http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201304/msg00009.html, change the default snaplen to 65KiB-1. While we're at it, push the max packet size to that value as well. Also: convert the few tabs to spaces and add modelines. svn path=/trunk/; revision=48738

2013-03-27From Hadriel Kaplan via https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8223Evan Huus1-2/+23
Add a 2-pass display-filter flag to tshark so that reassembly and other forward- looking dissections can be used with filters. It's a bit of a hack, but this entire area of 2-pass analysis etc. is a giant pile of hacks to begin with and needs cleaning up. For now just having this feature is a big enough win. svn path=/trunk/; revision=48589

2013-03-10Make the memory limit (in bytes or packets) used for storing packetsMichael Tüxen1-0/+16
configurable via command line options and print specific drop numbers at the end. This allows to tune the buffering when using multiple threads. This also fixes a logic arrow in enforcing the limits. The patch for the enhanced counters is from Anders Broman. svn path=/trunk/; revision=48223

2013-03-09Remove the wmem slab. It was an optimization mimicking the emem slabEvan Huus1-7/+1
(removed in r48218) which did nothing particularly useful. Also lets us remove another debugging environment variable. svn path=/trunk/; revision=48219

svn path=/trunk/; revision=48136
2013-03-06Don't use (GNU-specific) pattern rules: use old-fashioned suffix rules instead.Jeff Morriss1-164/+61
Since there's now a suffix rule for the .1 man pages, don't create explicit rules for them. (Leave a comment explaining why the .html and .4 rules need to stay.) Simplify CLEANFILES: there's no need to list each man page, just remove them all. svn path=/trunk/; revision=48135

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

2013-01-19Rewrite wmem_allocator_simple to track allocations using a GHashTable instead ofEvan Huus1-1/+1
a GSList. This permits it to implement the new realloc and free functions. Also fill in an empty gc function, since there isn't much it can do as far as garbage-collection goes. svn path=/trunk/; revision=47169
2013-01-19Add three more slots to the wmem allocater definition (not yet implementedEvan Huus1-11/+49
by any particular allocator) and better document the entire structure. svn path=/trunk/; revision=47163
2013-01-16As suggested in comments in sl_alloc() and sl_free(): add a new environmentJeff Morriss3-0/+18
variable (WIRESHARK_DEBUG_USE_SLICES) which turns off the slab allocator and uses g_slices instead (which can themselves be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc). This makes debugging problems in slab-allocated memory easier to find (hopefully including https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8197 ). Set WIRESHARK_DEBUG_USE_SLICES when running Valgrind on *shark. Remove unused structure member: emem_chunk_t.org. svn path=/trunk/; revision=47110

shown for the previous input format (showing "data" as a pointer is a bit confusing, as it's just in-line data in the input), and give a more detailed description of the issues with that file format (the size of the seconds field of the time stamp is platform-dependent). svn path=/trunk/; revision=46864
