Hi,
I’m developing a new Ethernet dissector (as a
plugin), but I’m stuck with a compiler error when I #include <epan/etypes.h>:
C:\wireshark\wireshark-1.0.5\epan/etypes.h(410) :
error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'etype_vals'
C:\wireshark\wireshark-1.0.5\epan/etypes.h(410) :
error C2059: syntax error : ';'
C:\wireshark\wireshark-1.0.5\epan/etypes.h(410) :
error C3409: empty attribute block is not allowed
C:\wireshark\wireshark-1.0.5\epan/etypes.h(410) :
error C2059: syntax error : ';'
Interestingly, this problem is predicted in the developer
README:
“Don't use forward declarations of
static arrays without a specified size … as some compilers will reject
the first of those statements.”
I need etypes.h for my new Ethertype, and to call the
ethertype() function for handing off to the next dissector. I’m reluctant
to change established code in etypes.h and packet-ethertype.c because changes
would surely affect other dissectors.
Has anyone else experienced this error, or can anyone
think of a solution to this compilation problem?
Kind regards,
Pat
