Thanks for your reply. Regarding the last comment, just to double check
since I am not very experienced on this... it would be like:

 channel_tree = proto_tree_add_subtree_format(rtps_parameter_tree, tvb,
off, 0,
           ett_rtps_locator_filter_channel, NULL, "Channel[%u]", ch);

True?

  You are correct.  proto_tree_add_subtree is for no printf-style
arguments, proto_tree_add_subtree_format is for when you need printf-style
arguments for your subtree.

One thing to check (if you're compiler doesn't do it for you because
somebody's will) is that you may no longer need the proto_item* passed into
proto_tree_add_subtree[_format].

Many dissectors had
ti = proto_tree_add_text(....)
subtree = proto_item_add_subtree(ti, ett)

and never referenced ti again.  So when that's converted to
proto_tree_add_subtree, you can just pass NULL in for the proto_item*
parameter.

 Hi all,

 I need to remove the proto_tree_add_text calls, and I wanted to know if
this is equivalent:

 Before:

          ti_channel = proto_tree_add_text(rtps_parameter_tree, tvb, off,
0, "Channel[%u]", ch);
        channel_tree = proto_item_add_subtree(ti_channel,
ett_rtps_locator_filter_channel);

 Now:
         channel_tree =
proto_tree_add_subtree_format(rtps_parameter_tree, tvb, off, 0,
           ett_rtps_locator_filter_channel, &ti_channel, "Channel[%u]",
ch);


 Thanks!
Juanjo
