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.

dissector table contain both a hash table, to use to look up port
numbers to find a dissector, and a list of all dissectors that *could*
be assigned to ports in that hash table, to be used by user interface
code.
Make the "Decode As" dialog box code use that.
Also make it *not* let you choose whether to set the dissector for both
the UDP and TCP versions of a port; some protocols run only atop TCP,
some run only atop UDP, and even those that can run atop both may have
different dissector handles to use over TCP and UDP, so handling a
single merged list would be a mess. (If the user is setting the
dissector for a TCP port, only those protocols that Ethereal can handle
over TCP should be listed; if the user is setting the dissector for a
UDP port, only those protocols that Ethereal can handle over TCP should
be listed; if the user is setting a dissector for both, only those
protocols that Ethereal can handle over *both* TCP *and* UDP should be
listed, *and* there needs to be a way to let the "Decode As" code get
both the TCP handle *and* the UDP handle and use the right ones. If
somebody really wants that, they need to implement all of the above if
they want the code to be correct.)
Fix the code that handles setting the dissection for the IP protocol
number to correctly update the lists of protocols being dissected as TCP
and as UDP; the code before this change wasn't updating the single such

only != 0 for whichever dissector is running immediately on

Thus DCERPC needs no special handling to see if it can trust

2. Changes fragment reassembly of transaction smb to only show

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.

This is for future use in a number of places.
(Arguably, "proto_register_protocol()" should take a dissector pointer

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

1) conversations between two ports, both of which have
dissectors associated with them, that have been given to the
wrong dissector to be given to the right dissector;
2) conversations between two ports, neither of which have
dissectors associated with them, to be given to a dissector
(RTP and RTCP, for example, typically run on random ports,
and if you don't have, in a capture, traffic that would say
"OK, traffic between these two hosts and ports will be RTP
traffic", you may have to tell Ethereal explicitly what
protocol the conversation is).

(It doesn't seem to add a lot of CPU overhead, so we don't introduce a

the overhead is just swamped by other overheads when scanning through a

doesn't just seem to be a profiling artifact) that, at least on FreeBSD
3.4, it's significantly more efficient to clear out a column by stuffing
a '\0' into the first byte of the column data than to do so by copying a
null string (I guess when copying one byte, the fixed overhead of the
procedure call and of "strcpy()" is significant).
Have the TCP dissector set the Protocol column, and clear the Info
column, before doing anything that might cause an exception to be
thrown, so that if we *do* get an exception thrown, the frame at least
shows up as TCP.
Instead of, in the TCP dissector, constructing a string and then
stuffing it into the Info column, just append to the Info column, which
avoids one string copy.
Pass a "frame_data" pointer to dissectors for TCP and IP (and PPP)
options, so they can use it to append to the Info column.

can be put, and a pointer to the string for the column, which might or
might not point to that buffer.
Add a routine "col_set_str()", which sets the string for the column to
the string passed to it as an argument; it should only be handed a
static string (a string constant would be ideal). It doesn't do any
copying, so it's faster than "col_add_str()".
Make the routines that append to columns check whether the pointer to
the string for the column points to the buffer for the column and, if
not, copy the string for the column to the buffer for the column so that
you can append to it (so you can use "col_set_str()" and then use
"col_append_str()" or "col_append_fstr()").
Convert a bunch of "col_add_str()" calls that take a string constant as
an argument to "col_set_str()" calls.
Convert some "col_add_fstr()" calls that take a string constant as the
only argument - i.e., the format string doesn't have any "%" slots into
which to put strings for subsequent arguments to "col_set_str()" calls
(those calls are just like "col_add_str()" calls).

ESIS dissectors.
Register the IP dissector and have dissectors that call it directly
(rather than through a port table) call it through a handle.
Add a routine "tvb_set_reported_length()" which a dissector can use if
it was handed a tvbuff that contains more data than is actually in its
part of the packet - for example, handing a padded Ethernet frame to IP;
the routine sets the reported length of the tvbuff (and also adjusts the
actual length, as appropriate). Then use it in IP.
Given that, "ethertype()" can determine how much of the Ethernet frame
was actually part of an IP datagram (and can do the same for other
protocols under Ethernet that use "tvb_set_reported_length()"; have it
return the actual length, and have "dissect_eth()" and "dissect_vlan()"
use that to mark trailer data in Ethernet II frames as well as in 802.3
frames.

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.

#include <external_package_include_files (e.g. gtk, glib etc.)>
Then
#include "ethereal_include_files"
with the correct HAVE_XXX or NEED_XXX protections.

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()".
