stuff currently being dissected is part of a packet included in an error
packet (e.g., an ICMP Unreachable packet). Have the TCP dissector not
bother doing reassembly if the TCP segment is part of an error packet,
rather than an actual TCP transmission; other dissectors might want to
treat those packets specially as well.
Add to the "tcpinfo" structure a flag indicating whether the URG flag
was set, rather than having the zero or non-zero value of the urgent
pointer indicate that. (Yes, at least as I read RFC 793, a zero urgent
pointer value isn't useful, as it means "the stuff before this segment
is urgent", but it's certainly possible to put onto the wire a TCP
segment with URG set and a zero urgent pointer.)
Don't dissect the TCP header by grabbing the entire header with
"tvb_memcpy()" and then pulling stuff out of it - extract stuff with
individual tvbuff calls, and put stuff into the protocol tree and the
Info column as we extract it, so that we can dissect a partial header.
This lets us, for example, get the source and destination ports from the
TCP header of the part of a TCP segment included in a minimum-length
ICMPv4 error packet.

"void *" that a dissector can set to point to such a structure; that
means that the stuff in the epan directory doesn't have to know anything
about the protocol-specific private data one dissector passes to
another, and that structure doesn't have to be changed if a dissector
wants to pass some new type of data to another dissector.
