Hi all,

I needed to dissect a simple hf item in ospf, a integer one.
The possible values were in ranges like:

0     3 "foo"
1     4 "bar"
5     5 "shark"
6   100 "reserved"
101 200 "private use"

in such a case I normally use "switch" or "if" statements
and several proto_tree_add_uint_format() or
proto_tree_add_text() to properly handle the "reserved" and
"private use" cases. If I'm not wrong there is no
way to dissect such a hf in one shot using a
single proto_tree_add_xxx() call.

So I defined a range_string struct. It's like value_string
but stores range <-> string pairs.
Moreover I wrote rval_to_str(), match_strrval_idx()
match_strrval() which are behaving exactly as
val_to_str(), match_strval_idx() and match_strval().
(almost cut && paste :-))

now we can do something like:

static const range_string rvals[] = {
       {   0,   3, "foo"},
       {   1,   4, "bar"},
       {   5,   5, "shark" },
       {   6, 100, "reserved"},
       { 101, 200, "private"},
       { 0,     0, NULL}
};

proto_tree_add_uint_format(tree,
                          hf_augh,
                          tvb,
                          offset,
                          1,
                          value,
                          "bla bla: %u (%s)",
                          value,
                          rval_to_str(value, rvals, "Unknown"));

This way people can write less lines of code (yes I'm lazy ;-)))
and IMHO it's more readable.

if you like this solution please apply
"range_string_and_ospf_bcmodel_id.patch",
if you don't please apply "ospf_bcmodel_id.patch". You
find both in attachment, they are diffed against
svn rev. 19892.


Thanks
Ciao
