Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] RFD: Creating subdirectories in epan/dissectors/

[Joerg Mayer <jmayer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello List,

a discussion hidden in the bugtracker (id=7639) reminded me of something
I have wanted to ask for a while:
We have an (almost) flat structure in epan/dissectors/ and do additional
structuring via file names instead, e.g. look at
packet-xmpp-conference.c
packet-xmpp-conference.h
packet-xmpp-core.c
packet-xmpp-core.h
packet-xmpp-gtalk.c
packet-xmpp-gtalk.h
packet-xmpp-jingle.c
packet-xmpp-jingle.h
packet-xmpp-other.c
packet-xmpp-other.h
packet-xmpp-utils.c
packet-xmpp-utils.h
packet-xmpp.c
packet-xmpp.h

other examples are packet-dcercp*, packet-aim*, packet-gsm_*, packet-bt*
and several more.
What I'd like to do is put these dissectors that belong *to a single protocol*
into a subdirectory of that name, i.e. move them to

xmpp/packet-conference.c
xmpp/packet-conference.h
xmpp/packet-core.c
xmpp/packet-core.h
xmpp/packet-gtalk.c
xmpp/packet-gtalk.h
xmpp/packet-jingle.c
xmpp/packet-jingle.h
xmpp/packet-other.c
xmpp/packet-other.h
xmpp/packet-utils.c
xmpp/packet-utils.h
xmpp/packet-xmpp.c    <- special case, main protocol name
xmpp/packet-xmpp.h    <- special case, main protocol name

What do you think?

Ciao
       Jörg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
