warnings for unused parameters are fixed easily by adding a _U_ to the
function arguments.
I.e. foo(..., int not_used _U_ , ...){

Can you look into eliminating these.
Also, while not a real issue, but in most dissector helpers we use we
return the new value of offset and not the number of bytes consumed.
Could you change your helpers to do this?
so that after calling them it would be
offset=foo(..., offset, ...);
instead of
offset += foo(...);
This would make it much more inline with other dissectors and reduce
our maintenance workload of this dissector (since it is currently
different to most others).
We also prefer (for consistency) that
the functions :
proto_register_PROTO()
and
proto_reg_handoff_PROTO()
are the last two functions defined in the fiel and not the first two ones
(so that ESC-> will bring you straight there unless your editor is
"broken")
We do suffer in wireshark from port collissions due to the number of
protocols we support.
So a port number is not really enough for us to identify a protocol.
Can you make dissect_acn() do some heuristics and return FALSE if it
didnt really look like ACN in the first place?
This would reduce the probability for false ACN dissection for those
users that have set an ACN port and forgotten about it.
I.e. make dissect_acn() a new style dissector that can refuse the
packet by returning FALSE and return TRUE meaning : yes this was one
of mine and i did dissect it.
The sharper the heuristic filter is the better.
