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()".

Make "proto_is_protocol_enabled()" and "proto_get_protocol_short_name()"
take a "protocol_t *" as an argument, so they don't have to look up the
"protocol_t" - this will probably speed them up considerably, and
they're called on almost every dissector handoff.
Get rid of a number of "proto_is_protocol_enabled()" calls that aren't
necessary (dissectors called through handles, including those called
through dissector tables, or called as heuristic dissectors, aren't even
called if their protocol isn't enabled).
Change some direct dissector calls to go through handles.

Extract the FCS decoding section of the PPP_HDLC dissector to
allow the CHDLC dissector to use the same routine.
The ppp_options used for preferences has been renamed to
fcs_options and exported via packet-ppp.h so CHDLC gets a
separate (but identical) FCS preference.
This means prefs.h has to be included before packet-ppp.h so a
couple of ppp related files (packet-{gtp,null,raw,vj}.c) had
their includes slightly re-arranged.
From me: make the PPP/CHDLC FCS code use "crc32()" to check the 32-bit
FCS.

"dissect_ip_tcp_options()" but for options that are like IPv6 options
(i.e., the length byte has a value that doesn't include the option code
or length byte).
Add an "ip_opts.h" header to declare it, and move the declaration of
stuff used by it and "dissect_ip_tcp_options()", and the declaration of
"dissect_ip_tcp_options()", to that header.
Use "dissect_ipv6_options()" for Mobile IPv6 options.

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.

Things can happen if we pass a zero buffer length to tvb_get_nstringz0().
Throw an exception if this happens.
In various dissectors make sure the tvb_get_nstringz0()'s buffer length
is greater than zero.

tvbuff.c:
Lots of existing code assumes that you can safely do the following:
#define MAX_BUF 64
guint8 *buf[MAX_BUF];
...
tvb_get_nstringz0 (tvb, offset, MAX_BUF, buf, &bytes_copied);
In reality, tvb_get_nstringz*() can potentially write one byte past
"buf". Modify _tvb_get_nstringz() not to do that.

item to look more-or-less like a PPP packet, just dissect it in place
and hand off to the appropriate subdissector using the PPP dissector's
handoff table (which we export, along with its value_string table for
protocol IDs, which we use to report the protocol ID symbolically).
This means there's no point in having a configurable option to control
whether to do that tweaking; make it an obsolete option.
Bring "col_get_writable()" back from the dead, and have the GTP
dissector save the current "writable" flag for columns, mark the columns
non-writable before calling the subdissector for the PPP configuration
protocol, and restore the state of the writable flag, rather than
putting the columns back after the PPP configuration protocol's
dissector is done.
Fix some more typos in comments.
Don't register the IP dissector in the "ppp.protocol" table in the GTP

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-help/1996/05/16/0011.html

Also, clean up some other stuff in the VJ dissector.

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/").

items to the protocol tree; it's interpreted as "the rest of the data in
the tvbuff". This can be used if
1) the item covers the entire packet or the remaining payload in
the packet
or
2) the item's length won't be known until it's dissected, and
will be then set with "proto_item_set_len()" - if an
exception is thrown in the dissection, it means the item ran
*past* the end of the tvbuff, so saying it runs to the end of
the tvbuff is reasonable.
Convert a number of "proto_tree_add_XXX()" calls using
"tvb_length_remaining()", values derived from the result of
"tvb_length()", or 0 (in the case of items whose length is unknown) to
use -1 instead (using 0 means that if an exception is thrown, selecting
the item highlights nothing; using -1 means it highlights all the data
for that item that's available).
In some places where "tvb_length()" or "tvb_length_remaining()" was used
to determine how large a packet is, use "tvb_reported_length()" or
"tvb_reported_length_remaining()", instead - the first two calls
indicate how much captured data was in the packet, the latter two calls
indicate how large the packet actually was (and the fact that using the
latter could cause BoundsError exceptions to be thrown is a feature - if
such an exception is thrown, the frame really *was* short, and it should
be tagged as such).
Replace some "proto_tree_add_XXX()" calls with equivalent
"proto_tree_add_item()" calls.
Fix some indentation.

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.
