a request or reply; make its return value "gboolean", and have it just
return TRUE or FALSE. Also make an array index variable unsigned, to
squelch a GCC warning.

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.
"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
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.

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.

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.)

Protocol and Info columns, there's no longer any need for the SIP
dissector to make the columns non-writable - SDP won't trash what SIP
put there.

Add "tvb_find_line_end_unquoted()" for the benefit of the SDP dissector;
get rid of "find_line_end_unquoted()" as nobody uses it any more.
Add "tvb_pbrk_guint8()" for the benefit of
"tvb_find_line_end_unquoted()"; it searches for any of a number of
characters, unlike "tvb_find_guint8()" which searches for only one.
