That way, we call all dissector registration routines together, and then

Moving them to "EXTRA_DIST" makes 1.4b happy.
Automake 1.4 allows them either to be in "EXTRA_libethereal_a_SOURCES"
or in "EXTRA_DIST"; the only difference between the generated
"Makefile.in" files is which of those two variables the files are in,
and the only difference that makes is that it keeps those two files out
of "SOURCES", which means that "make ID" doesn't include them in the
files it looks at, and "make TAGS" and "make tags" don't include them in
the files they look at. I'm not sure whether the tags file should be
built from "dfilter-grammar.y" and "dfilter-scanner.l", or from
"dfilter-grammar.c" and "dfilter-scanner.c"; the former means you see
the real source file, not the generated source file, if you look for a
symbol defined in one of those files, while the latter means you can
look for symbols in code generated by YACC/Bison or Flex.
In either case, the generated files go into the distribution tarball,
which is what we want.
For now, we go with what makes Automake 1.4b happy.

called the routine to call a dissector, so the current protocol is the
one for that dissector. This may be important if a dissector calls a
subdissector and, after it returns, processes stuff in the packet after
the stuff dissected by the subdissectror.
This means it's safe for "dissector_try_heuristic()" to set it before
calling a heuristic dissector, as it'll put back the previous value when
it returns.

have, for heuristic dissectors, separate "recognize" and "dissect"
routines, where the former never throws an exception and returns TRUE or
FALSE, and the latter is called only if the "recognize" routine claimed
the frame, and is just a "dissector_t" that doesn't return a value.)

names for the source and target hardware addresses with
"add_ether_byip()"; if "host_name_lookup()" fails to find a host name
for the IP address, it shouldn't use "ip_to_str()" to generate an IP
address string to associate with the IP address, as if that's done twice
it'll run out of "ip_to_str()" buffers - there're only 3 of them - and

1) it'd have to handle both regular and heuristic dissectors;

packet.
Use that routine in the TFTP dissector. As it throws an exception if
the string isn't NUL-terminated, we can just use "%s" to print option
strings; we don't need to use "%.*s" with a string length.

(It doesn't seem to add a lot of CPU overhead, so we don't introduce a

the overhead is just swamped by other overheads when scanning through a

doesn't just seem to be a profiling artifact) that, at least on FreeBSD

a '\0' into the first byte of the column data than to do so by copying a
null string (I guess when copying one byte, the fixed overhead of the
procedure call and of "strcpy()" is significant).
Have the TCP dissector set the Protocol column, and clear the Info
column, before doing anything that might cause an exception to be
thrown, so that if we *do* get an exception thrown, the frame at least
shows up as TCP.
Instead of, in the TCP dissector, constructing a string and then
stuffing it into the Info column, just append to the Info column, which
avoids one string copy.
Pass a "frame_data" pointer to dissectors for TCP and IP (and PPP)

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()").

ESIS dissectors.
Register the IP dissector and have dissectors that call it directly

Add a routine "tvb_set_reported_length()" which a dissector can use if
it was handed a tvbuff that contains more data than is actually in its
part of the packet - for example, handing a padded Ethernet frame to IP;
the routine sets the reported length of the tvbuff (and also adjusts the
actual length, as appropriate). Then use it in IP.
Given that, "ethertype()" can determine how much of the Ethernet frame
was actually part of an IP datagram (and can do the same for other
protocols under Ethernet that use "tvb_set_reported_length()"; have it
return the actual length, and have "dissect_eth()" and "dissect_vlan()"

frames.

attempts to refer to it from "libui" failed. Make "patable" static to
"epan/plugins.c". (This may still not work, as now "libui" is calling a
routine in "libethereal"; if that fails, perhaps it's time to get rid of
the "enable/disable plugins" stuff completely, as new-style plugins, at
least, register themselves as protocols and should be controllable from
the "Edit->Protocols" window just as built-in dissectors are.)

dissector can get a "handle" for that dissector by name and then call
that dissector through the handle.
This allows dissectors that can't be called through a port table or a
heuristic table to be called from other dissectors without directly
referring to the dissector function - dynamically-loaded modules, under
Windows, cannot directly call functions in the main program, and
non-plugin dissectors are in the main program and thus cannot be called
from plugin dissectors unless either
1) a pointer to the dissector is put in the Big Transfer Vector
or
2) some other mechanism for getting a pointer to the dissector
is provided.
This mechanism could also support registering old-style dissectors and
calling them from new-style dissectors without the new-style dissector
having to do the argument translation itself (I didn't add support for
registering old-style dissectors because I'd prefer to have people
tvbuffify their code if they have to register a dissector...).
It could also, in the future, perhaps support
disabling of protocols;
setting "pinfo->current_proto";
inside "call_dissector()" - and inside "{old_}dissector_try_port()" and
"{old_"dissector_try_heuristic()" - allowing a pile of stuff that
currently has to be done in every dissector be done by common code.
(I have some ideas about how to do this, by
having "proto_register_protocol()" take an abbreviation - of the
sort that would be put in, for example, "pinfo->current_proto" -
as an argument;
having the calls to register dissectors take an index returned
by "proto_register_protocol()" as an argument.
The abbreviation could be used elsewhere as well, e.g. in the "Decoding"
tab of the "Edit->Protocols" dialog box, and in a GUI for constructing
protocol filters. Watch this space.)
Make "dissect_sdp()" the first client of this mechanism; it's now static
to "packet-sdp.c", and all dissectors that call it - including the MGCP
plugin - now call it through a dissector handle fetched by
"find_dissector()". (Next step - see if Ethereal can now compile on
Windows as a result of this.)

still more routines need to be added to the table of routines callable
from plugins, but tomorrow is another day. Making libethereal a DLL may
obviate the need for that table, *if* all the routines called from a

That means a bunch of things need to be fixed to cope with libethereal

the proto_tree into the epan_dissect_t, too).
What remains of dissect_packet() in packet.c handles the tvbuff initialiation.
The real meat of dissect_packet() is now in dissect_frame(), in packet-frame.c
This means that "packet.c" is no longer a dissector, os it is no longer
passed to make-reg-dotc.
Once dissect_fddi() gets two wrapper functions (dissect_fddi_swapped()
and dissect_fddi_nonswapped()), the a dissector handoff routine could
be used instead of the switch statement in dissect_frame(). I'd register
a field like "wtap.encap"
