So i tried doing:
const BYTE* target;
tvb_memcpy(tvb, target, offset, data_length);
and i get the error:
packet-icom.c
packet-icom.c(246) : error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file ge
nerated
packet-icom.c(246) : warning C4090: 'function' : different 'const' qualifiers
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN
\cl.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
can someone please clarify this?
Thank you,
Greg

I have no idea. short of doing const BYTE* target; i dont know how to allocate
or free. Maybe you could give me an example of how to allocate const BYTE* target, and then free it?

i have linked the library using LoadLibrary() in my custom dissector plugin. I
will be sending the data as a parameter in a wrapper function within my proxy
dll to send it to the lib.

Hi Sebastien,
I will be taking the data and sending it to a dll that i am using as a proxy.
the proxy will send the data to a lib that will create a msg type object to be
sent back to the proxy dll, then it will be decoded by another lib that has
functions to return parts of the message.
hmmm, well, I guess you know what you're doing :)
the msg type object takes a const BYTE* as a parameter along with the size of
the buffer. so i guess i want target to be a const BYTE* then eh?
That sounds reasonable!
is that a type thats possible for this?
Yes
and also, how would i go about freeing the memory?
Depending on how you're allocating the const BYTE*
or if its possible to send just part of the tvbuff then i could use that as a
parameter, though i dont know a function to do that.
How are you "sending" the data to your DLL? Are you linking this DLL to
wireshark?
