ASN.1 decoding problems with H.323

[Bruce Fitzsimons]

Hi Bertil, thanks for the reply

Your example is fine. Thanks for the effort, I should have done the same in
my original email.

My version seems to encode okay, but the decode (using your values) fails in
the same way as documented in my previous mail:

(gk@REDACTED)5>
asn1rt:decode('H323-MESSAGES','GatekeeperRequest',[8,43,102,2,42,3,0,17,13,1
9,20,21,179,1,0,1,6,0,3,69,103,137,171,193,32]).
{error,{function_clause,[{asn1rt_per_v1,getbit1,[{0,[]}]},
                         {asn1rt_per_v1,getbits,3},
                         {asn1rt_per_v1,chars_decode2,5},
                         {'H323-MESSAGES',dec_AliasAddress,2},
                         {'H323-MESSAGES',
                             dec_GatekeeperRequest_endpointAlias_components,
                             4},
                         {'H323-MESSAGES',dec_GatekeeperRequest,2},
                         {asn1rt,decode,3},
                         {erl_eval,expr,3}|
                         more]}}

So it seems the original R7B-2 decoder had some problems, and I'm going to
stop spelunking the code as its already been fixed :-)

Great. More speed would be nice :-)

Thanks again for your response Bertil, at least I know that it can work - I
will be waiting anxiously for the next release.

Cheers,
