dissector call it through a handle, and make it static.
Give "dissect_data()" an "offset" argument, so dissectors can use it to
dissect part of the packet without having to cook up a new tvbuff.
Go back to using "dissect_data()" to dissect the data in an IPP request.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2651
dissector can get a "handle" for that dissector by name and then call
that dissector through the handle.
This allows dissectors that can't be called through a port table or a
heuristic table to be called from other dissectors without directly
referring to the dissector function - dynamically-loaded modules, under
Windows, cannot directly call functions in the main program, and
non-plugin dissectors are in the main program and thus cannot be called
from plugin dissectors unless either
1) a pointer to the dissector is put in the Big Transfer Vector
or
2) some other mechanism for getting a pointer to the dissector
is provided.
This mechanism could also support registering old-style dissectors and
calling them from new-style dissectors without the new-style dissector
having to do the argument translation itself (I didn't add support for
registering old-style dissectors because I'd prefer to have people
tvbuffify their code if they have to register a dissector...).
It could also, in the future, perhaps support
disabling of protocols;
setting "pinfo->current_proto";
inside "call_dissector()" - and inside "{old_}dissector_try_port()" and
"{old_"dissector_try_heuristic()" - allowing a pile of stuff that
currently has to be done in every dissector be done by common code.
(I have some ideas about how to do this, by
having "proto_register_protocol()" take an abbreviation - of the
sort that would be put in, for example, "pinfo->current_proto" -
as an argument;
having the calls to register dissectors take an index returned
by "proto_register_protocol()" as an argument.
The abbreviation could be used elsewhere as well, e.g. in the "Decoding"
tab of the "Edit->Protocols" dialog box, and in a GUI for constructing
protocol filters. Watch this space.)
Make "dissect_sdp()" the first client of this mechanism; it's now static
to "packet-sdp.c", and all dissectors that call it - including the MGCP
plugin - now call it through a dissector handle fetched by
"find_dissector()". (Next step - see if Ethereal can now compile on
Windows as a result of this.)

"plugins/Makefile.nmake" to build that plugin.
Add to the table of routines callable from plugins
"old_dissector_add()", "old_dissect_data()", and
"proto_is_protocol_enabled()", so that the Gryphon dissector can build
on Windows.
Move the includes of "plugins/plugin_api.h" and "moduleinfo.h" before
all the other includes, except for "config.h", in "plugin-mgcp.c", to
match what the Gryphon dissector does; "plugins_api.h" must be included
before any of the routines whose names it #defines in order for the
plugin to build on Windows. (It still doesn't build on Windows, as
still more routines need to be added to the table of routines callable
from plugins, but tomorrow is another day. Making libethereal a DLL may
obviate the need for that table, *if* all the routines called from a
plugin are in libethereal, as I think routines in a DLL, even a
run-time-loaded DLL, can call routines from another DLL as long as those
routines are exported from the other DLL.)

variables and a "dissector" routine, a "plugin_reg_handoff()" routine,
which will act just like the "reg_handoff()" routine of a non-plugin
dissector, registering the dissector with handoff tables.
This lets them plug into both TCP and UDP, or plug into protocols other
than TCP or UDP.
Those new-style plugin are enabled and disabled using the standard
"Edit->Protocols" mechanism (and thus should use
"OLD_CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA()" or "CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA()"); they don't
show up in the list of plugins, aren't enabled or disabled from that
list, and, as they don't have a filter, can't have the filter changed
from that list - instead, they should register preferences for port
numbers and the like if they should be configurable to use different
ports.
Make the Gryphon protocol a new-style plugin.

plugin is enabled -> disabled -> re-enabled due to the fact that
the protocol registration is performed at each plugin_init() call

Now we use the proto_xxx static variable to check if it is the first
activation or not (in this case, the proto_register_xxx routines are
not called.

- add <stdarg.h> or <varargs.h> in snprintf.h
and remove those inclusions in the other #ifdef NEED_SNPRINTF_H codes
- remove the check of multiple inclusions in source (.c) code
(there is a bit loss of _cpp_ performance, but I prefer the gain of
code reading and maintenance; and nowadays, disk caches and VM are
correctly optimized ;-).
- protect all (well almost) header files against multiple inclusions
- add header (i.e. GPL license) in some include files
- reorganize a bit the way header files are included:
First:
#include <system_include_files>
#include <external_package_include_files (e.g. gtk, glib etc.)>
Then
#include "ethereal_include_files"
with the correct HAVE_XXX or NEED_XXX protections.
- add some HAVE_XXX checks before including some system header files
- add the same HAVE_XXX in wiretap as in ethereal
Please forgive me, if I break something (I've only compiled and regression
tested on Linux).

the "proto_tree_add_XXX_format()" routines.
Replace most calls to "proto_tree_add_item()" and

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()"

they fetch the argument from the packet whose tvbuff was handed to them,
from the offset handed to them.

Convert all dissectors to pass NULL argument ("NullTVB" macro == NULL) as

exception is caught.
The FDDI dissector is converted to use tvbuff's.

register lists of "heuristic" dissectors, which are handed a
frame that may or may contain a payload for the protocol they
dissect, and that return FALSE if it's not or dissect the packet
and return TRUE if it is;
add a dissector to such a list;
go through such a list, calling each dissector until either a
dissector returns TRUE, in which case the routine returns TRUE,
or it runs out of entries in the list, in which case the routine
returns FALSE.
Have lists of heuristic dissectors for TCP and for COTP when used with
the Inactive Subset of CLNP, and add the GIOP and Yahoo Messenger
dissectors to the first list and the Sinec H1 dissector to the second
list.
Make the dissector name argument to "dissector_add()" and
"dissector_delete()" a "const char *" rarther than just a "char *".
Add "heur_dissector_add()", the routine to add a heuristic dissector to
a list of heuristic dissectors, to the set of routines we can export to
plugins through a table on platforms where dynamically-loaded code can't
call stuff in the main program, and initialize the element in the table
in question for "dissector_add()" (which we'd forgotten to do).

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.

The distro is buildable finally. I had to change "plugins/gryphon" from
a separately configured (i.e., "./configure") package to a member of
the main ethereal autoconf package so that PLUGIN_DIR could be passed
to plugins/gryphon/Makefile.am. In doing so, I had to get rid of
plugins/gryphon/config.h which had PACKAGE and VERSION #defined, the latter
of which was actually used in packet-gryphon.c. So I moved those two
#defines into a new file, plugins/gryphon/moduleinfo.h.
