Oh yeah.  Need to make that RE even more unreadable :)

It is likely that there are 'allowed' entries wrong or missing.  The script defines this collection of checks, then runs them all over each dissector file.  I was surprised not to find more issues than I did.

# These are all of the APIs in proto.c that check a set of types at runtime. 'is not of type'
apiChecks = []
apiChecks.append(APICheck('proto_tree_add_item_ret_uint', { 'FT_CHAR', 'FT_UINT8', 'FT_UINT16', 'FT_UINT24', 'FT_UINT32'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('ptvcursor_add_ret_uint', { 'FT_CHAR', 'FT_UINT8', 'FT_UINT16', 'FT_UINT24', 'FT_UINT32'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('ptvcursor_add_ret_int', { 'FT_INT8', 'FT_INT16', 'FT_INT24', 'FT_INT32'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('ptvcursor_add_ret_string', { 'FT_STRING', 'FT_STRINGZ', 'FT_UINT_STRING', 'FT_STRINGZPAD'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('ptvcursor_add_ret_boolean', { 'FT_BOOLEAN'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('proto_tree_add_item_ret_uint64', { 'FT_UINT40', 'FT_UINT48', 'FT_UINT56', 'FT_UINT64'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('proto_tree_add_item_ret_int64', { 'FT_INT40', 'FT_INT48', 'FT_INT56', 'FT_INT64'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('proto_tree_add_item_ret_boolean', { 'FT_BOOLEAN'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('proto_tree_add_item_ret_string_and_length', { 'FT_STRING', 'FT_STRINGZ', 'FT_UINT_STRING', 'FT_STRINGZPAD'}))
apiChecks.append(APICheck('proto_tree_add_item_ret_display_string_and_length', { 'FT_STRING', 'FT_STRINGZ', 'FT_UINT_STRING',
'FT_STRINGZPAD', 'FT_BYTES', 'FT_UINT_BYTES'}))

apiChecks.append(APICheck('proto_tree_add_uint_format_value', { 'FT_CHAR', 'FT_UINT8', 'FT_UINT16', 'FT_UINT24', 'FT_UINT32', 'FT_FRAMENUM'}))

Hi,

This is the script tripped up by inserted comments I’m afraid.

Thanks,
