Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] The ieee802.11 dissector is a steaming pile of ordure

[Richard Sharpe <realrichardsharpe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Take a look at epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c!

Specifically, add_tagged_field.

That function is approximately 2,300 lines long and it consists of one
big switch statement with every arm containing open-coded statements
to add things to the proto tree.

Who does that?
