If i define the  variable in the wireshark directory and i use it in the /wiretap and  /epan/dissectors whether or not should i use the  WS_DLL_PUBLIC macro,and by the way i use the wireshark 1.6.5 edition,then what should i do.

If you use Wireshark 1.6.5 source code, you must declare your structure as WS_VAR_IMPORT instead of extern, and add it to wtap.def file. Something like:
WS_VAR_IMPORT performance* performance_test;

and in wtap.def:
performance_test DATA

You can look at other examples of the use of WS_VAR_IMPORT in the source code.

PS: there is no need to send multiple emails to the mailing list with the same question over and over.

Hi,

Assuming you work on the master branch (Wireshark 1.11.X), if you want to use in libwireshark a variable defined in libwiretap, you should export the symbol with the WS_DLL_PUBLIC macro instead of using extern. Do not forget to include ws_symbol_export.h file also.
You can search in the code for examples of the use of this macro.
