When creating and registering a new header field array in a plug-

No. This is C, not PL/I :-), so if you pass an array (which really
means passing a pointer to the first element of the array) to a
function, the function has no idea how big the array actually is.
For example, I created a hf array as follows:
static hf_register_info hf[MAX_FIELDS];
I plan to fill up a certain variable amount of fields (up to
“cur_field”) less than MAX_FIELDS, and then register the first
cur_field amount of values of the array as follows:
proto_register_field_array(proto_shsip, hf, cur_field);
However, I’m getting a run-time error upon trying to click a field
in Wireshark, and I was wondering if this is the problem.
Probably not. What is the run-time error?
