If i define the  variable in the wireshark directory and i use it in the /wiretap and  /epan/dissectors whether or not should i use the  WS_DLL_PUBLIC macro,and by the way i use the wireshark 1.6.5 edition,then what should i do.

If you use Wireshark 1.6.5 source code, you must declare your structure as WS_VAR_IMPORT instead of extern, and add it to wtap.def file. Something like:
WS_VAR_IMPORT performance* performance_test;

and in wtap.def:

performance_test DATA

You can look at other examples of the use of WS_VAR_IMPORT in the source code.

Hi,

Assuming you work on the master branch (Wireshark 1.11.X), if you want to use in libwireshark a variable defined in libwiretap, you should export the symbol with the WS_DLL_PUBLIC macro instead of using extern. Do not forget to include ws_symbol_export.h file also.
You can search in the code for examples of the use of this macro.
