Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Patches for gsm-packet_sms dissector

From: Willem Dekker <wd-it@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2006 23:06:51 +0200
Dear wireshark developers, 

After running same test trace files I noticed a lot of non-utf8 error messages from wireshark. 
The attached patch fixes this and converts the sms content (7 bit encoded, gms 03.38 alphabet)  into utf8. 

The only difficutily I had is how to handle the platforms without a glib 2 library (windows? / older unix versions). 
I made some code for this, but have not tested this. 

Attached are is a patch to packet-gsm_sms.c  (unified diff to the latest wireshark source tar files).

If desired I can send a trace file exhibiting the problem. 

Regards, 

Willem Dekker
