OK, which brings me back to the topic that we should have as few autogenerated
dissectors in our source tree as possible. I don't think the additional compile
time qualifies as a counter argument, and phython is required to build Wireshark
as well.

So why keep doing that? If it's OK, I'd like to do a PoC patch for asn1.

For those instances where we want to keep the generated dissectors in the source
tree: Is there a way to prevent accidental changes (i.e. opening the file not at
the top but at a given line or automated search/replace scripts? Does setting these
files to read only look like a possible solution?

No problem - I was just testing the new old cmake asn1 generation and it
gave me the opportunity to once again start this discussion ;-)

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
