This works between C and Lua.
In C the pinfo.private_table pointer must be initialized using
g_hash_table_new (g_str_hash, g_str_equal);
In Lua the values are available using pinfo.private.<key>, and the
table is created automatically on first usage. It's possible to use
this datatypes: nil, boolean, number and string, but every value
is converted to string so numbers must be converted using tonumber()
on usage. Boolean is either nil or an empty string.

This object can be used to retreive other absolute and relative time fields,
create and modify nstime_t values and put generated time values in the tree.
Also added ProtoField.absolute_time and ProtoField.relative_time.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=38616
Added ability to display UTC time or UTC time with date. I liked having the
difference between UTC and local time, not just setting local=UTC.

col_set_str simply stores the pointer passed to it, and luaL_checkstring
returns a temporary pointer. Changing col_set_str to col_add_str in
Columns_newindex seems to fix the issue.

keys to have _uint in their names, to match the routines that handle
dissector tables with string keys. (Using _port can confuse people into
thinking they're intended solely for use with TCP/UDP/etc. ports when,
in fact, they work better for things such as Ethernet types, where the
binding of particular values to particular protocols are a lot
stronger.)

The Lua text string passed to column:set(text) by a dissector will eventually
be reclaimed. This causes the column to display incorrect characters.

Pull function names to column 0 - except when necessary for autoregistration.
Put function comments before the function.
For readability, put the macros for functions before the function too.
Put class functions before the class.

We fill out the COL_DSTIDX column by using 'pinfo->dst_idx'. This member is only set by the MDS Header dissector based on 'mdshdr.dstidx'. So remove COL_DSTIDX and migrate to 'mdshdr.dstidx' custom column.

We fill out the COL_SRCIDX column by using 'pinfo->src_idx'. This member is only set by the MDS Header dissector based on 'mdshdr.srcidx'. So remove COL_SRCIDX and migrate to 'mdshdr.srcidx' custom column.

We fill out the COL_RXID column by using 'pinfo->rxid'. This member is only set by the Fibre Channel dissector based on 'fc.rx_id'. So remove COL_RXID and migrate to 'fc.rx_id' custom column.

We fill out the COL_OXID column by using 'pinfo->oxid'. This member is only set by the Fibre Channel dissector based on 'fc.ox_id'. So remove COL_OXID and migrate to 'fc.ox_id' custom column.

Use correct modifier for converting gint64 and guint64 to string.
Added __gc for Int64 and UInt64.
Fixed some indents.

Update Lua documentation:
- Fixed Pref.enum, Pref.range and Pref.statictext
- Fixed the equivalent comment for pinfo.cols
- Do not have a comment star (*) in the documentation
- Be consistent and start all sentences with a capital letter

Fix for https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2453
The patch fixes the problem by extending the original "outstanding stuff"
approach.
Now the pointer itself won't be NULLified, instead we track the pointers with
their expiry state in structs in the outstanding_stuff list.
The Lua objects refers to those structs instead of the actual pointers and
checks the expiry state of the pointers before accessing them.
The pointers are marked expired when the dissection of the frame is finished
and the allocated struct is freed by Lua's garbage collector.
If the garbage collector hits the struct when it holds a not expired pointer,
it marks it as expired (that means we don't have any object in Lua referring to
the pointer) and the struct will be freed at the end of the dissection of the
frame.
this is for the 1.0 branch

The luaL_reg structure consists of two pointers: char* and a pointer to a function.
The last entry should also reflect this: it should be { NULL, NULL } instead of { 0, 0 }.

Fix for bug #491: Unexpected frame.time_delta behavior
This patch ... fixes bug 491. It does this by changing the
behaviour of the frame.time_delta field so it reflects the delta
time between captured packets (tshark already did this). To keep
the delta time between displayed packets, the field
frame.time_delta_displayed is created.

pinfo.curr_proto appeared as pinfo.match
pinfo.columns in the refman was pinfo.cols in lua (now it is both in lua and in refman)

Add more documentation to the code.
change make-dco.pl so that it creates more readable docbook output.
This should be copied over to 0.99.4
svn path=/trunk/; revision=19670
- remove data_ref where it is not used anymore (callbacks won't pass userdata as this ius better done using lua's closures)
- have TextWindow:set_editable() using its argument
- add wslua_optbool(L,n,d) to pull an optional boolean from the stack
- several fixes to docbook generation (now it compiles!)
