Objet : Re: [Wireshark-dev] fetching numbers < 8 bits (functionsnotin 
libwireshark.def and not available for plugins)

Hi Jaap,

Thanks for the link. I'll file a bug report and upload the updated 
libwireshark.def file as a patch.

I'm unfortunately not on expert on svn or branches, thanks for the 
documentation link. Hopefully if and when the bug / patch is integrated it will 
remain in future releases (at least that's what I would expect). I guess it's 
the wireshark release version that applies, i.e. if ok in 1.0.5 will work with 
all version above i.e. 1.0.6, 1.0.7 (one branch?) or 1.2.0 etc. (another 
branch?) provided functions are not removed etc. etc.

I'll have a go next week. I must admit being able to "drop" a plugin into a 
release version and having it work is always nice. If you're lucky I might be 
able to contribute the plugin, but the internal approval process is 
unfortunately slow.

Thanks,

David

Hi,

Have a look here http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html/#ChSrcSend

Furthermore, watch out with statements like "as long as a lower svn version has 
the functions available in libwireshark.def ... the compiled plugin dll will 
work correctly on anyone's release of that version or above."

This is only true for releases in the same branch. SVN is simple in that
respect: one incrementing revision number for everything (files and directories 
alike). So when an improvement is made in the development tree, it's not 
automatically available in a earlier release branch even though new maintenance 
releases in the release branch do have a higher SVN revision number.

Have a look at the SVN documentation and 
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/ReleaseNumbers as well.

Thanx,
Jaap
