Hi,
GIOP Is Coming along well now. A LOT of new things working,
and now I am adding functionality to read stringified IOR's
from a file at program start.
An IOR is just some data (octet sequence) that
represents some Corba object reference (IOR). eg: Its read from
an input file from giop (in stringified format), when we wish
to load stringified IORs before we dissect some traffic.
I have already converted the stringified sequence to a plain
vanilla octet sequnce of data (eg: guint8's)
Anyway, I want to create a new tvbuff from this octet stream,
so I can leverage my existing get_CDR_xxx(tvbuff * ..)
routines to pull it to pieces, and process parts of the IOR.
I would appreciate some input on how a subdissector can
create tvbuff properly, and dispose of it when required, and
what overhead that creates in ethereal.
Thanks / Frank..
