Hi all,

Is there any way to pass private data to lua dissectors (in my case, conversation info and corresponding data)?

What I'm trying to do is to dissect protocol's stable part using C code, and the other part using Lua.  The 'stable part' will not be changed frequently, and the other part will.

The best way I could imagine is to export pinfo.private_data  to Lua and serialize/deserialize it.
