Note that pcap_findalldevs() is not specified as guaranteeing that all interfaces have a non-null description field. A quick look at the WinPcap 4.1.1 code doesn't seem to show any way for any interfaces to have a null description field on Windows, but perhaps I'm missing something. In any case, the checks for a null pointer probably still belong there, just in case, in the future, pcap_findalldevs() can return an interface with a null description field. However, if the description field is null, no () will be printed. If it points to a null *string*, () will be printed - but you won't get a null-pointer dereference in that case. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
