Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Query on Field Registration

Hello

 

I just wanted to put up one query regarding field registration in packet-xx.c .Is there any limit on the number of fields which we can register?

As I am writing a dissector module for 30+ interfaces and a lot of messages have common fields and so to distinguish them I have to write 4-5 instances for the same

Field which occurs in different messages spread across different interfaces.

 

Awaiting a quick response as this will decide my design.

 

Thanks in advance

Hemant Kumar
