Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Custom dissector causing wireshark to crash

You are using BASE_NONE for integers.  This isn't allowed.  Ref: doc/README.developer.
 
BTW, any reason why one of your display filters is called "mac.priority" and not "abc.priority"?

I fixed the change you mentioned and am still failing at the same proto_register_field_array call.


        static hf_register_info hf[] = {

	should be
	

	         { &hf_abc_txPower,
	             { "txPower", "abc.txPower",
	
	             FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC, NULL, 0x0,
	             "Transmit power for message in dBm", HFILL }
	         },
	
	Stepping through the code (eg: proto_register-field_array) is the way to
	find bugs like this.
