Hi,

 

I’ve noticed everything in Wireshark seems to be in C89 , which I guess is understandable for portability reasons.

 

I’m curious whether you guys would be okay with having an external test tool be in C++ 11 though (think of something like tshark or rawshark but much smaller/simpler and for test purposes) , this would limit the platforms where that tool can be compiled, but would also make development for it a lot more comfortable.

 

I can rewrite it to be in C89 if needed, but if I can save myself some work, that would be nice J

 

Thanks,

 

Hassan
