Generating asn1c code
---------------------

The upstream fork maintained by a big contributor
[mouse07410](https://github.com/mouse07410/asn1c) of asn1c is used to generate
TCAP code from from ASN.1 files present in src/sbcap/asn1/.

In order to regenerate the code, one shall adjust the ASN1C_SKELETON_PATH and
ASN1C_BIN_PATH in configure.ac to point to the built & installed asn1c from
mouse07410 (usually `vlm_master` branch). Last generated code was built using
commit hash 2c065550a5a0d08636cad64f4b067c1dcba2f339.

Then, do the usual `autoreconf -fi && ./configure`, using a buildir != srcdir
(important, in order to avoid ending up with temporary files in srcdir and
making it difficult to stash the relevant changes).

Finally, run `make -C src/ regen`, which will regenerate the files and copy over
the skeletons, with git possibly showing changes in the following paths:
- include/osmocom/tcap/
- src/gen/
- src/skel/
