of protocol-id-plus-datum pairs, so that multiple protocols can attach
information to the same conversation.
Dissectors that attach information to a conversation should not assume
that if they find a conversation it has one of its data attached to it;
the conversation might've been created by another dissector.

have an unsigned integer as that argument; this squelches some compiler
warnings, and it's the right thing to do in any case.
Don't check whether an unsigned integer value is > 0 - that's the same
as checking whether it's != 0.

whether that data is an end-marker in an SDES, so we don't report a
malformed frame if the SDES list doesn't end with an RTCP_SDES_END
marker (RFC 1889 says "The list of items in each chunk is terminated by
one or more null octets, the first of which is interpreted as an item
type of zero to denote the end of the list", but the "Parsing RTCP SDES
packets" example doesn't seem to treat hitting the end of the frame
before seeing an RTCP_SDES_END as an error, and at least one Quicktime
capture I have has no RTCP_SDES_END at the end).
Use "tvb_reported_length_remaining()" to do the check, so that we don't
stop until we either hit the *real* end (rather than the capture end) of
the packet, or throw an exception (so that a "Short Frame" indication
shows up if the capture length was such that not all the frame was
captured).

"{old_}heur_dissector_add()", "{old_}conv_dissector_add()", and
"register_dissector()", so that an entry in those tables has associated
with it the protocol index of the protocol the dissector handles (or -1,
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
interdependencies
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
1.0 comes out....)

particular protocols, and which keep track of all dissectors that could
be associated with conversations using those particular protocols - for
example, the RTP and RTCP dissectors could be assigned to UDP
conversations.
This is for future use with UI features allowing the dissector for a
given conversation to be set from the UI, to allow
1) conversations between two ports, both of which have
dissectors associated with them, that have been given to the
wrong dissector to be given to the right dissector;
2) conversations between two ports, neither of which have
dissectors associated with them, to be given to a dissector
(RTP and RTCP, for example, typically run on random ports,
and if you don't have, in a capture, traffic that would say
"OK, traffic between these two hosts and ports will be RTP
traffic", you may have to tell Ethereal explicitly what
protocol the conversation is).

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
dissector won't see fragments other than the first fragment of a
fragmented datagram.

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
"tvb_length(tvb)" call.

protocols have been disabled.
Get rid of the "no tvbuff" dissectors for WSP and WTP - they're not used
(and shouldn't ever be used).
Make "dissect_wtp()" static, as it's not used outside "packet-wtp.c".

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.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2031
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.
