A note about PIDL generated files
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Quick guide
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Run 'make -f Makefile.pidl all' inside the pidl folder to generate all the dissectors and place
|
|
them in the epan/dissectors folder.
|
|
|
|
Complete infos
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The following files:
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-atsvc.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-budb.c
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-budb.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-butc.c
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-butc.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-dfs.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-dnsserver.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-drsuapi.c
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-drsuapi.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-dssetup.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-efs.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-eventlog.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-frsrpc.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-frstrans.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-initshutdown.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-lsa.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-mapi.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-misc.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-nspi.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-rfr.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-samr.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-srvsvc.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-winreg.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-wkssvc.h
|
|
../packet-dcerpc-wzcsvc.h
|
|
|
|
are automatically generated via a tool called "pidl"; you shouldn't
|
|
modify them manually.
|
|
|
|
The pidl tool is maintained by the Samba project (http://samba.org,
|
|
samba-technical@samba.org). We have a version in ../../../tools/pidl;
|
|
it currently differs from the Samba version only in its Wireshark-parser
|
|
generator, as we had to change it to reflect some API differences
|
|
between the current Wireshark release and the development trunk.
|
|
|
|
The Samba version can be fetched from their git tree:
|
|
git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git
|
|
|
|
Running pidl
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
You have to run the pidl command inside the pidl folder of the wireshark
|
|
source tree.
|
|
|
|
The command to compile file:
|
|
../../../tools/pidl/pidl --includedir . --ws-parser -- <idl-file>
|
|
^^^
|
|
This is *VERY* important
|
|
The command generates 2 files:
|
|
packet-dcerpc-<interfacename>.h
|
|
packet-dcerpc-<interfacename>.c
|
|
|
|
For instance, with the atsvc.idl, the command will be:
|
|
|
|
../../../tools/pidl/pidl --includedir . --ws-parser -- atsvc.idl
|
|
|
|
This will generate 2 files:
|
|
packet-dcerpc-atsvc.h
|
|
packet-dcerpc-atsvc.c
|
|
|
|
If you run outside the dissectors/pidl directory, this *will* result in a
|
|
warning such as:
|
|
|
|
atsvc.idl:5:23: idl_types.h: No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
and *may* result in additional warnings such as:
|
|
|
|
Warning: No conformance file `initshutdown.cnf'
|
|
Unable to handle string with flags STR_LEN4|STR_NOTERM at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Parse/Pidl/Wireshark/NDR.pm line 283.

|
Notes about the in-tree pidl
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
To allow building Wireshark pidl dissectors without having to
|
|
*explicitly* access a remote git repository, and to allow us to make
|
|
changes to the Wireshark parser generator that the Samba developers
|
|
might not want to make until a new major release of Wireshark comes out,
|
|
so as to allow users to build dissectors to run in the current Wireshark
|
|
release, a copy of pidl is located in tools/pidl.
|
|
|
|
Not compiling idl
|
|
=================
|
|
As of September 26, 2014, the following idl have issues when generating
|
|
and compiling:
|
|
|
|
pidl complains that inline arrays aren't supported for these:
|
|
|
|
dnsserver.idl
|
|
eventlog.idl
|
|
|
|
pidl generates possibly-incorrect code for these - this needs checking:
|
|
|
|
rfr/rfr.idl
|
|
|
|
pidl rejects these with errors:
|
|
|
|
srvsvc.idl
|
|
wkssvc.cnf
|
