What do you mean? get_hostname is already part of the wireshark API
(addr_resolv) and is used in many dissectors. Should I use another function?

The roofnet length is restricted to 400 bytes (maybe 200 in a near
future). I then control whetherr the length of the announced number of
links is greater than this max length (400). If it's the case I print an
error in the tree, add an expert info value and stop the dissection of
the packet. Is it sufficient?

I'm ok with that (and it's done) but do you know there are around 4100
structures initialized like that only in the dissectors part? :-/

Did you mean stdio, stdlib ? If not, give me a hint 'cause I don't see ...
