2015-06-25Plugin Interface: Add GUI callbacksRoland Knall1-3/+23
Rename ext_menubar to a more appropriate plugin_if. External menus can be implemented by plugins to present additional menus for deep-packet analysis. One side-effect of such menus being implemented as plugins is, that they are being executed in different threads and therefore can only use limited access to the main GUI. Also, there is no safe cross-gui (GTK and Qt) way for many features. This patch implements a first functionality, by which a plugin implemented using ext_menubar can apply a display filter to the main view. For now the implementation supports filtering, as well as saving a preference.

2015-04-14UI: Implementing menus for pluginsRoland Knall1-0/+47
Plugins may utilize the tap interface to provide special tools or analysis options, not otherwise available in Wireshark, or perhaps not allowed to be distributed freely. Up until now, those tools either had to start automatically, or could not be started at all, or had to be started separately. It should be possible, that those tools may be started using a menu entry directly from Wireshark. This interface tries to achieve exactly that. This interface uses a clean interface, which can be implemented in any plugin or dissector. Documentation for this has been added to README.plugins. Separators are only supported for now in the Qt interface, but URLs can now be added as a simple item, and the UI will use the same methods used for other URL calls to open them.

2013-07-03WS_DLL_PUBLIC is now always WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN with "extern" added;Guy Harris1-1/+1
just define WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN inside the ifdefs, and define WS_DLL_PUBLIC as WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN followed by "extern". Then rename WS_DLL_PUBLIC_NOEXTERN to WS_DLL_PUBLIC_DEF, to clarify that it's what should be used for definitions; at least on Windows, you *have* to use it when declaring arrays without a size, and, whilst you might be able to use WS_DLL_PUBLIC for definitions of functions and perhaps data definitions other than no-size arrays, it might be clearer to rename WS_DLL_PUBLIC to WS_DLL_PUBLIC_DECL and use it only for declarations. svn path=/trunk/; revision=50334

Introduce a new init routine for plugins, which does not take the plugin api table as an argument and allows etheral to distinguish between plugins using the old and the new api. Update README.plugins accordingly Change all g_warnings() in epan/plugins.c to report_failue().
