Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Question regarding emem -> wmem conversion
From: Joerg Mayer <jmayer@xxxxxxxxx>

I just looked at packet-tacacs.c. The conversion looked straight forward,
the em_alloc was easy to convert. Then I noticed calls to ep_address_to_str,
which is done in epan/ep_address_to_str.c
Is it OK to leave that and only convert the other strings, i.e. is it OK
if some of the memory is handled by emem and some by wmem?

Thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
