You should not use these fields directly.

Use tcp_dissect_pdus() and that function will handle everything for you.
There are plenty of examples on how to use tcp_dissect_pdus, just grep for it in epan/dissectors

Any chance of a more complete explanation of how dissectors should use
the can_desegment pinfo field for README.developer perhaps? Handling for
this field currently gets no mention in any of the README files.

I've read the description in packet_info.h but am still unsure of what
my dissector should do.
