XXXX: avoid appending xxxx multiple times to frame.protocols field

A given frame's dissection can have multiple packets for a given protocol, if, at any protocol layer, a PDU can contain multiple PDUs for the next layer above it (or parts of multiple PDUs, as with byte-stream protocols such as TCP). Some recent changes have been submitted to fix that for particular protocols. However, the underlying problem is that frame.protocols is intended to be a set (in which a given item can occur only once) rather than a bag (in which a given item can occur multiple times). Perhaps it should be implemented as a set, with uniqueness enforced, so that individual dissectors don't need to keep from putting another XXXX in the bag if there's already one there? ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
