well my function is in the dll that i export for my dissector to use. here's
the code:
(_AppendMultiMsg)( target, bnpLength ); // adds current tvb to the buffer in
my dll
multiMsgSize = (_GetMultiMsgSize)(); // size of whole buffer as int
next_tvb = tvb_new_real_data((const guint8 *)(_GetMultiMsg)(),
multiMsgSize, multiMsgSize); //new tvb that holds the buffer from my dll
tvb_set_free_cb(next_tvb, (_FreeMultiMemory)); // FreeMultiMemory is the
function that will free the void* multiMsg object in my dll that is holding the
buffer in the first place
add_new_data_source(pinfo, next_tvb, "Multi-Part Message");
dissectPacket( next_tvb, bnp_tree, pinfo );
So i was wondering a way to put my buffer from dll into a new buffer, free the
memory from my dll, but have it copied in wireshark memory to use. I had
something like this before, would this work?:
(_AppendMultiMsg)( target, bnpLength );
multiMsgSize = (_GetMultiMsgSize)();
free(target);
target = ep_alloc(multiMsgSize);
memcpy(target, (_GetMultiMsg)(), multiMsgSize);
target = (_GetMultiMsg)();
next_tvb = tvb_new_real_data((const guint8 *)target,
multiMsgSize, multiMsgSize);*/
(_FreeMultiMemory)();
add_new_data_source(pinfo, next_tvb, "Multi-Part Message");
dissectPacket( next_tvb, bnp_tree, pinfo );
Thanks for the help,
Greg

add a call to tvb_set_free_cb()
after tvb_new_read_data()
next_tvb = tvb_new_real_data(data, datalen, datalen);
tvb_set_free_cb(new_tvb, my_free);
my_free() is called when next_tvb is freed.
for example if data is a g_malloc buffer, g_free will do it.
