Hi,
I wrote a script to try to check the types of hf items passed to proto.h APIs where there is a subset of types that are allowed. i.e. Trying to stop errors such as:
** (process:8243): WARNING **: Dissector bug, protocol IDN, in packet 126: epan/proto.c:11693: field idn.gts_wavelength_prefix is not of type FT_CHAR or an FT_{U}INTn type
** (process:8243): WARNING **: Dissector bug, protocol IDN, in packet 351: epan/proto.c:11693: field idn.gts_beam_brush is not of type FT_CHAR or an FT_{U}INTn type
without needing to encounter that call while dissecting a capture.
I won't have time to look into these properly for a few days - if anyone else does please feel free to check/fix them.

I will clean up the script and see if it should be added to wireshark/tools in a few days.
Best regards,
