Guy Harris 9fcb7601ee Get rid of check for a null "docsis_vsif_handle" - "dissector_add()" should blow up when handed a null pointer on all platforms that map low addresses out of the address space, which is most if not all of them at this point, and calls to "assert()" cause problems if you mix GCC-compiled and Sun-C-compiled code. svn path=/trunk/; revision=8047		2003-07-19 02:11:34 +00:00

When developing a plugin in the Win32 world, it is nessecary
to explicitly export addresses from the main process to the
plugin.  ethereal does have a mechanism for this, and it uses
the file 'plugin_api_list.c' to list declarations for everything
that needs to be exported.

The build process of ethereal needs this list in 5 different forms.

These are generated by a Python script and saved in the X* files
in this directory.

I do not have a real C parser in Python to read the input file...,
so I have used 'gcc -aux-info xyzzy ...' to clean up any formatting
preferences in the input file and create the file named 'xyzzy'
that contains a neatly formatted list of declarations.  This list
can be parsed with a regular expression to extract the required
info.

Use the following procedure when updateing the plugin_api_list.c file:

nmake -f Makefile.nmake xyzzy
nmake -f Makefile.nmake

The 'xyzzy' makefile target is the only target that depends on gcc.
This can be done on a Unix machine or you can use cygwin gcc.
