Hello

After having spent a few hours in prototyping my custom protocol dissector with LUA, I decided to switch to C (Win10 x64 / VS2015 / 2.9.0rc of WS)

We already have a code base in some othre projects consuming that same protocol, but it is written in C++. Is it possible to use C++ to write a dissector plugin or am I stuck to C?

Thanks

Christophe

Yes. None of the core Wireshark plugins use C++, but WSGD does.

Note that Wireshark 2.9.x (and the up-coming 3.0) are built with VS2017. VS2015 should be OK, but it isn't tested.
