Hello,
I am a bit surprised about a problem with compiling Wireshark 1.6.0 with
Visual Studio 2005 for Win32. Some dissectors have assignments from 64 to 32
bit, what will issue a warning C4244 by the compiler. Since the -WX
parameter is passed to the compiler, the compilation fails. The warning
level /W3 will not suppress the warning C4244 but /W2 would do.
example: packet-afp.c
function: dissect_spotlight
line: 3999
toc_offset = (spotlight_ntoh64(tvb, offset) >> 32) * 8 - 8;
where the variable is defines as
gint toc_offset;
Compiler output:
packet-afp.c
packet-afp.c(3999) : error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object'
file generated
packet-afp.c(3999) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'guint64' to
'gint', possible loss of data
Why did this pass the compilation at wireshark.org?
How do I recompile Wireshark 1.6.0?
This affects also
packet-ieee802154.c(2162) : warning C4244: 'return' : conversion from
'guint64' to 'guint', possible loss of data
packet-netflow.c(2623) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'guint64' to
'int', possible loss of data
