The "asn1" target rebuilds all asn1 dissectors.
Alternatively to rebuild a specific one, use a target such as "generate_dissector-pkcs1".
Sure, but there seems to be multiple issues.
1. The 'documented' command placed in the generated source does not
generate the same source:
2. make asn1 modifies the source directory, but it seems to me that it
should not do that because that breaks one of the out-of-tree
guarantees that cmake gives you.
Normally that would be true for a generated source file, but in this
case a choice was made to commit the generated ASN.1 source code to VCS
(for efficiency reasons I presume). Therefore the asn1 target is a
special one designed only to update the ASN.1 source tree and commit the
result.
Example:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --target generate_dissector-pkcs1
Or if you use ninja:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja ..
ninja generate_dissector-pkcs1
