2012-07-08First phase of fixing https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7380 :Jeff Morriss1-0/+3
Add a new name resolution option: whether or not use the configured (in the OS) name resolver (e.g., DNS) to resolve network names. When this option is disabled but network name resolution is enabled then Wireshark will resolve only those names that it can from local sources. This includes (at least, AFAIK): - name resolutions that Wireshark picks up on from DNS packets it decodes - the "user hosts file" (~/.wireshark/hosts on *NIX) - what Wireshark reads out of capture file (the PCAPNG name resolution block) This new preference defaults to "use external resolvers" for backward compatibility (so people turning on network name resolution will get the old behavior). This option can be set via Edit->Preferences and on the command line; there remain several UIs (e.g., the "open capture file" dialog, the View->Name Resolution menu, etc.) that don't have the new option yet. Also expand on the "description" for the name resolution preferences: these are used not only in the tooltips but are also written to the preferences file. The previous text didn't include enough context when written do the preferences file. svn path=/trunk/; revision=43605

2012-04-18If we see a 5View time-stamped header with a bad key, make sure weGuy Harris1-1/+1
return the right error code and information string. InfoVista bought Accellent Group, and, at least according to the InfoVista Web site, it's "5View", not "5Views". svn path=/trunk/; revision=42119

2012-03-19Add a new environment variable (WIRESHARK_ABORT_ON_OUT_OF_MEMORY) thatJeff Morriss1-3/+10
prevents OutOfMemory exceptions from being thrown. This makes it easier to debug such conditions. Set this variable in test-fuzzed-cap.sh but not in fuzz-test.sh; it's nice to see the friendly out-of-memory error message in the bug reports the latter script generates. svn path=/trunk/; revision=41656

2010-09-02Introduce 2 new environment variables: WIRESHARK_EP_VERIFY_POINTERS andJeff Morriss1-0/+14
WIRESHARK_SE_VERIFY_POINTERS that control whether or not we verify if a given pointer is ep_ or se_ allocated, respectively. Turn the behavior off by default for speed reasons (the speed difference isn't huge, but...). Turn the behavior on when fuzz testing.
