proto_tree_add_item was valid *before* we short-circuited based on a NULL tree.
This was good in that it removed a common source of really-long-loop bugs. It
was less good in that it cost us about 8% in speed when doing a tree-less
dissection, but we decided the tradeoff was worth it.
After Anders' recent mail to -dev about performance, I started thinking about
how to optimize this. It occurred to me that the vast majority of the logic
involved in the check was dealing with the length value - fetching the actual
length if it was a counted string, calculating the length if it was -1, adding
the length to the offset in a way that was free from overflows, etc.
All of this is (theoretically) unnecessary - simply checking the offset without
worrying about the length will still catch the very-long-loops, since it is the
offset that increases in each iteration, not the length.
All that to justify:
- implement tvb_ensure_offset_exists which throws an exception if the offset is
not within the tvb
- use it instead of all the complicated other logic in the pre-short-circuit
step of proto_tree_add_item and friends
This gives us back about 3/4 of the performance we lost in the original patch.
We're still ~2% slower than without any check, but this is the best I can think
of right now.

haven't reassembled, we're probably moving sequentially through the
packet, which means that we'll run past the end of the fragment rather
than past the end of what would have been the reassembled packet had we
reassembled it.
I.e., there's little reason to care whether we're past the end of the
fragment but not past the end of the packet, or whether we're past the
end of the packet; in either case, we're past the end of the fragment,
and if somebody wants to know whether the packet is malformed by
stopping short of certain fields, they should enable reassembly.
So we get rid of the explicit fragment length in tvbuffs and, instead,
have a "this is a fragment" flag; if that flag is set, we throw
FragmentBoundsError rather than ReportedBoundsError if we run past the
end of the reported data.
(This also means we could flag the tvbuff even if we don't know how
large the reassembled packet will be, e.g. when doing IP reassembly.)
Replace tvb_new_subset_length_fragment() with tvb_new_subset_length()
and a new "set the "this is a fragment flag"" routine.

first fragment of a non-reassembled packet, and we know the length the
packet would have if it were reassembled, this field holds the length of
the fragment, and the "reported length" field shows the length the
packet would have if it were reassembled, so going past the end of the
fragment but staying within the length of the reassembled packet can be
reported as "dissection would have worked if the packet had been
reassembled" rather than "the packet is too short, so it was probably
malformed".
Add a FragmentBoundsError exception, thrown in the "dissection would
have worked if the packet had been reassembled" case.
Add a new tvb_new_subset_length_fragment() routine to create a new
subset tvb with specified fragment and reported lengths. Use it in the

tvbuff, and a length from that offset, and returns a subset tvbuff
referring to that data (or throws an exception). This does what most if
not all calls to tvb_new_subset() (other than the ones that really
should be calls to tvb_new_subset_remaining()) should be doing, i.e.
setting the reported length of the tvbuff to the specified length and
calculating the appropriate value of the captured length based on that.

b. tvb_free_chain() can only be called for the 'top-level' (initial)

The current implementation of tvb_new_subset_remaining() only has the THROW_ON(reported_length < 1) check removed when compared to tvb_new_subset(). So there's room for improvement in this function. We should be able to disable some more (redundant) bounds checking.

est. Use g_ascii_strcasecmp() and g_ascii_strncasecmp(), and supply our
own versions if they're missing from GLib (as is the case with GLib
1.x).
In the code to build the list of named fields for Diameter, don't use
g_strdown(); do our own g_ascii_-style upper-case to lower-case mapping
in the hash function and use g_ascii_strcasecmp() in the compare
function.
We do this because there is no guarantee that toupper(), tolower(), and
functions that use them will, for example, map between "I" and "i" in
all locales; in Turkish locales, for example, there are, in both
upper case and lower case, versions of "i" with and without a dot, and
the upper-case version of "i" is "I"-with-a-dot and the lower-case
version of "I" is "i"-without-a-dot. This causes strings that should
match not to match.
This finishes fixing bug 2010 - an earlier checkin prevented the crash
(as there are other ways to produce the same crash, e.g. a bogus
dictionary.xml file), but didn't fix the case-insensitive string matching.

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.
