Add a new dissector table "chdlctype", for Cisco HDLC packet types

Have a "chdlctype()" routine, similar to "ethertype()", used both by the

if there is no protocol index for it).
This is for future use in a number of places.
(Arguably, "proto_register_protocol()" should take a dissector pointer
as an argument, but
1) it'd have to handle both regular and heuristic dissectors;
2) making it take either a "dissector_t" or a union of that and
a "heur_dissector_t" introduces some painful header-file

so I'm punting on that for now. As with other Ethereal internal APIs,
these APIs are subject to change in the future, at least until Ethereal

Make some dissectors set the Protocol column and clear the Info column
before fetching anything from the tvbuff they were handed, so that if
the frame is short or malformed, it'll be marked as being the right

the previous protocol.

replace the existing checksummer with a modified version of the BSD

indicate that a packet is the first fragment of a fragmented datagram,
so that the checksummers won't try to checksum those.
(It doesn't seem to add a lot of CPU overhead, so we don't introduce a
flag to disable it, yet. Further checks may be necessary to see whether
the overhead is just swamped by other overheads when scanning through a
capture dissecting all frames, or if it truly is negligible.)

doesn't just seem to be a profiling artifact) that, at least on FreeBSD
3.4, it's significantly more efficient to clear out a column by stuffing
a '\0' into the first byte of the column data than to do so by copying a
null string (I guess when copying one byte, the fixed overhead of the
procedure call and of "strcpy()" is significant).
Have the TCP dissector set the Protocol column, and clear the Info
column, before doing anything that might cause an exception to be
thrown, so that if we *do* get an exception thrown, the frame at least
shows up as TCP.
Instead of, in the TCP dissector, constructing a string and then
stuffing it into the Info column, just append to the Info column, which
avoids one string copy.
Pass a "frame_data" pointer to dissectors for TCP and IP (and PPP)
options, so they can use it to append to the Info column.

can be put, and a pointer to the string for the column, which might or
might not point to that buffer.
Add a routine "col_set_str()", which sets the string for the column to
the string passed to it as an argument; it should only be handed a
static string (a string constant would be ideal). It doesn't do any
copying, so it's faster than "col_add_str()".
Make the routines that append to columns check whether the pointer to
the string for the column points to the buffer for the column and, if
not, copy the string for the column to the buffer for the column so that
you can append to it (so you can use "col_set_str()" and then use
"col_append_str()" or "col_append_fstr()").
Convert a bunch of "col_add_str()" calls that take a string constant as
an argument to "col_set_str()" calls.
Convert some "col_add_fstr()" calls that take a string constant as the
only argument - i.e., the format string doesn't have any "%" slots into
which to put strings for subsequent arguments to "col_set_str()" calls
(those calls are just like "col_add_str()" calls).

ESIS dissectors.
Register the IP dissector and have dissectors that call it directly
(rather than through a port table) call it through a handle.
Add a routine "tvb_set_reported_length()" which a dissector can use if
it was handed a tvbuff that contains more data than is actually in its
part of the packet - for example, handing a padded Ethernet frame to IP;
the routine sets the reported length of the tvbuff (and also adjusts the
actual length, as appropriate). Then use it in IP.
Given that, "ethertype()" can determine how much of the Ethernet frame
was actually part of an IP datagram (and can do the same for other
protocols under Ethernet that use "tvb_set_reported_length()"; have it
return the actual length, and have "dissect_eth()" and "dissect_vlan()"
use that to mark trailer data in Ethernet II frames as well as in 802.3
frames.

the following:
It is now possible to enable/disable a particular protocol decoding
(i.e. the protocol dissector is void or not). When a protocol
is disabled, it is displayed as Data and of course, all linked
sub-protocols are disabled as well.
Disabling a protocol could be interesting:
- in case of buggy dissectors
- in case of wrong heuristics
- for performance reasons
- to decode the data as another protocol (TODO)
Currently (if I am not wrong), all dissectors but NFS can be disabled
(and dissectors that do not register protocols :-)
I do not like the way the RPC sub-dissectors are disabled (in the
sub-dissectors) since this could be done in the RPC dissector itself,
knowing the sub-protocol hfinfo entry (this is why, I've not modified
the NFS one yet).
Two functions are added in proto.c :
gboolean proto_is_protocol_enabled(int n);
void proto_set_decoding(int n, gboolean enabled);
and two MACROs which can be used in dissectors:
OLD_CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, pd, offset, fd, tree)
CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, tvb, pinfo, tree)
See also the XXX in proto_dlg.c and proto.c around the new functions.

#include <external_package_include_files (e.g. gtk, glib etc.)>

dissectors to be registered as dissectors for particular ports,
registered as heuristic dissectors, and registered as dissectors for
conversations, and have routines to be used both by old-style and
new-style dissectors to call registered dissectors.
Have the code that calls those dissectors translate the arguments as
necessary. (For conversation dissectors, replace
"find_conversation_dissector()", which just returns a pointer to the
dissector, with "old_try_conversation_dissector()" and
"try_conversation_dissector()", which actually call the dissector, so
that there's a single place at which we can do that translation. Also
make "dissector_lookup()" static and, instead of calling it and, if it
returns a non-null pointer, calling that dissector, just use
"old_dissector_try_port()" or "dissector_try_port()", for the same
reason.)
This allows some dissectors that took old-style arguments and
immediately translated them to new-style arguments to just take
new-style arguments; make them do so. It also allows some new-style
dissectors not to have to translate arguments before calling routines to
look up and call dissectors; make them not do so.
Get rid of checks for too-short frames in new-style dissectors - the
tvbuff code does those checks for you.
Give the routines to register old-style dissectors, and to call
dissectors from old-style dissectors, names beginning with "old_", with
the routines for new-style dissectors not having the "old_". Update the
dissectors that use those routines appropriately.
Rename "dissect_data()" to "old_dissect_data()", and
"dissect_data_tvb()" to "dissect_data()".

"ip_checksum_shouldbe()" compute the correct checksum given the computed
whole-packet checksum and the value of the checksum field; that scheme
can be better extended in the future to handle checksums other than the
IP header checksum, e.g. ICMP, UDP, and TCP checksums (although we'd
want a somewhat more optimized checksumming routine for that, and
perhaps have an option to control whether to do checksum checking on TCP
and UDP packets, as that could be expensive).
That requires that we remember the value of the computed checksum, not
just check it against 0; that renders "ip_checksum_state()"
uninteresting, as we can just compare the value against 0 in line.

checksum field in the header, set that field to 0, call
"ip_checksum()" to get the checksum, restore the value of the

what "ip_checksum()" returned;

same directory as the "manuf" file ("/etc" or "/usr/local/etc", most
likely).
Add a mechanism to allow modules (e.g., dissectors) to register
preference values, which:
can be put into the global or the user's preference file;
can be set from the command line, with arguments to the "-o"
flag;
can be set from tabs in the "Preferences" dialog box.
Use that mechanism to register the "Decode IPv4 TOS field as DiffServ
field" variable for IP as a preference.
Stuff that still needs to be done:
documenting the API for registering preferences;
documenting the "-o" values in the man page (probably needs a
flag similar to "-G", and a Perl script to turn the output into
documentation as is done with the list of field);
handling error checking for numeric values (range checking,
making sure that if the user changes the variable from the GUI
they change it to a valid numeric value);
using the callbacks to, for example, update the display when
preferences are changed (could be expensive);
panic if the user specifies a numeric value with a base other
than 10, 8, or 16.
We may also want to clean up the existing wired-in preferences not to
take effect the instant you tweak the widget, and to add an "Apply"
button to the "Preferences" dialog.
