conversation it found has no data associated with it; this is a
workaround for a problem that shows up if a conversation is between two
ports both of which have protocols associated with them - in that case,
frames going in one direction might be dissected by one of those
dissectors, and frames going in the other direction might be dissected
by the other dissector, causing untold confusion.
We really need to associate dissectors with conversations as soon as the
conversation is created, so that all packets will be handled by the same
dissector. (The SOCKS dissector now does that.)

"{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.

ESIS dissectors.
Register the IP dissector and have dissectors that call it directly
(rather than through a port table) call it through a handle.
Add a routine "tvb_set_reported_length()" which a dissector can use if
it was handed a tvbuff that contains more data than is actually in its
part of the packet - for example, handing a padded Ethernet frame to IP;
the routine sets the reported length of the tvbuff (and also adjusts the
actual length, as appropriate). Then use it in IP.
Given that, "ethertype()" can determine how much of the Ethernet frame
was actually part of an IP datagram (and can do the same for other
protocols under Ethernet that use "tvb_set_reported_length()"; have it
return the actual length, and have "dissect_eth()" and "dissect_vlan()"
use that to mark trailer data in Ethernet II frames as well as in 802.3
frames.

"dissector" union in the "conversation_t" structure to "old_d" and
"new_d", to avoid using a C++ reserved word.
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.

- 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()".

Use "IS_DATA_IN_FRAME()", rather than checking if "offset+1" is greater
than "pi.captured_len", to check whether there's any data left in the
packet.

of the packet, use "pi.captured_len" - "fd->pkt_len" may include data
that isn't in the capture, due to a short snapshot length.
Don't use "fd->cap_len" when checking to see if you've run off the end
of the packe, use "pi.captured_len" - "fd->cap_len" isn't adjusted to
reflect any length fields, but "pi.captured_len" is (removing, for
example, Ethernet padding from the packet).
Use "END_OF_FRAME" rather than "pi.captured_len - offset", to make it a
bit clearer what's being done.
In the V.120 dissector, use "tvb_length()" when adding the top-level
protocol tree entry for V.120, as it's a tvbuffified dissector.

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.
