Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Support for ASN.1 ECN in asn2wrs

[Olivier Willot <olivier.willot@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Is there any plan to add support of Encoding Control Notation in  
asn2wrs? That would allow to easily add support for non ASN.1 based  
protocols without needing to hand-code a dissector.

In the mean-time, any workaround ( custom wireshark specific encoding  
for instance )?

I need to develop dissectors for ASCII based application protocols and  
some packed binary structs based ones as well.
I seems that for ASCII based ones, using IA5 strings only with  
standard PER encoding could do it, but I would like to be sure under  
which conditions PER will encode my field with a TLV triplet and under  
which condition I can be sure it will only write the field value with  
no prefix.
Do you have an example of ASCII based protocol which abstract syntax  
exactly matches the corresponding C structure? Using Which encoding?

Thanks
Olivier
