I was looking at the Developer's Guide today in section 9.4.2. 
"How to reassemble split TCP Packets" and I

but I wanted to check with others to make sure 
it's not my error.

The section is here:  http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html/#TcpDissectPdus
The correction I think may be needed is to add another include to the code.  
Specifically, unless I add "#include <epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.h>"
to the list of includes in the sample code, the compiler complains
that it doesn't know anything about tcp_dissect_pdus().  


Correct: I've made the change.

Also, I've been doing a lot of fiddling with ASN.1 code lately and think 
it would be nice to add a section on ASN.1-based dissectors to the
developer's guide, since the only information I've found
so far is the asn2wsr wiki developer pages, and even that 
leave a lot unstated.  I think I could make a start at writing that.
Should that be submitted in the form of a patch?


A patch would be great...

Thanks
