Re: Make "giop plugins" built in dissectors?

Hi Jeff,

I've also noticed that with a modern x86-64-based machine (with 3GB of RAM,
and a triple-core AMD Phenom II CPU), and a recent-ish version of GCC
running under *buntu. It certainly seems like a good stress test for any
compiler/OS/machine combination.

With that in mind, just what is packet-parlay.c being used for, anyway?
(And why is it so large?)

Apologies in advance for the stupid questions,

Tyson.

Hi,
It should be possible to make the giop plugins built in dissectors now,
is that something we'd want to do?


I'd be all for it mainly so/if we can put packet-parlay.c at the top of
the list of dissectors so that my "make -j X" can start the 15 minutes it
takes to compile that beast as early as possible!  (Okay, 15 minutes is
probably an exaggeration, but it does take a *very* long time to compile.)


Haha, thought this was funny: today I did a build on Solaris 10/SPARC with
GCC 4.6.3 and, after about 45(!) minutes (yeah, I know, SPARCs aren't
fast), got this when compiling packet-parlay.c:

 epan/dissectors/packet-parlay.**c:96834:17: note: variable tracking size
limit

exceeded with -fvar-tracking-assignments, retrying without

I wonder if modern GCCs will have that problem or if it's just this
version or (doubtful) the architecture.  It would be really nice if this
file could be split up.
