Hi,

I work on the file packet-ieee80211.c and I found that some header field (tag_interpretation, cf_version ...) will not begin by hf_
There is a historic reason ?
Yes, the historic reason being that it slipped trough ;-)
There is a lot of stuff that should be fixed like misuse of tvb_get_ptr hf naming etc.
Any effort to clean it up would be appreciated.
I think the hf variables should be prefixed with hf_ieee80211 to follow the style of other
dissectors, unfortunately that's a bit long, hf_80211, hf_wifi?
if hf_ieee80211 is used throughout it's ease to shorten it later.
If you decide to clean it up a set of smaller patches is probably better than a huge one.
Best regards
Anders

Because if I'm not mistaken, The checkhf.pl <http://checkhf.pl> file only verifiedheader fields starting with hf_?

Regards,
