See   README.malloc

You can use se_alloc() nd friends.    memory allocated with this function will be automatically released when ethereal has finished with the capture.


You also have ep_alloc() which releases all memory when dissection of that particular packet has completed.

Hi list,  <mailto:ext-henning.treu@xxxxxxxxx> ext-henning.treu@xxxxxxxxx

my dissector allocs some dynamic memory through the dissecting process.
the question is: where do i need to free the memory? i want to use it during the whole dissecting process. afterwards it can be freed. is there a function to clean up after dissecting a whole capture file?

thanks
henning
