We're planning on changing the way plugins work on Windows in the next
release - instead of having a table of function pointers and a bunch of
#defines to refer to those function pointers, plugins will import
functions from libethereal. (That's much easier to maintain - it's
still necessary to add to epan/libethereal.def the names of new routines
for use by plugins, but you don't have to add the function prototype to
the file, and the various files don't have to be generated from
plugin_api_list.c.)
The list of exported functions in libethereal already includes those
functions; the list of functions in plugin_api_list.c will not be
changed in the future, as new plugin dissectors shouldn't be using it,
and eventually plugin dissectors that use the table of function pointers
will no longer be supported.
The current Ethereal source in Subversion, and current buildbot builds
of Ethereal, already work that way, and the "doc/README.plugins" file in
Subversion, have details on how to convert a dissector to the new mechanism.
