I ran the
checkAPIs.pl script against the files I have modified and it complains about a
lot of proto_tree_add_text() calls.
I would like to fix
them but after looking at the README.dissector document I'm left wondering if
there is an easier way
than using
proto_tree_add_item.
The places in the
dissector where add_text() is used were for labelling parts of the protocol
without having to create
filterable
fields.
For example, in
packet-ansi_a.c there are 457 useless add_text() calls vs 26 add_<something
else>() calls.
Do I have to add 457
items (approximately, some may duplicate) to hf_register_info
?
Basically, I want to
just label a bunch of bits or octets, no subtree, not
filterable.
Thanks for you
help.
