Hi Pascal,

thanks for your answer, it solved my problem. Using Cygwin terminal for perl is working perfect ☺

Thanks a lot!

Hi Tobias,

2016-02-24 10:16 GMT+02:00 FIXED-TERM Scholz Tobias (DC-IA/EAI3) <fixed-term.Tobias.Scholz () boschrexroth

Hey,

before uploading my changes, I wanted to test my files with perl, like its mentioned within the guide “3.9 – Contribute 
your changes”.  For my new functions I edited three files.
·         Starting perl for the first file I first got the error, that I used non-ASCII Chars. Since I have fixed that 
problem, starting perl another time for the same file it’s just crashing and I get a Windows message “perl.exe has 
stopped working”. Looking to the prompt, there hasn’t been added any new output message by perl. Does anybody know, 
whats happening there or how I get the error for crashing perl?
(I used the perl command within git-bash and having a win7 x64 operating system.)

·         Using the perl command for the other two files, I get this message on the prompt:
“Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/ \s index \s*+ <-- HERE  [^\(\w] / at 
D:/Development/wireshark/tools/checkAPIs.pl line 1395.”
I even don’t get the point of that message. Can someone help me with that issue?

The Perl script is tested (and supposed to work) with Cygwin's Perl interpreter. I do not know whether it's expected to 
use with the Perl version packaged with Windows Git package. Could you retry from Cygwin terminal rather than git-bash 
one? On my side I avoid as much as possible the use of pre-packaged programs from Git Windows installer.
BTW if you copy the tools\pre-commit file in our D:\Development\wireshark\.git\hooks folder, the checks will be 
performed automatically at commit time.
Regards,
Pascal.
