Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 8467] Need functions to mirror val_to_str

Comment # 7 on bug 8467 from
So it sounds like:

- sip dissector could use an extended string_string implementation (similar to
extended value_string) that also has to have optional case-insensitivity

- hpfeeds dissector (bug #8461) could use string_value

- the PTP dissector (bug #8431) could use a masked value string of some sort

Any immediate objections to the rename? If none I'll go ahead and do that, then
land Sebastiano's patch and take a closer look at what needs doing. The
values_string API is already large (lots of
very-similar-but-not-quite-identical functions) and adding another three types
would grow it even further.

I'm wondering if there's a way to simplifiy or deduplicate parts of it...
