Michael Mann has submitted this change and it was merged. Change subject: Add support for BASE_VALS_NO_UNKNOWN ...................................................................... Add support for BASE_VALS_NO_UNKNOWN BASE_VALS_NO_UNKNOWN is a special value_string value for only a single (maybe 2) numerical value(s). If a field has the numerical value that doesn't match anything in the value_string, just the number is supplied for the field (no "Unknown") Dissectors that had this use case have been converted in the patch.
The use case for this appears to be for fields that normally have a numerical value, and where particular numerical values have no special significance, but where certain numerical values have a special meaning - for example, a field that's normally a timeout in milliseconds, but where a value of 0 means "time out immediately" and a value of 0xFFFFFFFF means "never time out". Would a more descriptive name for it be something such as BASE_SPECIAL_VALS? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
