Currently, no - at least not on Windows.
You would have to export "dcerpc_init_uuid()" to plugins by adding
entries for it to the lists of plugin functions in:
"init_plugins()" in "epan/plugins.c";
"plugin_address_table_init()" in "plugins/plugin_api.c";
"plugins/plugin_api.h";
"plugins/plugin_api_decls.h"
"plugins/plugin_table.h".
You would also have to export any of the utility routines from, say,
"packet-dcerpc.c" that aren't already exported and that your dissector
would use, in the same fashion.
That might require adding some additional #includes to "epan/plugins.c"
in the
#ifdef PLUGINS_NEED_ADDRESS_TABLE
...
#endif
section of #includes, and add them to "plugins/plugin_api.h" as well.
Once that's done, a DCE RPC dissector could be a plugin dissector
(assuming it doesn't use *other* non-exported routines, in which case
you'd have to export them as well).
