Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Warnings in packet-h245.c

[Joerg Mayer <jmayer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I get the following warnings in packet-h245.c:

packet-h245.c:13932: warning: invalid storage class for function `dissect_h245_RedundancyEncodingElement'
packet-h245.c:13945: warning: invalid storage class for function `dissect_h245_MultiplePayloadStreamElement'
packet-h245.c:13958: warning: invalid storage class for function `dissect_h245_RedundancyEncodingDTModeElement'
packet-h245.c:13971: warning: invalid storage class for function `dissect_h245_MultiplePayloadStreamElementMode'

one of the places looks like this:

static int
dissect_h245_secondary_REE_sequence_of(tvbuff_t *tvb, int offset, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree)
{
  /* XXX */
  static int dissect_h245_RedundancyEncodingElement(tvbuff_t *tvb, int offset, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree);

          offset=dissect_per_sequence_of(tvb, offset, pinfo, tree, hf_h245_secondary_REE, ett_h245_secondary_REE, dissect_h245_RedundancyEncodingElement );
                  return offset;
}

Is there a reason why the forward declaration is done inside the function
instead of outside (I just tried and it seems to work fine).
Also, why the XXX?

Thanks
    Jörg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
