Hi,
I would like to be able to show, for the generated dissectors, the version of the protocol. For 3GPP protocols, in theory they are backwards-compatible, but not at this point in the NR(5G) standards.
So for the 3GPP .asn files, the first line might be e.g.
-- 3GPP TS 38.331 V15.3.0 (2018-09)
I would really like to be able to teach asn2wrs.py to try to find a suitable such comment and add this text as a generated field inside each external dissector.
So I am thinking of:
- looking at the first few lines of each .asn file that gets included and trying to find a suitably formatted version string
- if one is found, in the template file, add the version protocol item
- for each entry listed under the EXPORTS(?) or PDU(?) sections, add into the template file a version field with the chosen string constant.
Does this sound reasonable?
Martin
