[PATCH] Preliminary inline arrays support in wireshark.pm

[Julien Kerihuel]

Hi List,

Here is another patch I have applied on my local openchange dissector
trunk to enable support for inline arrays when generating the wireshark
dissector code. This is a PIDL patch only which may need to be turned
into wireshark code in the future if required.

The implementation is currently quite similar to the nodiscriminant one
(previously posted), which means that it may suffer from similar design
flaw. I'm posting the diff from openchange repository since offset are
likely to differ from samba master-git repository ones.

2Flib%2FParse%2FPidl%2FWireshark%2FNDR.pm&rev=20


The overall idea is to:
1. look for arrays element with IS_INLINE property within the
CheckElement routine
2. If found, tag the "inline size" element with some additional
properties
3. Generate additional code where needed to retrieve the inline size and
pass it to the function dissecting the inline array.

Cheers,
Julien.
