Is there a need for a 0, NULL element at the end of value strings

Hi folks, I have always put a {0, NULL} element on the end of value strings, but it seems the lua code for constructing value strings when you use ProtoField(..., some_value_string) does not terminate the list with an empty element, and my test did not cause a crash. Rather, I got an "unknown" field as expected. Can anyone confirm they are not needed? -- 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
