[Spice-devel] [PATCH v4 03/41] dissector: Add new_ett function to be able to create new trees

[Frediano Ziglio]

Use an array to declare tree items instead of allocating it statically.
This save a bit of memory and it also generates smaller code to read.
A tree in wireshark represents an item which could be expanded.
Possibly wireshark is using these registrations to save expansion
state in the user interface.
