Though i do think, this might have to do something with the wireshark code base too. For example I created this file
as importtest.c and on compiling with gcc (clang), the file does get compiled. Here is the verbose output from that compile
Ajays-MacBook-Pro:scripts ajasaxen$ gcc -v importtest.c -o importtest
