the following:
It is now possible to enable/disable a particular protocol decoding
(i.e. the protocol dissector is void or not). When a protocol
is disabled, it is displayed as Data and of course, all linked
sub-protocols are disabled as well.
Disabling a protocol could be interesting:
- in case of buggy dissectors
- in case of wrong heuristics
- for performance reasons
- to decode the data as another protocol (TODO)
Currently (if I am not wrong), all dissectors but NFS can be disabled
(and dissectors that do not register protocols :-)
I do not like the way the RPC sub-dissectors are disabled (in the
sub-dissectors) since this could be done in the RPC dissector itself,
knowing the sub-protocol hfinfo entry (this is why, I've not modified
the NFS one yet).
Two functions are added in proto.c :
gboolean proto_is_protocol_enabled(int n);
void proto_set_decoding(int n, gboolean enabled);
and two MACROs which can be used in dissectors:
OLD_CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, pd, offset, fd, tree)
CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, tvb, pinfo, tree)
See also the XXX in proto_dlg.c and proto.c around the new functions.

dissectors to be registered as dissectors for particular ports,
registered as heuristic dissectors, and registered as dissectors for
conversations, and have routines to be used both by old-style and
new-style dissectors to call registered dissectors.
Have the code that calls those dissectors translate the arguments as
necessary. (For conversation dissectors, replace
"find_conversation_dissector()", which just returns a pointer to the
dissector, with "old_try_conversation_dissector()" and
"try_conversation_dissector()", which actually call the dissector, so
that there's a single place at which we can do that translation. Also
make "dissector_lookup()" static and, instead of calling it and, if it
returns a non-null pointer, calling that dissector, just use
"old_dissector_try_port()" or "dissector_try_port()", for the same
reason.)
This allows some dissectors that took old-style arguments and
immediately translated them to new-style arguments to just take
new-style arguments; make them do so. It also allows some new-style
dissectors not to have to translate arguments before calling routines to
look up and call dissectors; make them not do so.
Get rid of checks for too-short frames in new-style dissectors - the
tvbuff code does those checks for you.
Give the routines to register old-style dissectors, and to call
dissectors from old-style dissectors, names beginning with "old_", with
the routines for new-style dissectors not having the "old_". Update the
dissectors that use those routines appropriately.
Rename "dissect_data()" to "old_dissect_data()", and
"dissect_data_tvb()" to "dissect_data()".

a particular type, rather than taking a varargs list, along the lines of
the "proto_tree_add_XXX_format()" routines.
Replace most calls to "proto_tree_add_item()" and
"proto_tree_add_item_hidden()" with calls to those routines.
Rename "proto_tree_add_item()" and "proto_tree_add_item_hidden()" to
"proto_tree_add_item_old()" and "proto_tree_add_item_hidden_old()", and
add new "proto_tree_add_item()" and "proto_tree_add_item_hidden()"
routines that don't take the item to be added as an argument - instead,
they fetch the argument from the packet whose tvbuff was handed to them,
from the offset handed to them.

Add exceptions routines.
Convert proto_tree_add_*() routines to require tvbuff_t* argument.
Convert all dissectors to pass NULL argument ("NullTVB" macro == NULL) as
the tvbuff_t* argument to proto_tree_add_*() routines.
dissect_packet() creates a tvbuff_t, wraps the next dissect call in
a TRY block, will print "Short Frame" on the proto_tree if a BoundsError
exception is caught.
The FDDI dissector is converted to use tvbuff's.

destination network-layer addresses of the servers, and the NCP
connection number, and use the pointer to the conversation and the
request sequence number as the hash key for the table of requests used
to find the request for a given response; this lets it work with
NCP-over-TCP and NCP-over-UDP.
Register the NCP dissector with the UDP dissector in the handoff
registration routine for NCP, just as we do with the TCP dissector.

is the first time we've looked at a packet; it may not be null if, for

Instead, use the new "visited" flag.

question.
Make the dissectors for those protocols static if they're not called

Get rid of header files if all they did was declare dissectors that are
now static; remove declarations of now-static dissectors from header
files that do more than just declare the dissector.

If using GCC 2.x, we can check the print-format against the variable args
passed in. Regardless of compiler, we can now check at run-time that the
field type passed into the function corresponds to what that function
expects (FT_UINT, FT_BOOLEAN, etc.)
Note that proto_tree_add_protocol_format() does not require a value field,
since the value of a protocol is always NULL. It's more intuitive w/o the
vestigial argument.
Fixed a proto_tree_add_item_format-related bug in packet-isis-hello.c
Fixed a variable usage bug in packet-v120.c. (ett_* was used instead of hf_*)
Checked in Guy's fix for the function declearation for proto_tree_add_text()
and proto_tree_add_notext().

routines, which are called before a dissection pass is made over all the
packets in a capture - the "init" routine would clear out any state
information that needs to be initialized before such a dissection pass.
Make the NCP, SMB, AFS, and ONC RPC dissectors register their "init"
routines with that mechanism, have the code that reads in a capture file
call the routine that calls all registered "init" routines rather than
calling a wired-in set of "init" routines, and also have the code that
runs a filtering or colorizing pass over all the packets call that
routine, as a filtering or colorizing pass is a dissection pass.
Have the ONC RPC "init" routine zero out the table of RPC calls, so that
it completely erases any state from the previous dissection pass (so
that, for example, if you run a filtering pass, it doesn't mark any
non-duplicate packets as duplicates because it remembers them from the
previous pass).

dynamically-assigned "ett_" integer values, assigned by
"proto_register_subtree_array()"; this:
obviates the need to update "packet.h" whenever you add a new
subtree type - you only have to add a call to
"proto_register_subtree_array()" to a "register" routine and an
array of pointers to "ett_", if they're not already there, and
add a pointer to the new "ett_" variable to the array, if they
are there;
would allow run-time-loaded dissectors to allocate subtree types
when they're loaded.

in the IPX header, and have the dissectors it calls use it rather than
being passed the length as an argument.
Treat both packet type 20 ("WAN Broadcast") and 4 ("IPX", although 3 is
also "IPX", according to Network Monitor) as potentially being NetBIOS
packets.
The packet types for the IPX NetBIOS socket (0x0455) and the NWLink
sockets (0x0551 and 0x0553) are different (perhaps because there's one
socket for the 0x0455 NBIPX, so you have to do name service and datagram
service and have the packet types distinguish them, but NWLink has
separate sockets for name service and datagram service).
The packet type for name service and for datagram service are at
*different locations* in the packet, which is unfortunate if you want to
use the packet type to distinguish name service and datagram service
packets. Use the packet length, for now, to distinguish them, with
socket 0x0455.
Dissect datagram packets differently from name service packets.
Export "packet-netbios.c"'s "netbios_add_name()" routine, and use it
when dissecting NBIPX packets as well.
Label NBIPX packets as "NBIPX" rather than "NetBIOS".

macro)
