Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] ip6_to_str equivalent/alternative with variablelength for ipv6 address

["Anders Broman" <a.broman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Wouldn't it be more efficient to first add the family item to the tree  and
then depending of the address type add
The IP address item.

Oct = tvb_get_guint8(tvb,offset);
proto_tree_add_item(..,hf_x_afamily,..)
switch(oct){
 case IPV4:
   proto_tree_add_item(..,hf_x_ipv4_addr,..)
  
case IPV6:
   proto_tree_add_item(..,hf_x_ipv6_addr,..)
default:
   proto_tree_add_text(..,"Unknown",..);
}

variablelength for ipv6 address

Thanks for the tip.

I was able to make it work, and did not notice any problems. But along the
way, I encountered some memory errors during exit of wireshark.

please recommend if I get the thing right?
My UI tests shows its already okay, im not sure if this is efficient.

Thanks,

--------

addr = tvb_get_ptr(tvb, cur_offset, afdpart_len);

addr_copy = se_alloc0((afamily == 0x02) ? 16 : 4);

tvb_memcpy(tvb, (guint8 *)addr_copy, cur_offset, afdpart_len);

proto_tree_add_text(rr_tree, tvb, cur_offset, afdpart_len, " %s address:
%s", val_to_str(afamily, apl_afamily_vals, "Unknown"), 
 (afamily == 0x02) ? ip6_to_str((const struct e_in6_addr *)addr_copy)
		   : ip_to_str(addr_copy) );
