------- Comment #7 from gerhard.nospam@xxxxxxxxx 2007-12-14 23:08 GMT -------
Thanks for the comments.
I am certainly no expert in Wireshark.
Without defending the solution, is not using conversation something that should
be generally to heuristic dissectors to avoid loops?
Reference implementations are good, but someone must do them...
Question: Even if returning the number of bytes is the solution, is there a
problem?
Note: Heuristic dissectors should return no of used bytes so a separate call to
find no of bytes used should be called. If you can get it from the
tcp_dissect_pdu, a separate call to find size is eliminated.
