That's a good question. Here is what the wsgd site says: - basic types (integers, float, string ...) I have most of these - transform options (quantum, expression) to compute a value from the packet one Don't have these. - display options (hex, oct, bin, printf format, expression) Don't have these but I need something like that. - constaint specification (min and max values) to detect errors in data (red line) Don't have these. - Array (fixed or variable size) Have these ... - Enum Have these ... - Bit field Have these ... - Structure Have these ... - Conditions and loops (if, while, do while, ...) Have these in the form of switch statements and array bounds (that is, and array bound can be a do while type of thing.) - Switch case Have these ... - Functions Don't have these but am thinking of them in the form of annotations. - Global data Don't have these ... - subproto data Don't know. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操)(传说杜康是酒的发明者) ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
