Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Getting bytes from fvalue_t

Hi all,

I need to get bytes representing the fvalue_t data. So, I need to be
able to know if the field value of fvalue_t is representing a pointer
or the real data
Examples :
  if the type is FT_ETHER, the field value is representing a pointer
to a data (more exactly a GByteArray)
  if the type is FT_UINT8, the field value is directly representing a uint8

Is this should work every times? (It works for those two examples)

	if (cfile.finfo_selected->value.ftype->get_value) {
		ptr = cfile.finfo_selected->value.ftype->get_value(&cfile.finfo_selected->value);
	}
	else {
		ptr = &cfile.finfo_selected->value.value;
	}

Is there a better way to do it?
Thanks :-)
