Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] RFC: display filter functions

Attached is my work on adding functions to the display filter
language. Since I have not added new functionality to Ethereal in a
long time, I'm posting it for review.

Besides adding the infrastructure, this code adds 2 functions: upper()
and lower(), which take a string field and return the uppercase or
lowercase version for it. That's why this work was done in the first
place --- to support case-insenstive string comparisons.

Right now the code only works on ASCII strings; I have no idea what to
do about non-ASCII. Similarly, it only works on the FT_STRING and
related types... it does not work on an entire protocol (FT_PROTOCOL).
The deficiency is due to the fact that I make a function return only
one type. In this case, upper()/lower() return an FT_STRING; if they
were to work on a protocol, they'd have to return an FT_PROTOCOL also.
I'm not sure yet if it's worth changing this, as it will make the
semantic check of the syntax tree more difficult.

Also, to support any future functions where a display filter function
takes more than one parameter, I had to change how the display filter
scanner treats commas. Right now commas are allowed to be in field
names (!) and in unquoted-strings. After my change, they won't be. I
don't see this as a drawback, since it's unlikely that anyone would
want a comman in a field name, and quoted strings would allow you to
use commas.

Thanks for any comments,

+5.4 Display Filter Functions
 
+You define a desplay filte function by adding an entry to
+the df_functions table in epan/dfilter/dfunctions.c. The record struct
+is defined in defunctions.h, and shown here:
+
+typedef struct {
+    char            *name;
+    DFFuncType      function;
+    ftenum_t        retval_ftype;
+    guint           min_nargs;
+    guint           max_nargs;
+    DFSemCheckType  semcheck_param_function;
+} df_func_def_t;
+
+name - the name of the function; this is how the user will call your
+    function in the display filter language
+
+function - this is the run-time processing of your function.
+
+retval_ftype - what type of FT_* type does your function return?
+
+min_nargs - minimum number of arguments your function accepts
+max_nargs - maximum number of arguments your function accepts
+
+semcheck_param_function - called during the semantic check of the
+    display filter string.
+
+DFFuncType function
+-------------------
+typedef gboolean (*DFFuncType)(GList *arg1list, GList *arg2list, GList **retval);
+
+The return value of your function is a gboolean; TRUE if processing went fine,
+or FALSE if there was some sort of exception.
+
+For now, display filter functions can accept a maximum of 2 arguments.
+The "arg1list" parameter is the GList for the first argument. The
+'arg2list" parameter is the GList for the second argument. All arguments
+to display filter functions are lists. This is because in the display
+filter language a protocol field may have multiple instances. For example,
+a field like "ip.addr" will exist more than once in a single frame. So
+when the user invokes this display filter:
+
+    somefunc(ip.addr) == TRUE
+
+even though "ip.addr" is a single argument, the "somefunc" function will
+receive a GList of *all* the values of "ip.addr" in the frame.
+
+Similarly, the return value of the function needs to be a GList, since all
+values in the display filter language are lists. The GList** retval argument
+is passed to your function so you can set the pointer to your return value.
+
+DFSemCheckType
+--------------
+typedef void (*DFSemCheckType)(int param_num, stnode_t *st_node);
+
+For each parameter in the syntax tree, this function will be called.
+"param_num" will indicate the number of the parameter, starting with 0.
+The "stnode_t" is the syntax-tree node representing that parameter.
+If everything is okay with the value of that stnode_t, your function
+does nothing --- it merely returns. If something is wrong, however,
+it should THROW a TypeError exception.

+=head2 Functions
+
+The filter language has the following functions:
+
+    upper(string-field) - converts a string field to uppercase
+    lower(string-field) - converts a string field to lowercase
+
+upper() and lower() are useful for performing case-insensitive string
+comparisons. For example:
+
+    upper(ncp.nds_stream_name) contains "MACRO"
+    lower(mount.dump.hostname) == "angel"
+

 Each protocol field is typed. The types are:
