Hi,

It is a re-post. Can you consider it, please?

Thx,

Sebastien

Hi,

   here is a patch which adds the support to ptvcursor to create one
level of subtree which helps to reduce/simplify the code written with ptvcursor.

- instead of writing :

gint current_offset;
current_offset = ptvcursor_current_offset(cursor);

subtree = proto_item_add_subtree(it, ett_sub);
ptvcursor_new(subtree, ptvcursor_tvb(cursor),  current_offset); 
...
ptvcursor_free(cursor);


* or *

proto_tree * initial_tree = proto_tree(cursor);
subtree = proto_item_add_subtree(it, ett_sub);
ptvcursor_set_tree(cursor, subtree);
...
ptvcursor_set_tree(initial_tree);


- you may write now :

ptvcursor_push_subtree(cursor, it, ett_sub);
...
ptvcursor_pop_subtree(cursor);



As it is only a one level of push/pop, I also add a function
ptvcursor_set_subtree(cursor, it, ett_sub) which only sets the subtree
without saving the old one. it is useful only in this kind to reach a
fake second level of subtree ... should no more exists with multi-level
support.


With this simple feature, I don't have the need for a piece of the old
code shown above in the plugin for Homeplug.

it is possible to extend it to support multiple level of subtrees but
remains the question of fixed-length table or a dynamic one?
