Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] XXXX: avoid appending xxxx multiple times to frame.protocols field

[Roland Knall <rknall@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is code, that depends on the sequence. It is important to know sometimes, if it is the first or the last entry. 

I could do with a shortcut, but then we have to store the sequence internally ( which is not a big issue ), but would prefer to have a signal in the list. e.g. eth:epl:*opensafety fo determine, that that protocol is repeated multiple times.

I do not like the solution in general, much rather would hae to have individual packets, but this is for further changes down the line.

cheers

And there's code that depends on that entry being

        eth:epl:opensafety:opensafety:opensafety

rather than just being

        eth:epl:opensafety

even with three sequential openSAFETY packets atop Ethernet POWERLINK?
