tvb_get_string() - takes a tvbuff, an offset, and a length as
arguments, allocates a buffer big enough to hold a string with
the specified number of bytes plus an added null terminator
(i.e., length+1), copies the specified number of bytes from the
tvbuff, at the specified offset, to that buffer and puts in a
null terminator, and returns a pointer to that buffer (or throws
an exception before allocating the buffer if that many bytes
aren't available in the tvbuff);
tvb_get_stringz() - takes a tvbuff, an offset, and a pointer to
a "gint" as arguments, gets the size of the null-terminated
string starting at the specified offset in the tvbuff (throwing
an exception if the null terminator isn't found), allocates a
buffer big enough to hold that string, copies the string to that
buffer, and returns a pointer to that buffer and stores the
length of the string (including the terminating null) in the
variable pointed to by the "gint" pointer.
Replace many pieces of code allocating a buffer and copying a string
with calls to "tvb_get_string()" (for one thing, "tvb_get_string()"
doesn't require you to remember that the argument to
"tvb_get_nstringz0()" is the size of the buffer into which you're
copying the string, which might be the length of the string to be copied
*plus 1*).
Don't use fixed-length buffers for null-terminated strings (even if the
code that generates those packets has a #define to limit the length of
the string). Use "tvb_get_stringz()", instead.
In some cases where a value is fetched but is only used to pass an
argument to a "proto_tree_add_XXX" routine, use "proto_tree_add_item()"
instead.

Don't add "-I/usr/include" to CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS; GCC 3.1 warns
about it, and it's not necessary.
Expand the plugin directory path used for installation at
installation time, rather than configuration time, so the user

extracting PDUs from it and possibly doing reassembly. Make the COPS,
DNS, DSI, Gryphon, and SCCP dissectors use it.
Add "set_actual_length()", "tcp_dissect_pdus()",
"decode_boolean_bitfield()", "decode_numeric_bitfield()", and
"decode_enumerated_bitfield()" to the list of routines available to
dissectors on platforms where routines in the main program aren't
available to dynamically-loaded code.
Declare routines in "to_str.h" as "extern"; as I remember, that's
necessary to allow the "decode_XXX_bitfield()" routines declared therein
to be made available to plugins as per the above.
Note that new exported routines should be added to the end of the table
if that's the only change being made to the table.
Create a new "plugin_api_decls.h" header file, used to declare both the
"p_" variables and the "p_" structure members in the routine-exporting
mechanism; this reduces the number of places you have to change to
change the list of exported routines.

As a result of that, we now construct a tvbuff for each Gryphon message;
this obviates the need to pass a message length to the dissectors for
each message type.

In the "configure.in" files, add
-D_U_="__attribute__((unused))"
to CFLAGS if we're using GCC, and add
-D_U_=""
otherwise, so _U_ can be used to mark arguments as unused.
Add -D_U_="" arguments to the Makefile.nmake files as well, so _U_ works
with Microsoft Visual C++ as well.
Add comments and RCS IDs to the Makefile.nmake files that don't already
have them.

"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/").

structure to the "packet_info" structure; only stuff that's permanently
stored with each frame should be in the "frame_data" structure, and the
"column_info" structure is not guaranteed to hold the column values for
that frame at all times - it was only in the "frame_data" structure so
that it could be passed to dissectors, and, as all dissectors are now
passed a pointer to a "packet_info" structure, it could just as well be
put in the "packet_info" structure.
That saves memory, by shrinking the "frame_data" structure (there's one
of those per frame), and also lets us clean up the code a bit.

"{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....)

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.

variables and a "dissector" routine, a "plugin_reg_handoff()" routine,
which will act just like the "reg_handoff()" routine of a non-plugin
dissector, registering the dissector with handoff tables.
This lets them plug into both TCP and UDP, or plug into protocols other
than TCP or UDP.
Those new-style plugin are enabled and disabled using the standard
"Edit->Protocols" mechanism (and thus should use
"OLD_CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA()" or "CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA()"); they don't
show up in the list of plugins, aren't enabled or disabled from that
list, and, as they don't have a filter, can't have the filter changed
from that list - instead, they should register preferences for port
numbers and the like if they should be configurable to use different
ports.
Make the Gryphon protocol a new-style plugin.

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.

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.

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().
