In other words, prior to the recent changes if I used BASE_NONE for a field (say, sctp.chunk_type) then if I did "prepare as filter" for that field, I'd get, for example: sctp.chunk_type == "HEARTBEAT" whereas using BASE_DEC would give me: sctp.chunk_type == 4 Now (in trunk and trunk-1.8) dissector writers no longer have that option. I'm not convinced they should; maybe we should always do one or the other (which?).
+1 It could be preference, with default string output. Also I used BASE_NONE in nflog for guessed packet encodning. This value for user is meaningless, and can be not shown: [Encoding: Little Endian (0x80000000)] It's narrow usecase but maybe PDML generation code could fallback to BASE_HEX (or BASE_DEC?, it can be disscussed) when BASE_NONE is requested. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
