Wrong order of values (2, 3, 1, 0xff, 0xf7)
Build Information:
--
1. Lua wrapper is too thin.
Wireshark silently crashed after passing nil instead of hash map. This happened
because of typo, in this case lua silently creates a new variable and inits it
with nil.
Crashing without error message is really bad because persons who only know lua
and who are not so familiar with C can do nothing with this error - neither
they can fix it nor they can report it. Script languages should throw an
exception instead.
2. Lua has no lists/arrays like C/python, it only has hash array. Other as for
lists, iteration order is random, so you should sort keys and iterate over them
(
See screenshot for bug example. Values are listed in order: 2, 3, 1, 0xff,
0xf7.
