This may work:
col_set_writable(COL_DEF_SRC, FALSE);
col_set_writable(COL_DEF_DST, FALSE);
Those are the two default source and address columns that Wireshark
uses. The user may have defined other source/destination columns (such
as unresolved or custom columns) that this wouldn't affect.
You can also call col_get_writable(COL_xxx) (or use the macro
COL_GET_WRITABLE directly) to check if a column is writable. These
functions are in epan/column-utils.h.
