Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Hi. regarding 'visited' bit

[Ari Yoskovitz <ariyosko@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

I am using the pinfo->fd->flags.visited bit in my dissector.
I have discovered (after a lot of debugging...) the sometimes this bit is asserted even on the first run, namely when the packet was not visited...
It happens very rarely, but when it does the results are destructive.

Am I missing anything? Is this a bug?

Thanks.

BTW It looks to me that this bit has to be manually set to 1 when the packet is being visited for the first time. Again, am I wrong here? Thanks.
