Hello,
Am I correct that it is OK to use pinfo->private_data to pass information to sub-dissectors?
Should dissector save pinfo->private_data and restore it after calling all sub-dissectors it needs?
I've seen plenty of dissectors which do not follow this rule and going to fix them.
To Wireshark core developers: your opinion?
Most cases are trivial, except automatically generated files (which I should not modify
and count on ASN.1 compiler, for example) *and* packet-rpc.c written by Uwe Girlich.
Any ideas about packet-rpc?
Regards,
