Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Custom dissector causing wireshark to crash

Ok, the base issues were the problem and Wireshark now open successfully. It said mac.priority because I didn't check carefully enough when I renamed the protocol.

You are using BASE_NONE for integers.  This isn't allowed.  Ref: doc/README.developer.

BTW, any reason why one of your display filters is called "mac.priority" and not "abc.priority"?

I fixed the change you mentioned and am still failing at the same proto_register_field_array call.


       static hf_register_info hf[] = {
       { &hf_abc_flags,
           { "Flags", "abc.flags",
           FT_UINT8, BASE_NONE,
           NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }

       { &hf_abc_crc,
           { "CRC", "abc.crc",
           FT_UINT16, BASE_HEX,
           NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
       },
       { &hf_abc_txPower,
           { "txPower", "abc.txPower",
           FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC,
           NULL, 0x0,
           "Transmit power for message in dBm",
           HFILL }
       },
       { &hf_abc_frameType,
           { "frameType", "abc.frameType",
           FT_UINT16, BASE_NONE,
           NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
       },
       { &hf_abc_prevHop,
           { "prevHop", "abc.prevHop",
           FT_UINT32, BASE_HEX,

           "Address of node that message was received from",
           HFILL }
       },
       { &hf_abc_nextHop,
           { "nextHop", "abc.nextHop",
           FT_UINT32, BASE_HEX,
           NULL, 0x0,

           HFILL }
       },
       { &hf_abc_seqNum,
           { "seqNum", "abc.seqNum",
           FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC,
           NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
       },
       { &hf_abc_priority,
           { "priority", "mac.priority",
           FT_UINT8, BASE_NONE,
           NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
       },
       { &hf_abc_frameContentLen,
           { "frameContentLen", "abc.frameContentLen",
           FT_UINT16, BASE_DEC,
           NULL, 0x0,
           "Length of buffer sent OTA including mac headers",
           HFILL }
       },
       { &hf_abc_duration,
           { "duration", "abc.duration",
           FT_UINT16, BASE_DEC,
           NULL, 0x0,
           "Duration in microsec used for CSMA NAV calculation",
           HFILL }
       },

           { "token", "abc.token",
           FT_UINT32, BASE_NONE,
           NULL, 0x0, NULL, HFILL }
       },

           FT_UINT32, BASE_NONE,
           NULL, 0x0,

       }

       should be


                { &hf_abc_txPower,
                    { "txPower", "abc.txPower",

                    FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC, NULL, 0x0,
                    "Transmit power for message in dBm", HFILL }
                },

       Stepping through the code (eg: proto_register-field_array) is the way to
       find bugs like this.
