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.

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()".

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.

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.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=1939
registration routines to get rid of the special handling of ONC RPC
protocols - dissectors for ONC RPC-based protocols should register their
protocol, fields, and ETT values in a protocol registration routine, and
register themselves with the ONC RPC dissector in their protocol handoff
routine, so that the latter is done after the ONC RPC dissector's
protocol registration routine is called, so that the data structures
needed when dissectors for ONC RPC protocols register themselves with
the ONC RPC dissector have been initialized.
Get rid of "init_dissect_rpc()", which initializes said data structures;
do that in "proto_register_rpc()" instead.

If using GCC 2.x, we can check the print-format against the variable args
passed in. Regardless of compiler, we can now check at run-time that the
field type passed into the function corresponds to what that function
expects (FT_UINT, FT_BOOLEAN, etc.)
Note that proto_tree_add_protocol_format() does not require a value field,
since the value of a protocol is always NULL. It's more intuitive w/o the
vestigial argument.
Fixed a proto_tree_add_item_format-related bug in packet-isis-hello.c
Fixed a variable usage bug in packet-v120.c. (ett_* was used instead of hf_*)
Checked in Guy's fix for the function declearation for proto_tree_add_text()
and proto_tree_add_notext().

routines, which are called before a dissection pass is made over all the
packets in a capture - the "init" routine would clear out any state
information that needs to be initialized before such a dissection pass.
Make the NCP, SMB, AFS, and ONC RPC dissectors register their "init"
routines with that mechanism, have the code that reads in a capture file
call the routine that calls all registered "init" routines rather than
calling a wired-in set of "init" routines, and also have the code that
runs a filtering or colorizing pass over all the packets call that
routine, as a filtering or colorizing pass is a dissection pass.
Have the ONC RPC "init" routine zero out the table of RPC calls, so that
it completely erases any state from the previous dissection pass (so
that, for example, if you run a filtering pass, it doesn't mark any
non-duplicate packets as duplicates because it remembers them from the
previous pass).

dynamically-assigned "ett_" integer values, assigned by
"proto_register_subtree_array()"; this:
obviates the need to update "packet.h" whenever you add a new
subtree type - you only have to add a call to
"proto_register_subtree_array()" to a "register" routine and an
array of pointers to "ett_", if they're not already there, and
add a pointer to the new "ett_" variable to the array, if they
are there;
would allow run-time-loaded dissectors to allocate subtree types
when they're loaded.

dissect_rpc_string. Replaced only instance of this routine being called.
Added display filtering to rpc dissector. Replaced most instances of

being in the RPC tree.

destination address for calls and the source address of the reply - we
should't require the server address to be the same for a call and reply,
as they may not be on a multi-homed server (clients presumably check the
XID only, or perhaps the XID and the port whence the reply came,
although with TI-RPC I don't think they can check the port without
checking the address as well).
This requires that the conversation code not assume that the source and
destination addresses for a given packet in a conversation have the same
type, so, when comparing addresses for equality, it must explicitly
check the address types.
In said code, also check the port numbers before we check the addresses
- testing ports is cheaper, as they're just integers, and there's
probably a decent chance that you won't see two conversations between
different pairs of hosts and the *same* pair of ports in a capture file,
so the cheaper port tests are probably decently likely to fail first.

Added stat dissector.
Enhancements to portmap dissector.
Added rpc_prog_name function to packet-rpc to retrieve the name of an
rpc program. This should likely eventually be modified to use the
/etc/rpc or rpc.bynumber NIS maps in addition to the programs that
are registered within ethereal.

Added proto_registrar_get_name routine to proto.c to retrieve the name
of particular proto_tree field.
Added dissect_rpc_string_item to packet-rpc.c. This routine does the same
thing as dissect_rpc_string, except it takes a hfindex of a
proto_tree item instead of a name. It uses the p_r_get_name call
to get the name, and adds the actual string content as a hidden
field (so that the subtree highlights the entire data area - length,
data, and padding). There is only one call to dissect_rpc_string, so
I believe that this routine should replace it.
