Hi,

So, you want to keep this function call:

proto_tree_add_item(wgs84_tree, hf_conf_pmu_lat, tvb, offset, 4, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);

with this header field definition:

{ &hf_conf_pmu_lat, { "PMU Latitude", "synphasor.conf.pmu_latitude", FT_FLOAT,

    BASE_NONE | BASE_UNIT_STRING, &units_degree_degrees, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }}

but have it output "Unspecified Location" in case the value is +/- infinity.

Unfortunately the use of BASE_CUSTOM is not available for FT_FLOAT, so I see no other way than this:

    if (isinf(pmu_lat)) {
        proto_tree_add_float_format_value(wgs84_tree,
      hf_conf_pmu_lat_unknown, tvb, offset, 4,
      INFINITY, unspecified_location);
    } else {
        proto_tree_add_item(wgs84_tree, hf_conf_pmu_lat, tvb,
      offset, 4, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
    }

and these header field definitions:

{ &hf_conf_pmu_lat_unknown, { "PMU Latitude", "synphasor.conf.pmu_latitude", FT_FLOAT,

    BASE_NONE, NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }}

{ &hf_conf_pmu_lat, { "PMU Latitude", "synphasor.conf.pmu_latitude", FT_FLOAT,

    BASE_NONE | BASE_UNIT_STRING, &units_degree_degrees, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }}

Now at least the field abbrev "synphasor.conf.pmu_latitude" has a constant type FT_FLOAT.

I hope I got this right.

Hello, Jaap Keuter!

I made some fast cheks and need some help.

I need some function like:
proto_tree_add_item(wgs84_tree, hf_conf_pmu_lat, tvb, offset, 4, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
{ &hf_conf_pmu_lat, { "PMU Latitude", "synphasor.conf.pmu_latitude", FT_FLOAT,

          BASE_NONE | BASE_UNIT_STRING, &units_degree_degrees, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }}

witch replace Infinity with text: "Unspecified Location"

Тема: Issues in synphasor dissector

Hi Dmitriy,

There are still some issues with the synphasor dissector. There are a number of fields with the same field abbreviation, but incompatible type.
These are lines from the 'conflict check' run by the buildbot:

'synphasor.conf.chnam_len' exists multiple times with NOT compatible types: FT_STRING and FT_UINT8
'synphasor.conf.phasor_flags' exists multiple times with NOT compatible types: FT_UINT16 and FT_BOOLEAN
'synphasor.conf.pmu_latitude' exists multiple times with NOT compatible types: FT_STRING and FT_FLOAT
'synphasor.conf.pmu_longitude' exists multiple times with NOT compatible types: FT_STRING and FT_FLOAT
'synphasor.conf.pmu_elevation' exists multiple times with NOT compatible types: FT_STRING and FT_FLOAT

https://buildbot.wireshark.org/petri-dish/builders/Ubuntu%20Petri%20Dish%20x64/builds/12010/steps/conflict%20check/logs/stdio

You seem to be knowledgeable about this protocol and dissector. Would you be able to address these reported issues?

Thanks,
Jaap
