It still has aliasing problems: you can't make them magically go away
by using an intermediate uint8_t*.

You're doing this:

         struct udp_pseudo {
                 uint32_t src;
                 uint32_t dst;
                 uint8_t  z;
                 uint8_t  proto;
                 uint16_t len;
         } tmp;
...

         auto ret = calc_16bit_checksum_part((uint8_t*)&tmp, sizeof(tmp), 0);

         static uint32_t calc_16bit_checksum_part(uint8_t* buf, int len,  
uint32_t ret) {
         struct ui16{
                 uint16_t d;
         };
         ui16 *ptr = (ui16*)buf;

There's no need for any of this messing about with pointer casts, as has
been explained.
