Hi,
When using GUIManager for the main menu bar, it blows up loading a file.
Could some one take a look
and help me figure out what's wrong? The recent file stuff is also
broken - probably related.
It's bailing out here:
ERROR:column-utils.c:1175:col_set_cls_time: code should not be reached
That means timestamp_set_type() has not been called.
When we're not using GUIManager, that function is called (during
startup) in timestamp_format_cb().
That function is not called during startup when using GUIManager...
Hmmm, actually it's not being called at all.
It's called in:
change_configuration_profile() (after reading the "recent" file, it's set to the value from that file)
main(), if "-t" is specified;
reftime_answered_cb() (if you answer "yes" to "Do you want to switch to "Seconds Since Beginning of Capture" now?")
timestamp_format_cb() (when you explicitly set it through the GUI)
change_configuration_profile() is called only in profile_select() and select_profile_cb(), when you choose a
profile.
The reason why it doesn't start out as TS_RELATIVE in Wireshark is, to quote the comment:
so that "recent" in gtk/menu.c can detect this and distinguish it from a command line value
That refers to menu_recent_read_finished(), which sets recent.gui_time_format to the current time stamp value if >it's not TS_NOT_SET, i.e., if it was set on the command line, that setting overrides whatever is in the recent
file.
Is there some reason not to read the recent file *before* parsing the command-line arguments, so that we can
just have the time stamp format initialized to TS_RELATIVE, override it from the recent file, and then possibly >override *that* from the command line?
I have checked in some changes to menus.c, - earlier read of prefs is still a good idea -
It still crashes, but I don't get a decent indication of where - help?
Try 34310. It looks like you fixed the timestamp issue--can load a
capture file now. :-)
(You should get a Linux VM or something--gdb and backtraces are your
friend!)
