I think this is a stupid question, but anyway:
Why don't you get directly the length of your packet directly in the
dissect_sle function?
why not doing something like this:
#include <string.h>
#define LENGTH_LECT 10000
...
static int dissect_sle(tvbuff_t *tvb, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree)
{
char buffer[3]="";
int i=0, length =0;
char data[]= NULL;
data = malloc(tvb_length(tvb)*sizeof(char));
/* so we put all the hexadecimal data in a string */
for(i=0; i< (int) tvb_length(tvb); i++)
{
sprintf(buffer,"%02x", tvb_get_guint8(tvb, i));
strcat(data, buffer);
}
/* length is a number of octets
* we compare all the octet to see if we have the
terminating octet */
while (data[2*i]!= ... && data[2*i+1]!=...)
{
length ++;
}
tcp_dissect_pdus(tvb, pinfo, tree, ... length);
free(data);
}
Or we can count the number of end character, and call the
tcp_dissect_pdus each time. Well in fact this work if the end of
character is forbidden in the data, or if we can only find him at the
end of a structure. In the second case, it is a little bit more complex,
but you can create a new tree each time in the dissect_sle_message()
function.
I should have say something stupid, but it seems to me that it can work!

When you use tcp_dissect_pdus, an argument is the length of the data
to be decoded.
Unfortunately, in her case, the length can't be determined except by
scanning the packet for a terminating character:

I am developing a packet dissector plugin for Wireshark. The packets
I am dissecting do not specify their length in their header, but
they are terminated by a special character (and can be a variable
length). Additionally, multiple complete packets of the protocol may
arrive in one tcp segment. I would like to know how to tell
wireshark to divide up these packets. I understand there is a
command called tcp_dissect_pdus(), but I believe it needs the length
specified in the header. Is this correct?
so she can't use tcp_dissect_pdus().
