I propose to use a perl script to automate as much as reasonable the
replacement of TRUE/FALSE in the encoding parameter of the
proto_tree_add_item() calls in dissectors as follows:
First step:
For hf[] entries with type
FT_NONE
FT_BYTES
FT_IPV6
FT_IPXNET
FT_UID
convert the field to ENC_NA.
Obviously there will be exception cases (e.g., something other than
TRUE/FALSE/ENC_NA for the param) which I'll need to flag (and presumably
handle manually).
If I can do this step then I'll proceed from there.
For the next step is it simply a case of replacing the remaining
TRUE/FALSE encoding parameter by ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN/ENC_BIG_ENDIAN ?
One thing I don't quite understand: In a number of the dissectors why
do proto_tree_add_item() encoding parameters for hf items with type
FT_STRING have ENC_ASCII *and* ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN|ENC_BIG_ENDIAN ?
Shouldn't this be ENC_ASCII | ENC_NA in this case ?
Comments ?
Bill
