Hi,

Thanks for the answers, now I at least understand what is going on. Unfortunately it seems,  the data parameter in the dissector call is not promoted to Lua (maybe somthing for another enhancement :) ). So I will probably try to implement Pascal's solution first.

The CAN ID is passed as the "data" parameter to the subdissector from the CAN dissector.  The C code of a subdissector to handle it would be as follows:

 

struct can_identifier
{
    guint32 id;
};

 

static int subdissector_function(tvbuff_t *tvb, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree, void* data)
{
    struct can_identifier can_id;

    can_id = *((struct can_identifier*)data);

    if (can_id.id != 42)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    ...
}

 

I'm not as familiar with Lua to know how to setup the equivalent, but you shouldn't need to "override" the CAN dissector to get the CAN ID.
