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.

- 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).

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()".

a particular type, rather than taking a varargs list, along the lines of
the "proto_tree_add_XXX_format()" routines.
Replace most calls to "proto_tree_add_item()" and
"proto_tree_add_item_hidden()" with calls to those routines.
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()"
routines that don't take the item to be added as an argument - instead,
they fetch the argument from the packet whose tvbuff was handed to them,
from the offset handed to them.

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.

UDP and into the handoff registration routines for the protocols in
question.
Make the dissectors for those protocols static if they're not called
outside the dissector's source file.
Get rid of header files if all they did was declare dissectors that are
now static; remove declarations of now-static dissectors from header
files that do more than just declare the dissector.

proto_tree_add_protocol_format()
proto_tree_add_uint_format()
proto_tree_add_ipxnet_format()
proto_tree_add_ipv4_format()
proto_tree_add_ipv6_format()
proto_tree_add_bytes_format()
proto_tree_add_string_format()
proto_tree_add_ether_format()
proto_tree_add_time_format()
proto_tree_add_double_format()
proto_tree_add_boolean_format()
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.
Fixed a proto_tree_add_item_format-related bug in packet-isis-hello.c
Fixed a variable usage bug in packet-v120.c. (ett_* was used instead of hf_*)
Checked in Guy's fix for the function declearation for proto_tree_add_text()
and proto_tree_add_notext().

if it's stratum 0 or 1, use "memcmp()" to compare it against the
strings in our table, rather than assuming it's aligned on a
4-byte boundary and doing an integral comparison - neither of
the strings being compared are necessarily so aligned - and, if
it doesn't match any of them, include the value in the
"Unidentified reference source" description;
if it's stratum 2 or higher, extract the value with "pntohl()"
before interpreting it as an IP address - IP addresses are in
network byte order, and, again, it's not necessarily neatly
aligned on a 4-byte boundary.

dynamically-assigned "ett_" integer values, assigned by
"proto_register_subtree_array()"; this:
obviates the need to update "packet.h" whenever you add a new
subtree type - you only have to add a call to
"proto_register_subtree_array()" to a "register" routine and an
array of pointers to "ett_", if they're not already there, and
add a pointer to the new "ett_" variable to the array, if they
are there;
would allow run-time-loaded dissectors to allocate subtree types
when they're loaded.
