

Actually I change it by hand on squid.conf...
My opinion should be to be hardcoded as the previous....

Status:We are closer to make Squid3/IPv6 minimum runable...
Actually problems with ipcache.cc
