there rather than to the top-level tree, and use
"proto_tree_add_item()".
Add a description of PROTOSHORTNAME, and give an example of the way
PROTONAME, PROTOSHORTNAME, and PROTOABBREV would be set for a protocol.

"epan/..." pathnames, so as to avoid collisions with header files in any
of the directories in which we look (e.g., "proto.h", as some other
package has its own "proto.h" file which it installs in the top-level
include directory).
Don't add "-I" flags to search "epan", as that's no longer necessary
(and we want includes of "epan" headers to fail if the "epan/" is left
out, so that we don't re-introduce includes lacking "epan/").

items to the protocol tree; it's interpreted as "the rest of the data in
the tvbuff". This can be used if
1) the item covers the entire packet or the remaining payload in
the packet
or
2) the item's length won't be known until it's dissected, and
will be then set with "proto_item_set_len()" - if an
exception is thrown in the dissection, it means the item ran
*past* the end of the tvbuff, so saying it runs to the end of
the tvbuff is reasonable.
Convert a number of "proto_tree_add_XXX()" calls using
"tvb_length_remaining()", values derived from the result of
"tvb_length()", or 0 (in the case of items whose length is unknown) to
use -1 instead (using 0 means that if an exception is thrown, selecting
the item highlights nothing; using -1 means it highlights all the data
for that item that's available).
In some places where "tvb_length()" or "tvb_length_remaining()" was used
to determine how large a packet is, use "tvb_reported_length()" or
"tvb_reported_length_remaining()", instead - the first two calls
indicate how much captured data was in the packet, the latter two calls
indicate how large the packet actually was (and the fact that using the
latter could cause BoundsError exceptions to be thrown is a feature - if
such an exception is thrown, the frame really *was* short, and it should
be tagged as such).
Replace some "proto_tree_add_XXX()" calls with equivalent
"proto_tree_add_item()" calls.
Fix some indentation.

to reflect tvbuff-based access to packet data.
Update calls that deal with columns to pass "pinfo->cinfo" rather than
"pinfo->fd".
Update the example of preference registration to reflect the replacement
of the BXXP dissector with the BEEP dissector.

"conversation_new()" and "find_conversation()" do not have fixed
identities as source and destination addresses, and to reflect the name
changes we made to arguments and flags to dispel any notion that they
had such fixed identities.

"proto_item_set_text()" except that it appends the result of the
formatting to the item's current text, rather than replacing the item's
current text. Use it in the DNS dissector.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=3880
but, before you set the text, you throw an exception while putting stuff
under the subtree, you end up with an absolutely blank protocol tree
item, which is really gross. Instead of calling
"proto_tree_add_notext()", call "proto_tree_add_text()" with at least a
minimal label - yes, it does mean you do some work that will probably be
unnecessary, but, absent a scheme to arrange to do that work if it *is*
necessary (e.g., catching exceptions), the alternative is an ugly
protocol tree display.

people don't blindly insert the old address into new dissectors, which
is probably how it got into the dissectors being fixed here.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=3348
make the dissector function in the sample dissector code a static
function, and to leave out the "CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA()" call and the
line to set "pinfo->current_proto" in the sample dissector, as the
sample dissector is called through a dissector table, and the code to
call through a dissector table does both of those for you.

plugin is enabled -> disabled -> re-enabled due to the fact that
the protocol registration is performed at each plugin_init() call
(and there is no protocol cleanup like with dfilter_cleanup).
Now we use the proto_xxx static variable to check if it is the first
activation or not (in this case, the proto_register_xxx routines are
not called.

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.

- add <stdarg.h> or <varargs.h> in snprintf.h
and remove those inclusions in the other #ifdef NEED_SNPRINTF_H codes
- remove the check of multiple inclusions in source (.c) code
(there is a bit loss of _cpp_ performance, but I prefer the gain of
code reading and maintenance; and nowadays, disk caches and VM are
correctly optimized ;-).
- protect all (well almost) header files against multiple inclusions
- add header (i.e. GPL license) in some include files
- reorganize a bit the way header files are included:
First:
#include <system_include_files>
#include <external_package_include_files (e.g. gtk, glib etc.)>
Then
#include "ethereal_include_files"
with the correct HAVE_XXX or NEED_XXX protections.
- add some HAVE_XXX checks before including some system header files
- add the same HAVE_XXX in wiretap as in ethereal
Please forgive me, if I break something (I've only compiled and regression
tested on Linux).
