Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] New experimental feature: GTK2 based packet list (svn rev 28892)

[Stephen Fisher <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have commited, as svn revision 28892, an experimental new packet list 
using a GTK2 tree view instead of the GTK1 based CList.  I discussed 
this with a few of the core team members and others at Sharkfest09.  To 
use it, define NEW_PACKET_LIST when compiling all of the files.  I've 
gone crazy with #ifdef/#ifndef blocks in many filess so far, but these 
can come out as the new packet list implements more of the standard 
features.

To try it out with gcc, set the environment variable CPPFLAGS to 
"-DNEW_PACKET_LIST" and re-run the configure script and then make.  I'm 
not sure off the top of my head how to do this on Windows, but it should 
work there too.

Feel free to ask me questions about how it is implemented so far and to 
contribute to it :)

Note: The sorting by clicking on column titles is currently only 
alphabetical using strcmp().
