protocols, in addition to adding structures to the list of filterable
fields. Give it an extra argument that specifies a "short name" for the
protocol, for use in such places as
pinfo->current_proto;
the dialog box for constructing filters;
the preferences tab for the protocol;
and so on (although we're not yet using it in all those places).
Make the preference name that appears in the preferences file and the
command line for the DIAMETER protocol "diameter", not "Diameter"; the
convention is that the name in question be all-lower-case.
Make some routines and variables that aren't exported static.
Update a comment in the ICP dissector to make it clear that the

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).
Replace an END_OF_FRAME reference in a tvbuffified dissector with a

string formatter, like "format_text()", and, as "tvbuff.c" now calls it
(*vide infra*), we don't want to have to make "tvbuff.c" drag "packet.h"
in just to declare "bytes_to_str()". It's now declared in "strutil.h",
so include it in modules that use "bytes_to_str()" and weren't already
including it.
Add a "tvb_bytes_to_str()" wrapper that calls "tvb_get_ptr()" to get a
pointer to a chunk of N bytes at a given offset in a tvbuff and then
hands that chunk to "bytes_to_str()". Convert the code that was doing
that to use "tvb_bytes_to_str()" instead (which caught what I suspect is
a bug in the Q.2931 dissector, where it was handing an offset of 0 to
"tvb_get_ptr()" - a cut-and-pasteo, I think).
Tvbuffify the ARP dissector.

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.

a particular type, rather than taking a varargs list, along the lines of
the "proto_tree_add_XXX_format()" routines.
Replace most calls to "proto_tree_add_item()" and
"proto_tree_add_item_hidden()" with calls to those routines.
Rename "proto_tree_add_item()" and "proto_tree_add_item_hidden()" to
"proto_tree_add_item_old()" and "proto_tree_add_item_hidden_old()", and
add new "proto_tree_add_item()" and "proto_tree_add_item_hidden()"
routines that don't take the item to be added as an argument - instead,
they fetch the argument from the packet whose tvbuff was handed to them,
from the offset handed to them.

(i.e., the amount of data that was in the packet, even if not all of it
was captured), for use when dissecting packets containing data that
fills the packet (we want the dissector to try to dissect all of it; if
it runs past the end of the captured data, we want it to throw an
exception so that we'll put a "Short Frame" note in the protocol tree).
This means we always want a tvbuff to have a real reported length value,
so we make it an unsigned integer, and don't bother checking it for -1,
as it should never be -1.
If the reported length passed in to "tvb_set_subset()" is -1, set the
reported length to the reported length of the tvbuff of which the new
tvbuff will be a subset minus the offset in that tvbuff of the subset,
so that "-1" means "what's left of the packet after we chop off the
header". This is necessary in order to ensure that all tvbuffs have a
real reported length value.
Have "dissect_packet()" set the reported length of the top-level tvbuff
to the reported length of the frame, so that we start out with a tvbuff
with a real reported length value.
Have "tvb_offset_exists()" return FALSE if the offset is past the end of
the tvbuff.
If the offset passed to it is postitive, have "compute_offset_length()"
check for that it's not more than one byte past the end of the tvbuff -
if it's just past the end, we don't want the check to fail, as we don't
want attempts to create a subset tvbuff containing zero bytes to fail;
that would be done if a captured packet was all header and no payload,
and we'd want the dissector of the payload, not the dissector of the
header, to throw an exception, as the problem isn't with the protocol
for the header, it's with the protocol for the payload.
Convert the ATM dissector, the SSCOP dissector, the Q.2931 dissector,
and the Q.931 dissector to use tvbuffs.
Make the LAPD dissector set up a tvbuff for the Q.931 dissector (it's
not converted yet).

Add exceptions routines.
Convert proto_tree_add_*() routines to require tvbuff_t* argument.
Convert all dissectors to pass NULL argument ("NullTVB" macro == NULL) as
the tvbuff_t* argument to proto_tree_add_*() routines.
dissect_packet() creates a tvbuff_t, wraps the next dissect call in
a TRY block, will print "Short Frame" on the proto_tree if a BoundsError
exception is caught.
The FDDI dissector is converted to use tvbuff's.

In Q.931 and Q.2931, the TR 9577 values are NLPIDs, so use "nlpid_vals"

Handle the OUI for the ATM Forum in the layer 3 information for ISO TR

put it into a subroutine in "packet-arp.c", and call it from
"packet-q2931.c".
Add a "packet-arp.h" header to hold declarations of routines exported by
"packet-atm.c" (other than the ATM dissector itself), moving them out of
"packet.h".
Use the aforementioned NSAP dissector to display ATM addresses in NSAP
format, and display E.164 addresses as ASCII text (under the assumption
that they're presented as a string of IA5, i.e. ASCII, characters, just
as they are in Q.931).

Export some functions from the Q.931 dissector, so the Q.2931 dissector
