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.

the flags field in NTLMSSP messages as a 32-bit field.
Make "get_unicode_or_ascii_string()" take a "Unicode or not" flag rather
than a "packet_info *" as an argument, make it not static, and move it
to "packet-smb-common.c", so that it can be used by the SMB dissector
and the NTLMSSP dissector. Also get rid of some _U_'s that are applied
to arguments that are, in fact, used.

allocate a buffer big enough to hold the ASCIIfied version of that
string, and then ASCIIfy the Unicode string into that buffer, rather
than ASCIIfying into a fixed-length buffer.

Remove the declaration of "dissect_nt_sid()" from
"packet-dcerpc-samr.c"; get it by including "packet-smb-common.h",
instead.

arguments to "proto_tree_add_text()", and to "proto_tree_add_XXX()" calls
that add FT_NONE or FT_PROTO items to the protocol tree, with -1.
Replace some calls to "tvb_length()" or "tvb_length_remaining()" with
calls to "tvb_reported_length()" and "tvb_reported_length_remaining()",
as those give the actual length of the data in the packet, not just the
data that happened to be captured.

Fixed up some longstanding bugs (predating the tvbuffification)
discovered during regression testing of the tvbuffification.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=3661
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.
