Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Support for ASN.1 ECN in asn2wrs

Hi,

there is not plan to do it now.

The 1st step should be to define ECN in Wireshark C code somehow.
When we have it prepared then the asn2wrs can generate code for it.

My raw idea is:
- new packet-ecn.c similar to packet-per.c and packet-ber.c will be
introduced
- define new interface (set of functions) between packet-ecn.c and
concrete ECN implementation
- the packet-ecn.c will call user defined ECN implementation saved in
asn1_ctx during decoding

The code using ECN could look like:

static asn1_ecn_impl_t my_impl = {
  my_decode_integer,
  my_decode_boolean,
  ...
}

asn1_ctx_init(&asn1_ctx, ASN1_ENC_ECN, TRUE, pinfo);
asn1_ctx_set_ecn(&asn1_ctx, &my_impl)
dissect_my_Pdu(tvb, offset, &asn1_ctx, ...


Best regards,
  Tomas
