I think the problem is that the custom format function takes a guint32 as its 2nd argument and you need a guint64, so unless this is changed to a guint64, you will have to modify your declaration to some other BASE_ supported by FT_UINT64 and then use one of the other proto_tree_add_XYZ() routines such as proto_tree_add_uint64_format().
>From README.developer:
BASE_CUSTOM allows one to specify a callback function pointer that will
format the value. The function pointer of the same type as defined by
custom_fmt_func_t in epan/proto.h, specifically:
void func(gchar *, guint32);

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Custom formatter for 64bit field
Hi!
I'm writing a dissector for a protocol that uses a 64-bit time field
which is not in the format required for FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME.
So, I declared the hfinfo like
{ &hf_prot_pkthdr_time,
{ "Transmit Time", "prot.time",
FT_UINT64, BASE_CUSTOM,
prot_fmt_time, 0x0,
"Transmission timestamp",
HFILL }
}
However, this causes an abort from the assertion in proto.c:4182
(trunk), which checks that hfinfo->strings is NULL (no, because of the
custom formatter), or the type matches a set that doesn't include
FT_UINT64.
This is my first attempt at writing a dissector, so I'm sure I'm missing
something. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
d
