2014-03-14Add Lua heuristic dissector supportHadriel Kaplan1-4/+6
This adds the ability for Lua scripts to register heuristic dissectors for any protocol that has registered a heuristic dissector list, such as UDP, TCP, and ~50 others. The Lua function can also establish a conversation tied to its Proto dissector, to avoid having to check the heuristics for the same flow. The example dissector in the testsuite has also been enhanced to include a heuristic dissector, to verify the functionality and provide an example implementation.

Do with tvb_get_stringz() what was done with tvb_get_string(). Redo the comments for the string get routines to try to give more detail in a fashion that's a bit less hard to read. Warn, in comments, of the problems with using tvb_get_string()/tvb_get_stringz() (i.e., if your strings are non-ASCII, all bytes with the 8th bit set are going be replaced by the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, and displayed as such). Warn, in a comment, of the problems with tvb_get_const_stringz() (i.e., it gives you raw bytes, rather than guaranteed-to-be-valid UTF-8). Update documentation and release notes appropriately.

2014-02-21Fix bug 9790: Lua: wslua allows duplicate field registrationHadriel Kaplan1-5/+9
As discussed in bug 3513 and 9709, one can register more than one new ProtoFields for the same field name. Of course C-code can do that too, and does a LOT apparently, but if they're not similar ftypes then things can get scrweed up in display filters. So this change prevents duplicate field registration of dissimilar ftypes. The similarity is based on the discussion on the mailing list, and the listing in README.developer has been updated to refelect that as well. Also, this change adds a testscript for Proto/ProtoFields.

Spawned from https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201402/msg00024.html Add some ignore rules for files that can't/shouldn't include a license header. Reorganize some ignore rules to group rules with similar motivations. Add a header to autogen.sh and attribute it to just "The Wireshark Authors" since while Gilbert wrote the original version it's gone through so many changes over the years that sorting out proper authorship is unnecessarily complex. Add headers to Graeme Hewson's two files as verified by private email, and update his address in the AUTHORS file per his request. Add header to one of Ulf Lamping's files, as verified by private email. Only remaining problem is the reedsolomon code.

2014-02-03Fix all -fstrict-alias warnings found by gcc 4.1.2Gilbert Ramirez1-1/+7
The majority of the fixes are for calls to uat_new(). Instead of having each caller cast its private data to (void**), we use void* in the uat_new() API itself. Inside uat_new(), we cast the void* to void**. Some dissectors use val64_string arrays, so a VALS64() macro was added for those, to avoid using VALS(), which is useful only for value_string arrays. packet-mq.c was changed because dissect_nt_sid() requires a char**, not a guint**. All other callers of dissect_nt_sid() use char*'s (and take the address of it) for their local storage. So, this was changed to follow the other practices. A confusion between gint and absolute_time_display_e in packet-time.c was cleared up. The ugliest fix is the addition of ip6_guint8_to_str(), for exactly one caller. The caller uses one type of ip6 address byte array, while ip6_to_str() expects another. This new function is in place until the various address implementations can be consolidated. Add VALS64() to the developer documentation.
