Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Modifying custom giop dissector

If your type is FT_INT64 you use proto_tree_add_int64[_format_value]
If your type is FT_UINT64 you use proto_tree_add_uint64[_format_value]
 
Same is true for 32-bit values- signed and unsigned types have different APIs.

Is this supposed to work for 64 bit numbers?

I have an entry that looks like

{&hf_Quentin_RushIdent_first, 
{"RushIdent_first","giop-q_quentin.RushIdent.first",FT_INT64,BASE_DEC,NULL,0x0,NULL,HFILL}},

If I change it to FT_UINT64 & BASE_HEX I get an error in the dissector

Message: proto.c:3258: failed assertion "hfinfo->type == FT_INT64"

Making a similar change to variables that are FT_INT32 seems to work as 
expected.

Thanks for any help
