Hello, I plan to do some cleanups to - somewhat improve the readability of the code 1) Get rid of reduntant author entries and code comments, see https://code.wireshark.org/review/16154 2) Get rid of those fixed field functions that only add one of two items. Call the remaining functions directly (without the indirection of add_fixed_field()). - make the use of filters more straight forward: We currently register the following top level filters within the file: wlan_aggregate wlan wlan_mgt wlan_rsna_eapol I'd like to merge at least wlan_mgt into wlan. I don't see the gain in the separation and it definitely confuses me: a) wlan_mgt is not only managemnt frames but also control frames while data frames are just wlan. b) The addresses inside wlan_mgt frames are addressed via wlan.xxx Let me know what you think about these things. Thanks Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
