Michal Privoznik 0bfdb9cb24 wireshark: s/ep_alloc/wmem_alloc/
In wireshark, they have introduced their own memory allocator
wmem. This means that we need to adapt our code to that change
too. Notably 0ad15f88ccf434e8210ca is the wireshark commit you
want to look at. It's the one where they dropped the old API. The
new allocator has been introduced in 84cc3daa (v1.10.0), however,
was not exposed until 5c05c9e0 (v1.10.0). Since we already are
requiring 1.11.3 or higher no other change is needed.

About

This is the project of Google Summer of Code 2013 accepted by QEMU.org and libvirt community. The goal of this project is, provide Wireshark dissector for Libvirt RPC protocol. It will provide Libvirt packet overview/detail analysing in Wireshark. Furthermore, it will be able to build(generated) from RPC protocol definition placed in Libvirt source tree to support latest protocol specification.

See also:

Installation

Run ./configure with --with-wireshark-dissector option enabled. Then dissector will compiled with libvirt itself.

Add/Remove protocol from dissector's support

Modify variable WS_DISSECTOR_PROTO_FILES in tools/wireshark/src/Makefile.am.

Changing installation directory

You can change installation directory of pluggable shared object(libvirt.so) by specifying --with-ws-plugindir=.

You can install libvirt.so into your local wireshark plugin directory:

./configure --with-wireshark-dissector \
    --with-ws-plugindir=$HOME/.wireshark/plugins
