Hi,

So you compiled with 2.1.0(Master I presume) and tried it with 2.0.1 the current released version, that is not guaranteed to work as

We do not guarantee API and ABI compatibility between versions. Try to build with 2.0.1 and then copy the .dll

Best regards

Anders

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Testing the new created .dll

 

Hello,

 

since I have compiled my new functions successfully for 2.1.0, I wanted to test it. On my computer it completely works for win64 and for win32 Wireshark 2.1.0 builds. Now I wanted to test the new Plug-In on the current available user version of Wireshark (2.0.1) on a different computer.

 

Therefore I copied the new created .dll-file into the installed user versions path „wireshark\plugins\...“. (Do I have to copy another file into the user version or is it still just the new created .dll-file for Wireshark 2.x?)

 

It appears that I’m now getting an Error, which crashes the program, while starting Wireshark 2.0.1.

The Error:      “Err Field ‘Value’ (pn_io.profidrive.parameter.value_float) is a FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME but is being displayed as BASE_NONE instead of as a time”

 

First off all, I even didn’t change anything for this variable. Second point is, that in my source code for 2.1.0 the type of this variable is defined as FT_FLOAT with BASE_NONE. So why is he telling me that I am using FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME? To be sure about the problem, I made a comparison between the original source codes of 2.0.1 and 2.1.0 and even there the type is FT_FLOAT with BASE_NONE. Furthermore I searched in the complete Wireshark source code files for this variable and the only file I found, was the file I am editing and where the type is correctly defined. At least I also cleaned the solution and built it again, but still the same problem appears. So I am a little bit confused, where he gets the value FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME for this variable?

 

Can someone help me what’s going on there?

 

Thanks in advance!
