2002-01-05Long NCP traces can easily have many packets whose "uniqueness"Gilbert Ramirez1-1/+3
variables wrap-around. Since the request/reply packets are related via a hash based on these uniqueness variables, long NCP traces can have mis-matches reqeust/reply records. Thus, only do the hash-lookup for the reply packet during the first sequential scan of the trace file. Once the pertinent info is found, store it in the packet's private data area. Since the memory allocated for the hash and for the structures that make up the keys are no longer needed after the first sequential run through the trace file, arrange to free that memory after the first sequential run. Similar to the register_init_routine() that allows dissectors to register callbacks for calling *before* a capture file is loaded, set up a register_postseq_cleanup_routine() function that allows dissectors to register callbacks for calling *after* the first sequential run-through of the trace file is made. This is not a *final* cleanup callback, since Ethereal will still have that trace file open for random-access reading. I didn't have tethereal call postseq_cleanup_all_protocols() since tethereal doesn't keep the trace file open for random-access reading. I could easily be swayed to make tethereal call that function, however. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4484
2001-12-10Move the pointer to the "column_info" structure in the "frame_data"Guy Harris1-8/+8
structure to the "packet_info" structure; only stuff that's permanently stored with each frame should be in the "frame_data" structure, and the "column_info" structure is not guaranteed to hold the column values for that frame at all times - it was only in the "frame_data" structure so that it could be passed to dissectors, and, as all dissectors are now passed a pointer to a "packet_info" structure, it could just as well be put in the "packet_info" structure. That saves memory, by shrinking the "frame_data" structure (there's one of those per frame), and also lets us clean up the code a bit. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4371
2001-12-03Remove the no-longer-extant "conv_dissector_add()" from the list ofGuy Harris1-3/+5
plugin APIs, and add the new "dissector_add_handle()". Add an entry in the dissector table structure for "create_dissector_handle". svn path=/trunk/; revision=4314
2001-12-03Make "dissector_add()", "dissector_delete()", and "dissector_change()"Guy Harris1-4/+7
take a dissector handle as an argument, rather than a pointer to a dissector function and a protocol ID. Associate dissector handles with dissector table entries. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4308
2001-11-21Remove the pointer to the global packet_info from the table ofGilbert Ramirez1-2/+1
pointers used for plugins on win32. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4247

2001-11-04Additional routines made available to plugins, from Tomas Kukosa.Guy Harris1-2/+18
svn path=/trunk/; revision=4150
2001-11-04In "plugin_api_defs.h", just doGuy Harris1-2/+2
addr_XXX p_XXX; for all the declarations, to simplify things, as per Tomas Kukosa's suggestion. Fix a couple of comments. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4149
2001-11-01Fix some declarations to match the signatures of "tvb_find_guint8()" andGuy Harris1-3/+3
"tvb_pbrk_guint8()". svn path=/trunk/; revision=4121
2001-10-29Stop using "tvb_get_ntohll()" and "%llX" in the BOOTP dissector, as theGuy Harris1-13/+1
former depends on having "guint64" and the latter depends on "%ll[douxX]" being what's used to print 64-bit integers, and there are platforms on which Etheeal runs that don't have "guint64" or that don't use "%ll[douxX]" to print 64-bit integers. Get rid of the routines to extract 64-bit integers into "gint64"s and "guint64"s, as per Ronnie Sahlberg's suggestion, to discourage people from writing code that won't work on all platforms; they should be using FT_UINT64, or the routines in "int-64bit.c", instead. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4102
2001-10-17Enable building of the coseventcomm plugin on Win32.Gilbert Ramirez1-9/+53
Some of these changs are from Frank Singleton, some are mine. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4035
2001-09-14Make the resolution for time values be nanoseconds rather thanGuy Harris1-4/+4
microseconds. Fix some "signed vs. unsigned" comparison warnings. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3935
2001-09-04From Thomas Wittwer: add "prefs_register_string_preference()" to theGuy Harris1-1/+4
list of functions available to plugins. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3906
2001-08-29Add a "proto_item_append_text()" routine, which is likeGuy Harris1-1/+3
"proto_item_set_text()" except that it appends the result of the formatting to the item's current text, rather than replacing the item's current text. Use it in the DNS dissector. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3880
2001-08-28Get rid of "proto_tree_add_notext()" - if you create a subtree using it,Guy Harris1-5/+1
but, before you set the text, you throw an exception while putting stuff under the subtree, you end up with an absolutely blank protocol tree item, which is really gross. Instead of calling "proto_tree_add_notext()", call "proto_tree_add_text()" with at least a minimal label - yes, it does mean you do some work that will probably be unnecessary, but, absent a scheme to arrange to do that work if it *is* necessary (e.g., catching exceptions), the alternative is an ugly protocol tree display. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3879
2001-07-22Add a bunch of routines used by GIOP plugins to the plugin addressGuy Harris1-3/+21
table. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3764
2001-04-25Get rid of support for non-tvbuffified plugin dissectors.Guy Harris1-6/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=3385
2001-04-25Make "col_set_str()" and "tvb_reported_length_remaining()" available inGuy Harris1-1/+5
plugins. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3384
2001-04-02"tvb_get_ptr()" now returns a "const guint8 *", not a "guint8 *"; adjustGuy Harris1-2/+2
the plugin-API declarations appropriately. svn path=/trunk/; revision=3242
2001-01-28Add "col_clear()" to the list of functions in the transfer vector forGuy Harris1-1/+3
plugins, as the MGCP dissector uses it. Don't set pointers to "dfilter_init()" and "dfilter_cleanup()" in that transfer vector, as there *aren't* any pointers to them in the transfer vector. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2949
2001-01-26Clean up the dissector registration up a bit - arrange that all pluginsGuy Harris1-7/+1
be loaded and their initialization routines called in right after we call the initialization routines for built-in dissectors, but don't call their handoff registration routines yet, and then call the handoff registration routines right after calling the handoff registration routines for built-in dissectors. Do all that in "proto_init()", rather than "epan_init()". That way, we call all dissector registration routines together, and then call all dissector handoff registration routines together; all the registration routines are called before any handoff registration routines, as is required, and, as "proto_init()" is called by "epan_init()" before "dfilter_init()" is called, all filterable fields have been registered before "dfilter_init()" is called, and no plugins have to call "dfilter_init()" themselves to get their fields registered. Remove pointers to "dfilter_init()" and "dfilter_cleanup()" from the plugin address table, as plugins shouldn't be calling them any more, and remove calls to them from plugins. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2940
2001-01-13Tvbuffify the PIM dissector.Guy Harris1-4/+1
It was the last dissector that used "old_call_dissector()", and tvbuffifying it got rid of that, so get rid of "old_call_dissector()". svn path=/trunk/; revision=2892
2001-01-09Add an additional "protocol index" argument to "{old_}dissector_add()",Guy Harris1-5/+6
"{old_}heur_dissector_add()", "{old_}conv_dissector_add()", and "register_dissector()", so that an entry in those tables has associated with it the protocol index of the protocol the dissector handles (or -1, if there is no protocol index for it). This is for future use in a number of places. (Arguably, "proto_register_protocol()" should take a dissector pointer as an argument, but 1) it'd have to handle both regular and heuristic dissectors; 2) making it take either a "dissector_t" or a union of that and a "heur_dissector_t" introduces some painful header-file interdependencies so I'm punting on that for now. As with other Ethereal internal APIs, these APIs are subject to change in the future, at least until Ethereal 1.0 comes out....) svn path=/trunk/; revision=2849
2001-01-03Add a new "prefs_register_protocol()" routine, which is likeGuy Harris1-4/+4
"prefs_register_module()" except that it takes a protocol index as returned by "proto_register_protocol()" as its first argument, rather than taking two character strings as arguments as its first two arguments, and uses the protocol's abbreviation as the name to use for preferences in the preferences file and the "-o" flag and uses the protocol's short name as the name to use in the tabs in the "Edit->Preferences" window. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2812
2001-01-03Have "proto_register_protocol()" build a list of data structures forGuy Harris1-2/+2
protocols, in addition to adding structures to the list of filterable fields. Give it an extra argument that specifies a "short name" for the protocol, for use in such places as pinfo->current_proto; the dialog box for constructing filters; the preferences tab for the protocol; and so on (although we're not yet using it in all those places). Make the preference name that appears in the preferences file and the command line for the DIAMETER protocol "diameter", not "Diameter"; the convention is that the name in question be all-lower-case. Make some routines and variables that aren't exported static. Update a comment in the ICP dissector to make it clear that the dissector won't see fragments other than the first fragment of a fragmented datagram. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2811
2000-11-18Fix a number of problems that caused compiles to fail ifGuy Harris1-9/+10
PLUGINS_NEED_ADDRESS_TABLE was defined. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2662
2000-11-16Tvbuffify the STP dissector, have it register itself and have the LLCGuy Harris1-2/+2
dissector call it through a handle, and make it static. Give "dissect_data()" an "offset" argument, so dissectors can use it to dissect part of the packet without having to cook up a new tvbuff. Go back to using "dissect_data()" to dissect the data in an IPP request. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2651
2000-11-15Add a mechanism by which a dissector can be registered by name, anotherGuy Harris1-1/+13
dissector can get a "handle" for that dissector by name and then call that dissector through the handle. This allows dissectors that can't be called through a port table or a heuristic table to be called from other dissectors without directly referring to the dissector function - dynamically-loaded modules, under Windows, cannot directly call functions in the main program, and non-plugin dissectors are in the main program and thus cannot be called from plugin dissectors unless either 1) a pointer to the dissector is put in the Big Transfer Vector or 2) some other mechanism for getting a pointer to the dissector is provided. This mechanism could also support registering old-style dissectors and calling them from new-style dissectors without the new-style dissector having to do the argument translation itself (I didn't add support for registering old-style dissectors because I'd prefer to have people tvbuffify their code if they have to register a dissector...). It could also, in the future, perhaps support disabling of protocols; setting "pinfo->current_proto"; inside "call_dissector()" - and inside "{old_}dissector_try_port()" and "{old_"dissector_try_heuristic()" - allowing a pile of stuff that currently has to be done in every dissector be done by common code. (I have some ideas about how to do this, by having "proto_register_protocol()" take an abbreviation - of the sort that would be put in, for example, "pinfo->current_proto" - as an argument; having the calls to register dissectors take an index returned by "proto_register_protocol()" as an argument. The abbreviation could be used elsewhere as well, e.g. in the "Decoding" tab of the "Edit->Protocols" dialog box, and in a GUI for constructing protocol filters. Watch this space.) Make "dissect_sdp()" the first client of this mechanism; it's now static to "packet-sdp.c", and all dissectors that call it - including the MGCP plugin - now call it through a dissector handle fetched by "find_dissector()". (Next step - see if Ethereal can now compile on Windows as a result of this.) svn path=/trunk/; revision=2647
2000-11-14"plugin_api.c" needs to include <glib.h>, to define G_HAVE_GINT64 onGuy Harris1-3/+3
platforms that have "gint64". Fix plugin-table lines for "dissector_delete()", "dissect_data()", "prefs_register_module()", and "prefs_register_uint_preference()". The MGCP dissector uses routines from GLib, so when building it as a DLL for Windows, it has to be linked with "glib-XXX.lib". svn path=/trunk/; revision=2643
2000-11-13Add "dissector_delete()", "proto_item_get_len()",Guy Harris1-9/+34
"proto_item_set_len()", "proto_item_set_text()", and the preference routines expected to be used by dissectors to the table of function pointers handed to dissectors on platforms where dynamically-loaded modules can't access symbols from the main program. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2638
2000-11-13Add the tvbuff routines expected to be used by dissectors to the tableGuy Harris1-1/+95
of function pointers handed to dissectors on platforms where dynamically-loaded modules can't access symbols from the main program. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2635
2000-11-12Add a Makefile.nmake for the MGCP plugin, and updateGuy Harris1-1/+11
"plugins/Makefile.nmake" to build that plugin. Add to the table of routines callable from plugins "old_dissector_add()", "old_dissect_data()", and "proto_is_protocol_enabled()", so that the Gryphon dissector can build on Windows. Move the includes of "plugins/plugin_api.h" and "moduleinfo.h" before all the other includes, except for "config.h", in "plugin-mgcp.c", to match what the Gryphon dissector does; "plugins_api.h" must be included before any of the routines whose names it #defines in order for the plugin to build on Windows. (It still doesn't build on Windows, as still more routines need to be added to the table of routines callable from plugins, but tomorrow is another day. Making libethereal a DLL may obviate the need for that table, *if* all the routines called from a plugin are in libethereal, as I think routines in a DLL, even a run-time-loaded DLL, can call routines from another DLL as long as those routines are exported from the other DLL.) svn path=/trunk/; revision=2622
2000-05-31Fix plugin function table so that plugins work on Win32.Gilbert Ramirez1-16/+75
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2034
2000-05-05Add routines to:Guy Harris1-2/+6
register lists of "heuristic" dissectors, which are handed a frame that may or may contain a payload for the protocol they dissect, and that return FALSE if it's not or dissect the packet and return TRUE if it is; add a dissector to such a list; go through such a list, calling each dissector until either a dissector returns TRUE, in which case the routine returns TRUE, or it runs out of entries in the list, in which case the routine returns FALSE. Have lists of heuristic dissectors for TCP and for COTP when used with the Inactive Subset of CLNP, and add the GIOP and Yahoo Messenger dissectors to the first list and the Sinec H1 dissector to the second list. Make the dissector name argument to "dissector_add()" and "dissector_delete()" a "const char *" rarther than just a "char *". Add "heur_dissector_add()", the routine to add a heuristic dissector to a list of heuristic dissectors, to the set of routines we can export to plugins through a table on platforms where dynamically-loaded code can't call stuff in the main program, and initialize the element in the table in question for "dissector_add()" (which we'd forgotten to do). svn path=/trunk/; revision=1909
2000-04-04Add "dissector_add()" to the list of routines exported to plugins viaGuy Harris1-1/+5
the Big Function Pointer Table. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1797
2000-03-15Give all the Ethereal APIs available to plugins their own functionGuy Harris1-0/+99
pointers, and call the APIs by calling through the function pointers - the old technique of using wrappers didn't work, as the underlying function they all called no longer exists. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1724
