Hi,
I have checked in the changes with some modifications, please check the
result as I had to apply the changes manually
as some of them were in the source tree already.
Best regards

Hi,
 
I just tried it with several traces I have. First, great job, the decoding
looks really nice already! 
 
Here are my results:
1- All tests
    1.1- In colinfo, the message type is not indicated (begin, continue,
end, ...). This would be nice.
    1.2- ITU/ANSI auto-detection works nicely. Still have to set the
standard in MTP3 preferences.
2- TCAP ITU - Camel
    Works nicely.
3- TCAP ANSI
    3.1 An ANSI MAP trace doesn't display a MAP tree on the GUI. MAP
protocol goes directly in the component portion. I don't know if this is
intended, but it's a little bit disturbing given that Ethereal always create
a tree for a protocol layer. An ITU MAP works OK. 
        -> see tcap_1.jpg
4- TCAP ITU - unknown upper protocol
    This time, no upper protocol is triggered. So TCAP dissector is on its
own.
    4.1- For a Camel trace (Camel dissector de-activated), I get BER errors
and nothing is decoded. The expected behavior would be to have parameter
types, length and value displayed (previous TCAP dissector was doing that)
        components:
            Item: invoke (1)
                invoke
                    invokeID: 1
                    BER Error: This field lies beyond the end of the known
sequence definition.
                    BER Error: This field lies beyond the end of the known
sequence definition.
            Item: invoke (1)
                invoke
                    invokeID: 2
                    BER Error: This field lies beyond the end of the known
sequence definition.
 
I can provide the captures with a direct email.
 
Regards,
Olivier.

Hi,
I have checked in the new asn2eth generated TCAP dissector please try it
out.
Best regards
