Hi again,
no problem. I have already started to move a good amount of the
literals into the h-file and I will try to move all I can into
"value_string" arrays.
But this won't be possible for everything, as MIDI itself has
some "specialities" already within the coding and RTP-MIDI takes
this even one step further...
So I won't get around the use of a couple of "add_text()" calls.
Apart from that, I noticed quite a few other plugins to use the
"add_text()" pretty regularly - so what's the reason not to use it?
Didn't have looked into the details, so only general thoughts.
I guess you and Jaap are talking about proto_tree_add_text().
Well, add_text is providing the least possible information to the
dissection engine.
For example: if you have an integer and use add_text to show it to the
tree you cannot effectively filter on it, you cannot write a coloring
rule for it, ...
It's about providing meta information, which can then be used by others
(and yourself) to do more advanced things.
