Should not require, I'm now dealing with all the fails.

Yes, MSVC 2015 is too old to compile the msgpuck library. Is this a critical issue?
I can make support for the tarantool protocol as a feature and link to msgpuck, but this library is not widely distributed across Linux distributions and other operating systems. That's why I wanted to include the library in tcpdump

Can you explain what the problems are with this version?

Unfortunately, I don't have an operating system where I can debug a build with MSVC. I need more time to understand what the problem is in the blind.

(Because MSVC 2015 is able to build tcpdump since 2018.)

Are you sure?

Or another library?

Apparently the library is already quite well distributed, I will remake the PR to an external dependency.

Though I don’t really understand how to be then with CI and a new dependency. All tests will definitely fail.

There can be conditional tests. See e.g. tests/crypto.tests.

Fixed. Added base64 encoding of binary data to the msgpuck library.

Fixed. The msgpuck library contained a bug in the code that caused it to fail to build on MSVC.

@fxlb, Is there anything else I need to fix?

I don't see the update. Do you have pushed it?

Another important point:
Your code give many problems like SEGV, heap-buffer-overflow, heap-use-after-free, etc. when fuzzing.
One of the reasons is that you don't use GET_*() or ND_TCHECK_*() macros.
See CONTRIBUTING.md, particularly part "Code style and generic remarks" items 5. and 6.

Thanks for the answer. I had to leave the built-in version of msgpuck since upstream prints binary data as is. In the built-in version, I fixed it:

// Fixed. Added base64 encoding of binary data to the msgpuck library.

With regards to the rest - proceeded to correct.

It's not the goal of tcpdump to add/maintain the source code of an external library.
Thus in this PR msgpuck.c, msgpuck.h and msgpuck_hints.c should be removed.

For libmsgpuck-dev, it's like libsmi2-dev in tcpdump. we need to link to it and use it if the configure/cmake finds it.

The Tarantool dissector will be present if libmsgpuck-dev will be found on the system where the build is being done.

Understood. I will remove msgpuck from the tcpdump source code and provide a workaround to print binary data.

Hello, pull request updated:

• msgpuck is added as an external dependency.
• Added validation of the iproto protocol. The check from the library is used. mp_check_* functions.
• Added correct handling of multiple iproto messages within one packet.
• Added a test to check the correctness of parsing truncated packets.

Something wrong with linux-amd64 test workflow. It fails with Timed out error.
@fxlb can you tell me if this is a PR or CI problem?

Update: problem with CI is gone.
