Oh yes there is!
What about the 'scalar' or 'watched scalar' helpers?
Those take the type of the object being watched as a parameter, so
that the same interface can be used for any type of object. You
don't have to craft a new API call for each different syntax type.
Code such as
netsnmp_register_watched_scalar(
netsnmp_create_handler_registration(
"my_counter", NULL,
my_counter_oid, OID_LENGTH(OID_LENGTH),
HANDLER_CAN_RONLY).
netsnmp_create_watcher_info(
&my_counter_var, sizeof(my_counter_var),
ASN_TIMETICKS, WATCHER_FIXED_SIZE )
);
should do the trick without needing to touch the APIs.
I know that nobody seems to want to use my scalar handlers (<sniff>)
but they *do* exist. *AND* they handle invalid instances properly
which the instance helpers don't.
