it specially, otherwise you put Ethereal at risk of crashing with bad
packet data.

they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows;
hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows,
the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on
Windows, not on UN*X.

have to", indicating that if it's too much work to explicitly test for a
null protocol tree, you might want to avoid those tests and rely on the
protocol tree routines not to do much work if passed a null protocol
tree pointer.

use to format 64-bit integers.
Fix the RSVP dissector to use that rather than hardcoding "%ll" in.
Remove the "only if G_HAVE_GINT64 is defined" bit from the discussion of
64-bit integers - we're too dependent on having them to support
compilers that don't have a 64-bit integral data type. Do, however,
note that neither "long" nor "long long" are acceptable, and also note
that you shouldn't assume "%ll" does the trick for printing them.

convenient to put into a command line (no capital letters, no spaces to
require quotes), and one that's a detailed description for use in the
UI. Allow either of them in the preferences file or "-o" option; use
the detailed description in the UI, and also use it when writing the
preferences out, so that the preference will be readable by older
versions of Ethereal (assuming the preference existed in that version).
Update "README.developer" to give more detail about an enum_val_t (and
to put the _t in), and to give a more detailed description of the
"radio_buttons" argument to "prefs_register_enum_preference()".

"tvb_get_ptr()".
Add a section on roubustness, giving a number of potential problems that
aren't just portability problems.
Document "tvb_get_string()" and "tvb_get_stringz()", better document
"tvb_memcpy()" and "tvb_memdup()".
Fix a typo.

to export to other dissectors.
Describe the "if (tree)" construct and its sense by introducing 2 operation
modes of Ethereal:
(a) operational dissection (tree == NULL)
and
(b) detailed dissection (tree != NULL).
Fix some typos.

pointer arguments to "proto_tree_add_XXX" functions are copied - if you
allocated a buffer for one of them (e.g., a string), and you don't free
that buffer when you're done with it, you'll leak memory.

Besides "STRING", there is now "UNPARSED_STRING", where the distinction
is that "STRING" was a double-quoted string and "UNPARSED_STRING" is just
a sequence of characters that the scanner didn't know how to scan/parse,
so it's up to the Ftype to parse it.
This gives us more flexibility and prepares the dfilter parsing engine
for the upcoming addition of the "contains" operator.
In the process of doing this, I also re-did the double-quoted string
support in the scanner, so that instead of the naively-simple support we
used to have, double-quoted strings now can have embedded dobule-quotes,
embedded octal sequences, and embedded hexadecimal sequences:
"\"" embedded double-quote
"\110" embedded octal
"\x48" embedded hex
Enhance the dfilter unit test script to be able to run a single collection
of tests instead of having to run all of them all the time.

"prefs_register_XXX_preference" routines, to note that it should *NOT*
include the protocol name - the protocol name is automatically prepended
to it, with a "." separator, as the preference is registered in a module
whose name is that of the protocol.

"strrchr()", not "index()" and "rindex()"; MSVC++ doesn't declare
"index()" or "rindex()" if you include <string.h>, and they're
non-standard routines (the ANSI C names for those functions are
"strchr()" and "strrchr()").
Add a bit more to the other portability note on the topic of
non-standard vs. ANSI standard functions.
