0ca67aef30 - new ptvcursor subtrees management functions :
* ptvcursor_push_subtree(), ptvcursor_pop_subtree() for pushing/popping
    subtrees. Multiple levels of subtrees (256 max.), allocation per 8 levels.
  * Two new functions creating an item in the tree and pushing a subtree at the
    same time. These two functions accept an undefined length
    (SUBTREE_UNDEFINED_LENGTH). The length of the item is set at the next pop.
        1) ptvcursor_add_with_subtree
	2) ptvcursor_add_text_with_subtree
- get rid of potential memory leaks with g_new in ptvcursor_new().

- Documentation of the new ptvcursor functions in README.developer

62596bffb3 Fix bug 552:
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=552

by enforcing that header fields have names of length > 0.  This should fix
the display of those fields and also make them filterable (which was the
subject of the bug).  Abbreviations are (still) optional: if they are empty
then the field is not filterable.

Update README.developer with this information.

Add header field names in several dissectors where they were missing.

In packet-arp.c give "packet-storm-detected" a name (as above) but also set it
as _GENERATED.

Also remove trailing white space from all the files checked in.

88a508d407 From Richard van der Hoff:
I've had a good look at the code in packet-tcp.c, and whilst it's
somewhat impenetrable, I've come to the conclusion that it just doesn't
support multiple pdus as described.

That's not entirely unreasonable in itself; my objection is solely to
the fact that README.developer is completely misleading. In fact, even
the example dissect_cstr won't work on the tcp dissector, because if you
set desegment_len=1 the tcp dissector believes that you know what you
are doing and doesn't let you change your mind later.

Furthermore, 2.7.2 says that you can set desegment_len=-1; that doesn't
work either, because the tcp dissector expects
DESEGMENT_ONE_MORE_SEGMENT, which is 0x0fffffff, which is nowhere near -1.

In short, I think the relevant section of README.developer needs a
rewrite. I attach a patch - comments welcome.

aa897723ff From Sebastien Tandel:
Here is an updated patch for proto_tree_add_item and the
range_string structure. The new macro RVALS() can be used as the macro
VALS() in the declaration of your hf_register_info with another
structure (range_string).  Be aware that you *have to* ORed the value of
the field display with BASE_RANGE_STRING constant and it can 'only' be
used with FT_(U)INT* types in a header_field_info.

Create two new files (ws_strsplit.[ch]) that use GTK2 code to override
the buggy g_strsplit() function when compiling for GTK1.  Include this
work-around function (ws_strsplit) in libwireshark.def.  Add notes on usage
to README.developer.  Include epan/ws_strsplit.h in all files that use
g_strsplit().

e4e739a5ca From Graham Bloice:
In the Developers Guide, Section 9.3, Example 9.17. Decompressing data
packets for dissection

The code calls tvb_set_free_cb() for the newly created next_tvb.  This
is unnecessary as the call to tvb_set_child_real_data() adds next_tvb to
the chained list of tvb, thus ensuring that next_tvb is correctly
deleted.  In fact when I had the call in, Visual Studio kept breaking
deep down in ntdll.dll, probably because of a double free every time the
main tvb was deleted.

In README.developer, para 2..2.7 The example conversation code doesn't
assign the result of conversation_new() back into the conversation variable.

c980cede98 From Francesco Fondelli:
I defined a range_string struct. It's like value_string
but stores range <-> string pairs.
Moreover I wrote rval_to_str(), match_strrval_idx()
match_strrval() which are behaving exactly as
val_to_str(), match_strval_idx() and match_strval().

09078377d9 Change to show how to write a 'new style' dissector (that is, one that returns the number of bytes it was able to dissect). I think the Developer's Guide (docbook/) probably needs similar updates but I'm a bit shy about editing XML with good old vi; maybe if I can figure out if I can build the doc in the first place... Also rewrap a few pararaphs that went past 80 columns.

9bf2e75f68 If you're doing TCP reassembly by hand rather than with
tcp_dissect_pdus(), pinfo->desegment_len indicates whether your
dissector needs more data from TCP or not - the return value doesn't
indicate that.

Fix typo.

It appears that the Id keyword is one of the case-insensitive ones in
the svn:keywords property, so if you set it to "ID" it still expands
"$Id$"; it also appears not to expand "$ID$".  We use Revision, Date,
and Author in the document to indicate the revision, and don't expand
Id, so that references to "$Id$" get left alone.

Rewrap paragraphs.
