Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Undissected packet bytes

That's a possibility (I have to take a look at the dissectors you both mentioned, and I didn't it yet), but what I was looking for was a more general way to do that. If the dissector itself has to make this checks, it means that all dissectors code must be patched. If we find a way to do that after the dissector has finished, we could have a way to automatically find incomplete disssectors.

I use expert info about undecoded thing in Bluetooth dissectors.

In proto.h:
/** The data is undecoded, the protocol dissection is incomplete here,
usually PI_WARN severity */
#define PI_UNDECODED            0x05000000

But I use it with PI_NOTE, because I treat PI_WARN more like a "bug"
rather than incomplete dissections.
