statements.
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
is thrown, the columns don't reflect the previous protocol.
Don't use
col_add_fstr(..., "%s", string);
Use
col_add_str(..., string);
as it does the same thing, but doesn't drag all the heavy *printf
machinery in.
Fix the DDTP dissector to set the Info column regardless of whether
we're building a protocol tree or not, and to set it to "Encrypted
payload" if the payload is encrypted. Also fix a typo in a field name.
Register the FTP data dissector as being associated with the FTP data
protocol, not the FTP protocol (the removed "CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA()"
call checked "proto_ftp_data", and the removed "pinfo->current_proto ="
line set it to "FTP-DATA", so it should be associated with
"proto_ftp_data").
Make the H1 dissector check whether the frame has at least 2 bytes in it
before checking the first two bytes; heuristic dissectors must not throw
exceptions until they've accepted the packet as one of theirs.
Use "tvb_format_text()" rather than "tvb_get_ptr()" and "format_text()"
in some dissectors where the result of "tvb_get_ptr()" is used only in
the "format_text()" call.
In the Quake dissector, don't check whether there are at least 4 bytes
in the packet - if we return, the packet won't be dissected at all (it's
not as if some other dissector will get to handle it), and, if we don't
return, we'll throw an exception if there aren't at least 4 bytes in the
packet, so the packet will be marked as short or malformed, as
appropriate.
In the RIPng dissector, associate the table of strings for the command
field with the command field, so that the dissector doesn't have to
format the string for the protocol tree entry itself, and so that the
filter construction dialog box can let you select "Request" or
"Response" from a list rather than requiring you to know the values for
"Request" and "Response".
Make "dissect_rpc()" static, as it's called only through a heuristic
dissector list.
Use "col_set_str()" to set the COL_PROTOCOL column for RPC protocols;
the string used is from a table provided by the dissector, and is a
string constant.
Don't format the Info column for WSP into a buffer and then format that
buffer into the column with "%s" - "col_add_fstr()" can do the
formatting for you, without having to allocate your own buffer (or run
through the *printf machinery twice).
Don't fetch fields from the WTP packet until you're ready to use them,
so that you don't throw an exception before you even set the Protocol
column or clear the Info column.
Use "pinfo->destport", not "pi.destport", in the Zebra dissector when
checking whether the packet is a request or reply, and do the check by
comparing with "pinfo->match_port" rather than TCP_PORT_ZEBRA (so that
if the dissector is ever registered on another port, it still correctly
determines whether the packet is a request or reply - the Network
Monitor HTTP dissector has port 80 wired into its brain, which is a bit
irritating if you're trying to get it to dissect HTTP proxy traffic on
port 3128 or proxy administration UI traffic on port 3132).

"{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
1.0 comes out....)

protocols, in addition to adding structures to the list of filterable
fields. Give it an extra argument that specifies a "short name" for the
protocol, for use in such places as
pinfo->current_proto;
the dialog box for constructing filters;
the preferences tab for the protocol;
and so on (although we're not yet using it in all those places).
Make the preference name that appears in the preferences file and the
command line for the DIAMETER protocol "diameter", not "Diameter"; the
convention is that the name in question be all-lower-case.
Make some routines and variables that aren't exported static.
Update a comment in the ICP dissector to make it clear that the
dissector won't see fragments other than the first fragment of a
fragmented datagram.

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
"tvb_length(tvb)" call.
