This parameter was introduced as a safeguard for bugs
that generate an unbounded string but its utility for
that purpose is doubtful and the way it is being used
creates problems with invalid truncation of UTF-8
strings.
Rename wmem_strbuf_sized_new() with a better name.
Currently the autocompletion engine always suggests a protocol
field completion, even in places where it isn't syntactically
valid.
Fix that by compiling the preamble to the token under the cursor
and checking the returned error. If it is DF_ERROR_UNEXPECTED_END
that indicates a field or literal value was expected. Otherwise
a field replacement is not valid in this position.
Fixes#12811.
Return an struct containing error information. This simplifies
the interface to more easily provide richer diagnostics in the future.
Add an error code besides a human-readable error string to allow
checking programmatically for errors in a robust manner. Currently
there is only a generic error code, it is expected to increase
in the future.
Move error location information to the struct. Change callers and
implementation to use the new interface.
Rename flex macros using parenthesis (mostly a style issue):
DIAG_OFF_FLEX -> DIAG_OFF_FLEX()
DIAG_ON_FLEX -> DIAG_ON_FLEX()
Use the same kind of construct with lemon generated code using
DIAG_OFF_LEMON() and DIAG_ON_LEMON(). Use %include and %code
directives to enforce the desired order with generated code
in the middle in between pragmas.
Fix a clang-specific pragma to use DIAG_OFF_CLANG().
DIAG_OFF(unreachable-code) -> DIAG_OFF_CLANG(unreachable-code).
Apparently GCC is ignoring the -Wunreachable flag, that's why
it did not trigger an unknown pragma warning. From [1}:
The -Wunreachable-code has been removed, because it was unstable: it
relied on the optimizer, and so different versions of gcc would warn
about different code. The compiler still accepts and ignores the
command line option so that existing Makefiles are not broken. In some
future release the option will be removed entirely. - Ian

Instead of using the abstract type "<RAW>", which might be confusing,
show FT_BYTES, but display the representation with the "@" operator,
so it's not even more confusing in error messages why a field might
flip-flop types.
Refactor the field tostr() function and some other clean ups.
Before:
```
Filter: _ws.ftypes.string ==${@frame.len}
dftest: _ws.ftypes.string and frame.len <RAW> are not of compatible types.
_ws.ftypes.string ==${@frame.len}
^~~~~~~~~
```
After:
```
Filter: _ws.ftypes.string ==${@frame.len}
dftest: _ws.ftypes.string <FT_STRING> and @frame.len <FT_BYTES> are not of compatible types.
_ws.ftypes.string ==${@frame.len}
^~~~~~~~~
```
Extends raw adressing syntax to wok with references. The syntax
is
@field1 == ${@field2}
This requires replicating the logic to load field references, but
using raw values instead. We use separate hash tables for that,
namely "references" vs "raw_references".
This adds new syntax to read a field from the tree as bytes, instead
of the actual type. This is a useful extension for example to match
matformed strings that contain unicode replacement characters. In
this case it is not possible to match the raw value of the malformed
string field. This extension fills this need and is generic enough
that it should be useful in many other situations.
The syntax used is to prefix the field name with "@". The following
artificial example tests if the HTTP user agent contains a particular
invalid UTF-8 sequence:
@http.user_agent == "Mozill\xAA"
Where simply using "http.user_agent" won't work because the invalid byte
sequence will have been replaced with U+FFFD.
Considering the following programs:
$ dftest '_ws.ftypes.string == "ABC"'
Filter: _ws.ftypes.string == "ABC"
Syntax tree:
0 TEST_ANY_EQ:
1 FIELD(_ws.ftypes.string <FT_STRING>)
1 FVALUE("ABC" <FT_STRING>)
Instructions:
00000 READ_TREE _ws.ftypes.string <FT_STRING> -> reg#0
00001 IF_FALSE_GOTO 3
00002 ANY_EQ reg#0 == "ABC" <FT_STRING>
00003 RETURN
$ dftest '@_ws.ftypes.string == "ABC"'
Filter: @_ws.ftypes.string == "ABC"
Syntax tree:
0 TEST_ANY_EQ:
1 FIELD(_ws.ftypes.string <RAW>)
1 FVALUE(41:42:43 <FT_BYTES>)

00001 IF_FALSE_GOTO 3
00002 ANY_EQ reg#0 == 41:42:43 <FT_BYTES>
00003 RETURN
In the second case the field has a "raw" type, that equates directly to
FT_BYTES, and the field value is read from the protocol raw data.
We amend the :<numeric> pattern to not eat the leading
colon. Because the colon can be part of the value (with IPv6 addresses
for example) we want to avoid doing that.
IPv6 addresses are covered by their own rules but this removes the
requirement in the future to handle any special cases and avoids
surprises.
For this reason the colon-prefix syntax is already explicitly defined to
work only for byte arrays and there is currently no universal
syntax for all literal values or even all numbers.
Other numbers can keep using the lexical type "unparsed".

The <...> syntax for literals, intended to be as generic as
possible, unintentionally introduced an ambiguity with the
relational expression "a < b or a > c".
Literals are values like numbers, bytes, IPv6 addresses or, one
could imagine, UNC paths for example, if an FT_UNC type were to
be added in the future.
We could use a new unique symbol like @...@ but the <...>
syntax is very recent and may not be necessary with ":xxx" so
just remove it.
A byte array can be explicitly declared by prefixing with a colon. It
is not as generic but the main ambiguity that this new syntax attempted
to solve is bytes vs protocol names. We don't want to introduce a new
reserved symbol for now, until other requirements if any are more clear.
Fixes#18418.
Do the first ftype-can check in an arithmetic expressions before
evaluating the second term to be sure we do not allow FT_NONE as a
valid LHS ftype.

dftest: FT_NONE cannot +.

Passing a literal value to abs() on the LHS segfaults, because it
is incorrectly assumed to be a valid field.
We need to check if we actually have a field. While at it improve
the diagnostic of literals.

All/any equal have their own symbols for operators so cannot
be handled in the same switch case.
Other comparisons don't have different symbols for any/all.
Allow checking if a slice exists. The result is true if the
slice has length greater than zero.
The len() function is implemented as a DFVM instruction instead.
The semantics are the same.
This removes unparsed name resolution during the semantic
check because it feels like a hack to work around limitations
in the language syntax, that should be solved at the lexical
level instead.
We were interpreting unparsed differently on the LHS and RHS.
Now an unparsed value is always a field if it matches a
registered field name (this matches the implementation in 3.6
and before).
This requires tightening a bit the allowed filter names for
protocols to avoid some common and potentially weird conflicting
cases.
Incidentally this extends set grammar to accept all entities.
That is experimental and may be reverted in the future.
This adds support for using the layers filter
with field references.

This requires adding another level of complexity to references.
When loading references we need to copy the 'proto_layer_num'
and add the logic to filter on that.
The "layer" sttype is removed and replace by a new
field sttype with support for a range. This is a nice
cleanup for the semantic check and general simplification.
The grammar is better too with this design.
Range sttype is renamed to slice for clarity.

Add support to display filters for matching a specific layer within a frame.
Layers are counted sequentially up the protocol stack. Each protocol
(dissector) that appears in the stack is one layer.
LINK-LAYER#1 <-> IP#1 <-> TCP#1 <-> IP#2 <-> TCP#2 <-> etc.
The syntax allows for negative indexes and ranges with the usual semantics
for slices (but note that counting starts at one):
tcp.port#[2-4] == 1024
Matches layers 2 to 4 inclusive.
Fixes#3791.
The word range is used for different things with different
meanings and that is confusing. Avoid using "range" in code to
mean "slice".
A range is one or more intervals with a lower and upper bound.
A slice is a range applied to a bytes field.
Replace range with slice wherever appropriate. This usage of
"slice" instead of range is generally correct and consistent in
the documentation.
This allows writing moderately complex expressions, for example

We now use a stack to pass arguments to the function. The
stack is implemented as a list of lists (list of registers).
Arguments may still be non-existent to functions (this is
a feature). Functions must check for nil arguments (NULL lists)
and handle that case.
It's somewhat complicated to allow literal values and test compatibility
for different types, both because of lack of type information with
unparsed/literal and also because it is an underdeveloped area in the
code. In my limited testing it was good enough and useful, further
enhancements are left for future work.
Changes the function calling convention to pass the first register
number plus the number of registers after that sequentially. This
allows function with any number of arguments. Functions can still
only return one value.
Adds max() and min() function to select the maximum/minimum value
from any number of arguments, all of the same type. The functions
accept literals too. The return type is the same as the first argument
(cannot be a literal).
Instead of using a heuristic to decide whether the form ${...} is
a macro or not, try to resolve the name to a registered protocol
field and use that instead.
This increases somewhat the surface for clobbering existing macro
names with new field registrations but we'll cross that bridge when
we get to it.
Rejecting protocol field types reduces this probability again but it
may not be intuitive to the user trying to mistakenly use a reference
to a protocol why it is parsed as a macro. The reasons for rejecting
FT_PROTOCOL types as not interesting field references are not
very strong but it seems reasonable.

Add location tracking as a column offset and length from offset

error in the filter string. Later it would be nice to use the location
in the GUI as well.

Revert to passing a syntax node from the lexical scanner to the grammar
parser. Using a union is not having a discernible advantage and requires
duplicating a lot of properties of syntax nodes.
This removes the limitation of having only two terms in an
arithmetic expression and allows setting the precedence using
curly braces (like any basic calculator).
Our grammar currently does not allow grouping arithmetic expressions
using parenthesis, because boolean expressions and arithmetic
expressions are different and parenthesis are used with the former.
Instead of saying a leading colon will make any token a literal
value, say it is part of the syntax of bytes arrays. This is
useful to write bytes without a separator, and other potentially
ambiguous formats.
The restriction in meaning to bytes and simple numeric values
should make the rules for handling a leading colon (specifically
ommiting it or not) saner without much loss of functionality.
When retrying fvalue_from_literal() we were leaking the error
message string.
Refactor the code to avoid the retry. This assumes the only
valid use of a leading ':' with a literal is for an IPv6 address.
Bytes with leading ':' are supported but the colon is skipped,
so the parser doesn't see it.
Fixes df0fc8b517.
Fix parsing of some IPv6 addresses and add tests.
Also pass tokens as unparsed unless the user was specfic about
the semantic type. For example the IPv4 address 1.1.1.1 is also a
valid field, but 1.1.1.1/128 is not (because of the slash). However
choose not to enforce the distinction in the lexical scanner and pass
everything as unparsed unless the meaning is explicit in the syntax
with leading dot, colon, or between angle branckets.
Restores support for filters such as "mac-lte", that was broken
in 330d408328.
This means we are not able to support arithmetic expressions with binary
minus without spaces.
$ dftest 'tcp.port == 1-2'
dftest: "1-2" is not a valid number.
After some experimentation I don't think these two existence tests
belong in the grammar, it's an implementation detail and removing it
might avoid some artificial constraints.
Add argument to dfilter_compile_real() to save syntax tree text
representation.
Use it with dftest to print syntax tree.
Misc debug output format improvements.
To allow an arithmetic expressions without spaces, such as "1+2",
we cannot match the expression in other lexical rules using "+". Because
of longest match this becomes the token LITERAL or UNPARSED with semantic value
"1+2". The same goes for all the other arithmetic operators.
So we need to remove [+-*/%] from "word chars" and add very specific
patterns (that won't mistakenly match an arithmetic expression) for
those literal or unparsed tokens we want to support using these characters.
The plus was not a problem but right slash is used for CIDR, minus for
mac address separator, etc.
There are still some corner case. 11-22-33-44-55-66 is a mac
address and not the arithmetic expression with six terms "eleven
minus twenty two minus etc." (if we ever support more than two terms
in the grammar, which we don't currently).
We lift some patterns from the flex manual to match on IPv4 and
IPv6 (ugly) and add MAC address.
Other hypothetical literal lexical values using [+-*/%] are already
supported enclosed in angle brackets but the cases of MAC/IPv4/IPv6 are
are very common and moreover we need to do the utmost to not break backward
compatibily here.

Fix a failed assertion with constant arithmetic expressions.
Because we do not parse constants on the lexical level it is
more complicated to handle constant expressions with unparsed
values.
We need to handle missing type information gracefully for any
kind of arithmetic expression, not just unary minus.
Add support for display filter binary addition and subtraction.
The grammar is intentionally kept simple for now. The use case
is to add a constant to a protocol field, or (maybe) add two
fields in an expression.
We use signed arithmetic with unsigned numbers, checking for
overflow and casting where necessary to do the conversion.
We could legitimately opt to use traditional modular arithmetic
instead (like C) and if it turns out that that is more useful for
some reason we may want to in the future.
Fixes#15504.
By the time we are using the reference fvalue the tree may have gone
away and with it the fvalue. We need to duplicate the reference
fvalues and take ownership of the memory.
This replaces the current macro reference system with
a completely different implementation. Instead of a macro a reference
is a syntax element. A reference is a constant that can be filled
in the dfilter code after compilation from an existing protocol tree.
It is best understood as a field value that can be read from a fixed
tree that is not the frame being filtered. Usually this fixed tree
is the currently selected frame when the filter is applied. This
allows comparing fields in the filtered frame with fields in the
selected frame.
Because the field reference syntax uses the same sigil notation
as a macro we have to use a heuristic to distinguish them:
if the name has a dot it is a field reference, otherwise
it is a macro name.
The reference is synctatically validated at compile time.
There are two main advantages to this implementation (and a couple of
minor ones):
The protocol tree for each selected frame is only walked if we have a
display filter and if the display filter uses references. Also only the
actual reference values are copied, intead of loading the entire tree
into a hash table (in textual form even).
The other advantage is that the reference is tested like a protocol
field against all the values in the selected frame (if there is more
than one).
Currently the reference fields are not "primed" during dissection, so
the entire tree is walked to find a particular reference (this is
similar to the previous implementation).
If the display filter contains a valid reference and the reference is
not loaded at the time the filter is run the result is the same as a
non existing field for a regular READ_TREE instruction.
Fixes#17599.
This usage devalues a mechanism for warning users that deserves more
attention than this minor suggestion.
The warning is inconvenient for intermediate and advanced users.

Add support for masking of bits. Before the bitwise operator
could only test bits, it did not support clearing bits.
This allows testing if any combination of bits are set/unset
more naturally with a single test. Previously this was only
possible by combining several bitwise predicates.
Bitwise is implemented as a test node, even though it is not.
Maybe the test node should be renamed to something else.
Fixes#17246.
The DFVM instructions arguments are generic boxed types but instead
of using FVALUE and PCRE types the code passes aroung REGISTER types
instead. Change that to pass constants in the instruction.
