of shifting x right 3 bits and then left 3 bits, which is the same as
masking out the low-order 3 bits, and x - (8*x/8) is the result of
subtracting all but the low-order 3 bits from x, thus it's the lower 3

does, but explicitly declare it as such, to make it clearer that it is,

don't assign the output of pntoh24() to a gint16
unfortunately, vwr detection does not work reliably and many pdf files
are recognized as vwr - this commit should prevent wireshark from
crashing when it tries to load the USB 2.0 spec as pdf ;-)

and assign float constants, not double constants, to float variables.
Floating-point constants are double by default; you have to add "f" to
the end to make them float.
This squelches 64-bit-to-32-bit warnings.

This was the 4th patch, but also:
- use gmalloc0() to allocate vwr struct. Otherwise, valgrind says that
many of fields were still uninitialised when parse_s1_W_stats later
read them
- whitespace tidyup, got rid of remaining tabs and trailing whitespace
Did a fair bit of fuzz-testing without seeing any problems.

as the "where to put the packet data" argument.
This lets more of the libwiretap code be common between the read and
seek-read code paths, and also allows for more flexibility in the "fill
in the data" path - we can expand the buffer as needed in both cases.

Check that the record length we got out of the file is at least as big as
stats block trailer; if not, declare the file bad.

wtap_file_read_expected_bytes() from an open routine - open routines are
supposed to return -1 on error, 0 if the file doesn't appear to be a
file of the specified type, or 1 if the file does appear to be a file of
the specified type, but those macros will cause the caller to return
FALSE on errors (so that, even if there's an I/O error, it reports "the
file isn't a file of the specified type" rather than "we got an error
trying to read the file").
When doing reads in an open routine before we've concluded that the file
is probably of the right type, return 0, rather than -1, if we get
WTAP_ERR_SHORT_READ - if we don't have enough data to check whether a
file is of a given type, we should keep trying other types, not give up.
For reads done *after* we've concluded the file is probably of the right
type, if a read doesn't return the number of bytes we asked for, but
returns an error of 0, return WTAP_ERR_SHORT_READ - the file is
apparently cut short.
For NetMon and NetXRay/Windows Sniffer files, use a #define for the
magic number size, and use that for both magic numbers.

(read a record header) from failure (got an EOF or an error). Make it
just return a Boolean.
If it fails in vwr_read(), don't overwrite *err_info (yes,
vwr_read_rec_header() might have set *err_info, so don't lose - and
leak! - the value it returned) - trust vwr_read_rec_header(), or the
routines it calls, to have set it. (If there's a code path where that
doesn't happen, that code path needs to be fixed; the setting of
*err_info in vwr_read() should *not* be restored.)
Thanks to Evan Huus for finding a useless variable with cppcheck, and
reporting it in bug 7295, provoking me to look at this.

which could use lseek() and were thus expensive due to system call
overhead. To avoid making a system call for every packet on a
sequential read, we maintained a data_offset field in the wtap structure
for sequential reads.
It's now a routine that just returns information from the FILE_T data
structure, so it's cheap. Use it, rather than maintaining the data_offset
field.
Readers for some file formats need to maintain file offset themselves;
have them do so in their private data structures.
