Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] COPY_ADDRESS and g_malloc()

Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 11:46:15 +0000
There is another issue, currently COPY_ADDRESS is to be given a
pointer to the address structure to be populated, whose lifetime might
be whatever (stack, se-heap, ep-heap, pe-heap) and not linked to
whatever populates the structure.

I believe that we should have two sets of COPY_ADDRESS one that
returns a newly allocated and populated address struct
(XX_DUP_ADDRESS), and another that does what it's currently being done
(XX_COPY_ADDRESS).

may be we should have EP_COPY_ADDRESS, SE_COPY_ADDRESS and
PE_COPY_ADDRESS instead.
