Config tree might looks like: -TCP dissectors [X] |- 23: Telnet [X] |- 25: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol [X] |- 110: Post Office Protocol [X] |- 9418: Git Smart Protocol [ ] |- .... | - SSL dissectors [X] |- 465: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol [X] |- 995: Post Office Protocol [X] |- ... - UDP dissectors [ ] - ... Perhaps the menu Internal->dissector tables could be used for something like that.
Yeah initial version might use it, but it won't solve all problems, for example: pop3s should force (at least compiling) of pop3 dissector. It'd work with #ifdef-ing whole file (which I think is the most portable way of implementing it) with: #if defined(CONFIG_POP3) || defined(CONFIG_POP3_SSL) But I think it's good idea to show user that this dissector is forced by another dependency (in menuconfig it's shown as -*-), and in future it'll be required to don't compile empty files. Another problem is with generating register.c, cause dissector files are not preprocessered (or they are?). ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
