2013-06-20Split README.developer into two: README.developer and README.dissector. All theEvan Huus1-3131/+16
documentation specific to dissectors should now live in README.dissector - what remains in README.developer should be useful to anybody coding on Wireshark regardless of if you're working on the GUI, wiretap, dissectors, etc. This first pass I did a fairly dumb split of copy-pasting relevant chunks from one file to the other. There are probably fragments that aren't in the right file anymore, so cleanup welcome. svn path=/trunk/; revision=50092

2013-04-15Major cleanup of skeleton dissector and related bits of README.developer.Evan Huus1-8/+42
Changes of note: - Removed the 'Copied from' notice, it's only relevant if they're *not* using the skeleton code. Added a paragraph to README.developer instead. - Exorcised all references to if (tree) and placed them in their own section at the bottom as an optimization. Hopefully this will be less confusing. svn path=/trunk/; revision=48861

2013-03-04From Steve Magnani via https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8339Evan Huus1-9/+34
This patch adds a new public API, proto_tree_add_bitmask_len(), identical to proto_tree_add_bitmask() but using a caller-supplied length rather than an inferred one. The underlying proto_item_add_bitmask_tree() code is modified to display only fields for which all defined bits are available, and to ignore bits that have no corresponding defined field ("forward compatibility" cases). From me: minor edits, see the bug for more details. svn path=/trunk/; revision=48049

use it as example in a few places and point out that if you're not using the return value to build a subtree, you probably shouldn't be using the function. svn path=/trunk/; revision=46617

Combine the two comments in the Portability section (which largely said the same thing) on the perils of that function. Don't suggest it as an option to ensure there are enough bytes in the TVB. svn path=/trunk/; revision=46590
