A number of protocols have IDs that can be reused that are used as
lookup keys. In most cases the frame number should be used as well
to differentiate repeat appearances of an ID. For response/request
matching, it is frequently useful to find the most recent frame number
(greatest value less than or equal to the current one) that contained
an ID.
We can achieve that by using a multimap that stores values with a given
ID in a tree keyed with the frame number. This works better than using
a map or a tree alone:
1) A map isn't ordered, so doesn't allow for less than or equal comparison.
2) Using a tree requires an ordering on all the ID components, and then
having to test all the components other than the frame number separately
for equality after retrieval.
Currently the multimap does not support inserting items without specifying
the tree key (and having the multimap generate a key), because the total
capacity of trees (including deleted nodes) is not tracked. If other use
cases are needed, this could be added later along with more generic
multimap support.
Use a multimap in ANSI MAP, ANSI TCAP, and GSM SMS, all of which need to
match lookup IDs that can be reused. Fix#7653.
Change our developer.gnome.org/glib URLs to
developer-old.gnome.org/glib. The official documentation for GLib
appears to be at https://docs.gtk.org/glib/, but it has a different
layout than the gnome.org content (and is surprisingly resistant to
exploration IMHO). We can switch to developer-old.gnome.org using a
simple substitution and it still seems to be updated, so do that for
now.
This should fix the cppcheck warning "The unsigned expression
'sizeof(struct _PKT_INFO)' will never be negative so it is either
pointless or an error to check if it is."
wmem_safe_mult() was only used to do an overflow-safe multiplication of
a type size and a count of elements of that type; replace it with
wmem_safe_mult_type_size(), which takes the type as the first argument,
and checks only whether the count of elements is <= 0.
We have two format_size()s, with and without wmem scoped memory.
Move the wmem version to wsutil and add a convenience macro to
use g_malloc()ed memory.
This allows wmem to be used from other libraries, namely wsutil.
It is often the case that a funtion exists in wsutil and cannot
be used with a wmem scope, requiring some code duplication or
extra memory allocations, or vice-versa, code in epan cannot be
moved to wsutil because it has a wmem dependency.
To this end wmem is moved to wsutil. Scope management remains part
of epan because those scope semantics are specific to dissection.
