Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] which one is better? locally allocated memory or the dynamic
Use a dynamically allocated STRUCT.
Since C does not define how structures and fields are laid out in
memory you have to manually unmarshall all individual fields and
assign them into that structure using helper functions such as
tvb_get_[le|n]toh[s|l|64]()

Hi,
Suppose we want to copy the contents from the tvb in to a buffer.
In that case is it better to use the array defined within the function or
is it better to use a dynamically allocated array to copy the contents from
the tvb. Can I free a memory allocated by g_malloc ( ) function, after the
item is added to the display tree?
Regards,
Prashanth.

Sorry Jeff, you're right.
I was trying the latest build found on
http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/win32/ (SVN-19748) and actually
that version is quicker that 0.99.4pre2 (it takes 3 or 4 seconds to start
up, while the prerelease takes at least -on my laptop- 15 seconds).
Ciao,
Davide
