$ gcc -bash: gcc: command not found $ clang -bash: clang: command not found $ cc -bash: cc: command not found ... Obviously not my machine, which *does* have gcc and clang installed, and in which cc is a link to gcc, but if somebody's not interested in writing C code but *is* interested in adding a new protocol to Wireshark, and doesn't have a C compiler installed, either translating to an interpreted bytecode or to, for example, LLVM language: http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html and JITting it into your machine code, could be useful. > However, AFAIK, there is no such dissector VM today.

There isn't, but perhaps there should be. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
