Just looking at the checkin url made me a bit unhappy. Just look at this:
jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/epan/dissectors> perl -ne '/(proto_tree_add_[a-z]+)/ && print "$1\n"' packet-dns.c | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
156 proto_tree_add_text
45 proto_tree_add_item
21 proto_tree_add_uint
9 proto_tree_add_string
3 proto_tree_add_boolean
2 proto_tree_add_protocol
1 proto_tree_add_time
So more than half of all the stuff is added by using proto_tree_add_text.
As long as the ratio is that way, people are likely to continue using it
inside this dissector.
Any volunteer(s) to get this down to some sane level by replacing it by
proto_tree_add_item and adding hf_ entries where possible to make these
Elements filterable?
Should something like the above check be added to one of the check scripts
to complain if the add_text percentage is above 10% or so?
Thanks
Jörg
