"epan/..." pathnames, so as to avoid collisions with header files in any
of the directories in which we look (e.g., "proto.h", as some other
package has its own "proto.h" file which it installs in the top-level
include directory).
Don't add "-I" flags to search "epan", as that's no longer necessary
(and we want includes of "epan" headers to fail if the "epan/" is left
out, so that we don't re-introduce includes lacking "epan/").

items to the protocol tree; it's interpreted as "the rest of the data in
the tvbuff". This can be used if
1) the item covers the entire packet or the remaining payload in
the packet
or
2) the item's length won't be known until it's dissected, and
will be then set with "proto_item_set_len()" - if an
exception is thrown in the dissection, it means the item ran
*past* the end of the tvbuff, so saying it runs to the end of
the tvbuff is reasonable.
Convert a number of "proto_tree_add_XXX()" calls using
"tvb_length_remaining()", values derived from the result of
"tvb_length()", or 0 (in the case of items whose length is unknown) to
use -1 instead (using 0 means that if an exception is thrown, selecting
the item highlights nothing; using -1 means it highlights all the data
for that item that's available).
In some places where "tvb_length()" or "tvb_length_remaining()" was used
to determine how large a packet is, use "tvb_reported_length()" or
"tvb_reported_length_remaining()", instead - the first two calls
indicate how much captured data was in the packet, the latter two calls
indicate how large the packet actually was (and the fact that using the
latter could cause BoundsError exceptions to be thrown is a feature - if
such an exception is thrown, the frame really *was* short, and it should
be tagged as such).
Replace some "proto_tree_add_XXX()" calls with equivalent
"proto_tree_add_item()" calls.
Fix some indentation.

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.

This means that the conversation dissector is called through
"call_dissector()", so the dissector itself doesn't have to worry about
checking whether the protocol is enabled or setting
"pinfo->current_proto", so get rid of the code that does that in
conversation dissectors. Also, make the conversation dissectors static.
Get rid of some direct calls to dissectors; replace them with calls
through handles, and, again, get rid of code to check whether a protocol

Make those dissectors static if they aren't already static.
Add a routine "create_dissector_handle()" to create a dissector handle

Move the setting of the Protocol column in various dissectors before
anything is fetched from the packet, and also clear the Info column at
that point in those and some other dissectors, so that if an exception

"Tvbuffify" the Mobile IP dissector (it took old-style arguments, and
then converted them into tvbuff arguments, so there wasn't much to do,
other than to fix references to "fd" to refer to "pinfo->fd").
In the SCTP dissector, refer to the port type and source and destination
ports through "pinfo" rather than through the global "pi", as it's a
tvbuffified dissector.
In the SMTP and Time Protocol dissectors, use "pinfo->match_port" rather
than "TCP_PORT_SMTP" when checking whether the packet is a request or
reply, just in case somebody makes a non-standard port be dissected as
SMTP or Time. (Also, remove a bogus comment from the Time dissector; it
was probably cut-and-pasted from the TFTP dissector.)

"{old_}heur_dissector_add()", "{old_}conv_dissector_add()", and
"register_dissector()", so that an entry in those tables has associated
with it the protocol index of the protocol the dissector handles (or -1,
if there is no protocol index for it).
This is for future use in a number of places.
(Arguably, "proto_register_protocol()" should take a dissector pointer
as an argument, but
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
interdependencies
so I'm punting on that for now. As with other Ethereal internal APIs,
these APIs are subject to change in the future, at least until Ethereal

Change them to use facilities in Ethereal that were probably not present
when they were originally written, e.g. routines to fetch 24-bit
integers and to dump a bunch of raw bytes in hex.
Redo them to extract data from the packet as they dissect it, rather
than extracting an entire data structure at once; that way, it may be
able to dissect a structure not all of which is in the packet.
Dissect a bit more of the type-of-service metrics etc. in OSPF packets.
Make "tvb_length_remaining()" return a "gint", not a "guint"; it returns

from "tvb_reported_length()".

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).
Replace an END_OF_FRAME reference in a tvbuffified dissector with a

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.)

different transport protocols as appropriate including the Session
Announcement Protocol [4], Session Initiation Protocol [11], Real- Time
Streaming Protocol [12], electronic mail using the MIME extensions, and
the Hypertext Transport Protocol."
As such, it shouldn't set the protocol column to SDP, as that means
the protocol column won't indicate what the transport protocol was;
instead, it should append "/SDP" to the protocol column - RTSP was,
after calling "dissect_sdp()", setting the protocol column to
"RTSP/SDP", and this change means that all protocols using SDP will have
the protocol column set in that fashion, and that the RTSP dissector
doesn't have to explicitly set the protocol column to cause that to
happen.

Add "old_conversation_set_dissector()" and
"conversation_set_dissector()" routines to set the dissector for a
conversation, to hide the details of how that's done (e.g., details such
as whether there's a union at all - eventually, when all dissectors have
been tvbuffified, there won't be a need for the union - and what the
names of the union members are, and so on). Convert all dissectors to
use those routines (they had to be changed anyway, due to the name
change).

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.

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()".
