Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] New proto_add_bits function (Was:rev 21556:/trunk/epan//tr..
Hi,
Sounds good to me, I've been considering if we need
Different proto_tree_add_bits_ret_val()s
for 8 16 32 and 64 bits what do you think?
Regards
Anders

Hi all, and Anders in particular:

I've just been investigating why packet colouring and display-filters
weren't working on h263 picture headers. It turns out that the problem
was that proto_tree_add_bits_ret_val extracts the value, returning 0 or
1 (for a 1-bit field); proto_tree_set_uint then applies the bitmask
specified in the hf_field definition - giving 0 for most fields.
It seems to me that the bitmask should be 0 for all fields intended for
use with proto_tree_add_bits_*.
I've fixed this for h263 in r25050, but I'm concerned that there will
other cases, both now (h264, maybe?) and in the future - and that such
bugs will once again lie dormant until somebody tries to filter on the
offending fields.
I'd therefore like to propose adding this to proto_tree_add_bits_ret_val:
+ if(hf_field -> bitmask != 0) {
+ REPORT_DISSECTOR_BUG(ep_strdup_printf("Incompatible use
of proto_tree_add_bits_ret_val with field '%s' (%s) with bitmask != 0",
+
hf_field->abbrev, hf_field->name));
+ }
+
Comments?
Cheers
Richard
