Hi, I'm trying to write a simple program with the wiretap API just to test how it works, but I'm struggling with the function wtap_open_offline. Here is what the code looks like:
#include <glib.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>
#include <wireshark/wiretap/wtap.h>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (argc < 2) {
fprintf(stderr,
"Dump filename missing!\n\n"
"Usage: %s dump_filename\n\n", (const char*) argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
cout << "Test wiretap drop_count: " << argv[1] << endl;
int err = 0;
gchar* err_info = NULL;
wtap* wth = wtap_open_offline(argv[1], WTAP_TYPE_AUTO, &err,
&err_info, FALSE);
if (err != 0) {
printf("Error: %d, %s", err, err_info);
exit(1);
}
assert(wth);
wtap_close(wth);
return 0;
}
As far as I was able to understand the documentation comments, it takes
a file name, a type which is only defined for AUTO, two error pointers
and a boolean value. But when I try to run the code, it fails with SIGSEGV.
$ gdb reproducer
(gdb) run ../dump.pcapng
...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) bt

#2 0x0000000000400be0 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe4c8) at
../main.cpp:21
Any ideas what goes wrong here? It fails on a function call, that takes
a predefined value, that I cannot influence.
