Hi Pascal,
Thank You for fast response and clear comments.
Would it make sense to implement extra dissect_per_semi_constrained_integer?
I can try to implement dissect_per_semi_constrained_integer (tvbuff_t *tvb,
guint32 offset, asn1_ctx_t *actx, proto_tree *tree, int hf_index, guint32
min, guint32 max, guint32 *value, gboolean has_extension, gboolean
lb_infinite).
Extra parameter will allow us to distinguish both cases where either
min(lb_infinite=TRUE) or max(lb_infinite=FALSE) is set to NO_BOUND?
I can do the same for 64b version.
Afterwards I will need to update asn2wrs accordingly to have this issue
fixed.
This will not sort out the case of direct callers to
dissect_per_constrained_integer.
What do You think?
Best Regards,
Pavel

Correct, semi-constrained integer does not seem to be managed properly.
This matches the comment found in line 1283.

IMHO you can't without changing the API. Maybe we would need to extra
booleans indicating whether the min and / or max values are bounded or not,
and adapt asn2wrs generator accordingly. This way we could drop the NO_BOUND
define
Note that this sounds like a non trivial project because:
- as indicated in the comments, dissect_per_constrained_integer only handle
32 bits integers and dissect_per_constrained_integer_64b only handles 64
bits integers, so both needs to be adapted
- MIN or MAX parameters do not seem properly handled in other types also,
and any change done in dissect_per_constrained_integer(_64b) needs to be
reflected in the caller functions and any other making use of NO_BOUND
