2012-06-13Create, and start using, file name preferences.Jeff Morriss1-0/+8
File name preferences are basically just string preferences except that the GUI will present a "Browse" button that allows the user to go and find the file s/he wants (rather than having to blindly type in the full path). svn path=/trunk/; revision=43228

svn path=/trunk/; revision=41400
2012-03-06Emphasize corrext usage of FT_BOOLEAN 'display' field.Bill Meier1-14/+20
Specificaly: For a field type FT_BOOLEAN: - If the bitmask field is zero, then the 'display' field must be 'BASE_NONE'; - If the bitmask field is non-zero, then the 'display' field must be the field-width of the parent bit field. svn path=/trunk/; revision=41379

parameter change. svn path=/trunk/; revision=38048
2011-07-11More GLIB_CHECK_VERSION cleanups. Update the minimum GLib/GTK+ versionsGerald Combs1-4/+5
in README.devloper. Remove g_gnuc.h since it's no longer needed. Remove tvbuff_init(), tvbuff_cleanup(), reassemble_init(), and reassemble_cleanup() since they were only used for older GLib versions which didn't support GSlices.

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5603 : Following the discussion on the dev mailing list about ett_ value in subtree http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201101/msg00039.html a small to update the Readme Developer Guide ! svn path=/trunk/; revision=35610

tvb_bcd_dig_to_ep_str(); svn path=/trunk/; revision=35499
2011-01-12Introduce, and start using, tvb_get_const_stringz(). This function returns aJeff Morriss1-5/+11
pointer to a NULL-terminated string in the TVB. It is no safer than dissectors which call tvb_get_strsize() and then tvb_get_ptr() but it makes it clear that this usage of tvb_get_ptr() is safe. This function is slightly more efficient than tvb_get_ephemeral_stringz()--but only as long as we're not using composite TVBs. svn path=/trunk/; revision=35493
2011-01-03State in the developer documentation that the tvb_fake_unicode() andStephen Fisher1-15/+4
tvb_get_ephemeral_fake_unicode() functions have been superceded by tvb_get_unicode_string() and tvb_get_ephemeral_unicode_string() respectivey. svn path=/trunk/; revision=35349
2011-01-03Document new tvb_get_unicode_string() and tvb_get_ephemeral_string()Stephen Fisher1-0/+12
functions. svn path=/trunk/; revision=35345
2010-12-23Introduce new function called tvb_get_ephemeral_unicode_stringz(), whichStephen Fisher1-0/+7
is a unicode (UTF-16) version of tvb_get_ephemeral_stringz(). It scans a tvbuff for a UTF-16 string and converts it to UTF-8 upon return. svn path=/trunk/; revision=35253
2010-12-22Allow for NULL preference descriptions.Jaap Keuter1-1/+1
svn path=/trunk/; revision=35242
2010-12-20Rename the routines that handle dissector tables with unsigned integerGuy Harris1-7/+7
keys to have _uint in their names, to match the routines that handle dissector tables with string keys. (Using _port can confuse people into thinking they're intended solely for use with TCP/UDP/etc. ports when, in fact, they work better for things such as Ethernet types, where the binding of particular values to particular protocols are a lot stronger.) svn path=/trunk/; revision=35224
2010-12-18Revert SVN #35214 based upon comments in the Wireshark-dev list.Bill Meier1-1/+647

2010-12-14Update the "Following Conversations" section to use se_alloc() instead of ↵Bill Meier1-63/+47
GMemChunks. Also: add information about the conversation_set_dissector() function. svn path=/trunk/; revision=35185
2010-10-22Add some info about extended value string to section 1.7.1Bill Meier1-1/+12
svn path=/trunk/; revision=34621
2010-10-14Rework "extended value strings":Bill Meier1-5/+21
- Allow direct access when a range of values begins with a value other than 0; - Provide value_string_ext_new() for creating extended value strings at runtime; - Do access to value_string_ext members via a macro (all but value_string.c); - Update documentation. svn path=/trunk/; revision=34514

svn path=/trunk/; revision=33641
2010-07-27Tell people to be careful about loops likeGuy Harris1-0/+11
for (guint8 = 0; guint8 < guint; guint8++) (one of which recently caused an infinite loop with a fuzzed packet in the buildbot). svn path=/trunk/; revision=33639

svn path=/trunk/; revision=33286
2010-05-26Put in a warning about the <stdarg.h> problem that I just found andGuy Harris1-0/+20
fixed in one place (and am now fixing in some other places). svn path=/trunk/; revision=32962
2010-05-25Minor rewording; Also: add note to not use "" for a hf[] array blurb.Bill Meier1-5/+5
svn path=/trunk/; revision=32940
2010-05-24Refer to the endianness arguments as "encoding" rather thanGuy Harris1-3/+3
"representation" - we already use "representation" to refer to the text representation of fields. Change some routines with an endianness argument to make it a representation argument instead; svn path=/trunk/; revision=32929
