Anders,

I've tried the functions (with new prototypes) in the FP dissector,
and made the changes indicated in the attached patch.

I didn't want to commit it as you may not want to change it in this
way, also I've only looked at the 1 and 2 byte length cases.

In my patch, I shift the mask8/mask16 and the raw value immediately to
occupy the lsb and and them to the final value there.  This seems
simpler to me than working out a more complicated mask (which is where
the bug was) then shifting the resulting value to occupy the lsb to
get the final result.

Does this seem sane to you?
Best regards,
Martin

Hi,
I'm looking inot spliting it into:

value. */
extern proto_item *
proto_tree_add_bits(proto_tree *tree, int hf_index, tvbuff_t *tvb, gint
bit_offset, gint no_of_bits, gboolean little_endian);

/* Calls tvb_get bits */
extern proto_item *
proto_tree_add_bits_ret_val(proto_tree *tree, int hf_index, tvbuff_t *tvb,
gint bit_offset, gint no_of_bits, guint32 *return_value, gboolean
little_endian);


guint32
tvb_get_bits(tvbuff_t *tvb, gint bit_offset, gint no_of_bits, gboolean
little_endian)

(Should it handle 64bits?)

If that's a more acceptable format. It would be good if we could agree on a
format and get down to the nitty gritti of fixing up the functions.

Best regards
Anders

I've had a play with this function, I like it - it can improve and
simplify parts of packet-umts_fp.c which are bit-oriented, like E-DCH
data.  Having the function spit out the return value is helpful here,
as this will avoid the dissector doing the equivalent shiting and
masking work for a second time.

Having said that, although it shows the correct bytes for me, it is
computing the wrong value at the moment.  For example, I selected 6
bits, offset 4 bytes into the bytes 0x4917.  It shows the correct
bits, i.e.    .... 100101.. .... but computes the value to be 101,
i.e. the bits 1100101.  So it looks like maybe the masking is out by 1
bit - I'll look at it tomorrow if no-one else does first.

Best regards,
Martin
