I'm getting the following error while trying to build a plugin for wireshark 3.2.1 on my PC (windows 10)

C:\Users\ravishas\Desktop\wsnew\plugins\epan\expand\packet-expand.c(778,43): warning C4113: 'void (__cdecl *)(tvbuff_t *,packet_info *,proto_tree *)' differs in parameter lists from 'dissector_t' [C:\Development\build_try\plugins\epan\expand\expand.vcxproj]

C:\Users\ravishas\Desktop\wsnew\plugins\epan\expand\packet-expand.c(778,43): warning C4133: 'function': incompatible types - from 'void (__cdecl *)(tvbuff_t *,packet_info *,proto_tree *)' to 'dissector_t' [C:\Development\build_try\plugins\epan\expand\expand.vcxproj]

I have looked into the function and there is an additional " void * " parameter in the dissector_t function. Should that parameter be retained or is there any other workaround?

Thanks in advance

I have looked into the function and there is an additional " void * " parameter in the dissector_t function.

Yes, there is. A dissector is handed, as its last argument, a void *, which is a pointer to private data being passed to the dissector. Most dissectors are just passed a null pointer; what it gets passed depends on what's calling it.

Should that parameter be retained

Yes. It has to be there, even if the dissector ignores it.

But it still gives me the same error. How do I rectify it?
