            Status: NEW

I wanted to make some optimizations to several IDL generated Wireshark
dissectors so I decided to have some fun and try generating some of the
dissectors using pidl as distributed in Wireshark tools/pidl.

Results:

1. epan/dissectors/pidl/mapi:  make gives error message:
    mapi.idl:1592: EcDoRpc: property 'flag' not allowed on 'FUNCTION'

2. dissectors/pidl/nspi:
    The dissector files are generated but have what appear to be some
    non-trivial differences compared to the current files in SVN
epan/dissectors.

I don't know if the IDL generated dissectors are being re-generated or whether
changes are just being made and committed  to the generated dissector source.

Since the dissector changes I wanted to make were optimizations only (and since
I'm clueless about pidl), I'll just file this bug report "for the record" and
leave my changes for another time.
