--- Comment #7 from Bill Meier <wmeier@xxxxxxxxxxx> 2012-01-30 15:17:15 PST ---
I've committed some changes as described in comment #9 (SVN #40779).

(Note that I didn't find an easy way to ignore certain large .sbr files so
there will be a few warnings the first time a .bsc file is created after a
clean build).

In any case, when I tried to use the .bsc file in VC2008 (& VC2010) I was
unable to see anything other than public global symbols even though /FR was
used when compiling. That is: I could not see any static functions or local
variables.

A bit of poking around on the web suggests that "source browsing" as I knew it
in VC6 is no longer part of Visual Studio.

Maybe someone will will have better results than I trying to use the .bsc file.

So: the capability to generate Wireshark .sbr & .bsc files exists but is
disabled by default.

Defining an environment variable WIRESHARK_GENERATE_BSC_FILE before starting a
clean build will enable the generation of the .sbr files and then the .bsc
file.
