Dear all, I have a tvbuff that contains one or more dvb sections. I don't know the number of sections or their lengths (only the overall length but that doesn't really matter).
Each table starts with a tag, I can get the dissector table for dvb/mpeg sections and call dissector_try_uint_new(...) to dissect the first section based on its leading tag byte. Unfortunately, dissector_try_uint_new() returns true or false, not the number of dissected bytes. Therefore, I can't find the start of the 2nd and any following sections. This is surprising since dissector_try_uint_new() knows the number of dissected bytes. The few places where it's used now are converting the gboolean return value back to an integer gboolean ret; ret = dissector_try_uint_new(...); return ret ? tvb_length(tvb) : 0; Would it make sense to change dissector_try_uint_new() to return guint? Should I leave dissector_try_uint_new() as it is and introduce a similar function returning guint? Or am I misunderstanding something? I suppose it is ok for a new-style dissector to return something other than 0 or the complete tvb length. Thanks, Martin ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
