Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Some apparent type bugs

Hi Anders,

This code in packet-pfcp.c, line 7482 looks wrong to me

    /* Octet 5 to 20   NF Instance ID */
    proto_tree_add_item_ret_uint(tree, hf_pfcp_nf_instance_id, tvb, offset, 1, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN, &id_length);

Isn’t this supposed to be

    /* Octet 5 to 20   NF Instance ID */
    proto_tree_add_item(tree, hf_pfcp_nf_instance_id, tvb, offset, id_length, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
    offset += id_length;

Thanks,
Jaap
