be loaded and their initialization routines called in right after we
call the initialization routines for built-in dissectors, but don't call
their handoff registration routines yet, and then call the handoff
registration routines right after calling the handoff registration
routines for built-in dissectors.
Do all that in "proto_init()", rather than "epan_init()".
That way, we call all dissector registration routines together, and then
call all dissector handoff registration routines together; all the
registration routines are called before any handoff registration
routines, as is required, and, as "proto_init()" is called by
"epan_init()" before "dfilter_init()" is called, all filterable fields
have been registered before "dfilter_init()" is called, and no plugins
have to call "dfilter_init()" themselves to get their fields registered.
Remove pointers to "dfilter_init()" and "dfilter_cleanup()" from the
plugin address table, as plugins shouldn't be calling them any more, and
remove calls to them from plugins.

It was the last dissector that used "old_call_dissector()", and
tvbuffifying it got rid of that, so get rid of "old_call_dissector()".

"{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....)

"prefs_register_module()" except that it takes a protocol index as
returned by "proto_register_protocol()" as its first argument, rather
than taking two character strings as arguments as its first two
arguments, and uses the protocol's abbreviation as the name to use for
preferences in the preferences file and the "-o" flag and uses the
protocol's short name as the name to use in the tabs in the
"Edit->Preferences" window.

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

Give "dissect_data()" an "offset" argument, so dissectors can use it to

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.)

"plugins/Makefile.nmake" to build that plugin.
Add to the table of routines callable from plugins
"old_dissector_add()", "old_dissect_data()", and
"proto_is_protocol_enabled()", so that the Gryphon dissector can build
on Windows.
Move the includes of "plugins/plugin_api.h" and "moduleinfo.h" before
all the other includes, except for "config.h", in "plugin-mgcp.c", to
match what the Gryphon dissector does; "plugins_api.h" must be included
before any of the routines whose names it #defines in order for the
plugin to build on Windows. (It still doesn't build on Windows, as
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
plugin are in libethereal, as I think routines in a DLL, even a
run-time-loaded DLL, can call routines from another DLL as long as those
routines are exported from the other DLL.)

register lists of "heuristic" dissectors, which are handed a
frame that may or may contain a payload for the protocol they
dissect, and that return FALSE if it's not or dissect the packet
and return TRUE if it is;
add a dissector to such a list;
go through such a list, calling each dissector until either a
dissector returns TRUE, in which case the routine returns TRUE,
or it runs out of entries in the list, in which case the routine
returns FALSE.
Have lists of heuristic dissectors for TCP and for COTP when used with
the Inactive Subset of CLNP, and add the GIOP and Yahoo Messenger
dissectors to the first list and the Sinec H1 dissector to the second
list.
Make the dissector name argument to "dissector_add()" and
"dissector_delete()" a "const char *" rarther than just a "char *".
Add "heur_dissector_add()", the routine to add a heuristic dissector to
a list of heuristic dissectors, to the set of routines we can export to
plugins through a table on platforms where dynamically-loaded code can't
call stuff in the main program, and initialize the element in the table
in question for "dissector_add()" (which we'd forgotten to do).
