Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Unhandled exception

Hi,

Thinking about it a bit more should proto_registrar_get_id_byname() assert on a non valid name? This may be the simplest safe guard.

Regards

Anders

Hi,

Perhaps filter names referenced in other dissectors should be a define in a common .h file to make it obvious that the name must be changed in more than one place. Solving part of the problem.

Then TRANSNUM should check for -1 I suppose and perhaps my trouble shooting patch:

        if (hf_of_interest[i].hf < 0) {

            g_warning("hf %s not found, index %u", hf_of_interest[i].proto_name);

        }

Regards

Anders

Hi,
I think that the problem is that one of these fields has changed name, but debugging the registration phase is hard on Windows as the console is not open...GRR

 

this seems to be the ssl.record.content_type field.

We should check if we can make Transum more robust to this kind of errors in the future.

 

 

* The following are the field ids for the protocol values used by TRANSUM.
    Make sure they line up with ehf_of_interest order */
HF_OF_INTEREST_INFO hf_of_interest[HF_INTEREST_END_OF_LIST] = {
    { -1, "ip.proto" },
    { -1, "ipv6.nxt" },

    { -1, "tcp.analysis.retransmission" },
    { -1, "tcp.analysis.keep_alive" },

Confirmed on the latest master. Enabling transum crashes wireshark.
