Hi all,

How to write a non-leaking plugin ?

I suspect functions like proto_item_append_text are creating leaks.

Is there a set of rules to build a non leaking plugin, enabling to have a non-leaking tethereal ?

I would like to use only Ethernet, IP, TCP and my plugin in a "probe" that would never stop.

Thank you
