(as recent as 1.3.3) From: Stig Bjørlykke <stig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 02:06:56 +0200I just gave it a quick try on a protocol registering to "udp.port". The first problem occurred in an assert in splash_update, proposed patch attached....Index: gtk/about_dlg.c===================================================================--- gtk/about_dlg.c (revision 28551)+++ gtk/about_dlg.c (working copy)@@ -229,9 +229,10 @@}if(ul_count == 0) /* get the count of dissectors */- ul_count = register_count() + 6; /* additional 6 for:+ ul_count = register_count() + 8; /* additional 8 for:dissectors, listeners,registering plugins, handingoff plugins,+ registering python, handingoff python,preferences and configuration */main_lb = g_object_get_data(G_OBJECT(win), "protocol_label");The fix adds 2 (one for protocol, one for handoff) but in reality you need toadd 2 for _each_ python plugin registered. I'm not sure how to fix things, but the real problem seems to be that the counts are"hard coded" in proto_reg_count, and handoff_reg_count in epan/dissectors/register.c and don't take into account that the python ones are added dynamically.On a related note... Has the Python work been orphaned? I can't find much inthe way of others testing/fixing these basic bugs.
