Re: smb2.msg_id defined as signed 64-bit integer - bug?

[Paul Offord <Paul.Offord () advance7 com>]

Yeh - sure I accept that.  I raised it because I've written a post-dissector that uses the smb2.msg_id value.  I 
assumed it was a 64-bit unsigned integer and it caused my code to crash.  I tracked it down to an assertion failure due 
to smb2.msg_id being a gint64 and me using fvalue_get_uinteger64() to get the value.

Or look at it the other way.  I'm helping get Wireshark ready for the 22nd century.

As Graham alreay said, sure create a bug or submit a change directly.

However, even at 1 SMB message per microsecond, that is still around
10^43 seconds before we ever see an issue, or around 10^37 days ...
we've got time. (Message IDs start at 1, I believe.)
