Hi,
I made a patch calling register_dissector for CAN
(https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/12780/). Actually it was quite easy, 30%
of the time was needed to make Wireshark build at all, 2% to make and test the
patch and the rest to get this gerrit thingy running :D
If/when it gets applied all that is needed to get a reference to the CAN
dissector is
original_can_dissector = Dissector.get("can")
However, for the benefit of people just googling it, if the patch is not
accepted or you are using a stable version of Wireshark, this is a workaround
for Lua:
local WTAP_ENCAP_SOCKETCAN = 125 --from wtap.h
wtap_tbl=DissectorTable.get("wtap_encap")
original_can_dissector = wtap_tbl:get_dissector(WTAP_ENCAP_SOCKETCAN)
