(It may also involve the way to deliver them, given that a given protocol might appear more than once in the protocol stack, given various forms of tunneling/encapsulation.)
OK, I've checked in a change that allows a postdissector to specify an array (GArray) of hfids for fields that it's going to be extracting from the protocol tree. With that change, when the packets are being read in for the first time, *or* redissected after, for example, a preference change, the protocol tree will be built if any postdissector has specified any such fields (as well as in all the other cases where it currently happens to be built). I've modified MATE and TRANSUM to use that API if they're enabled. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
