OK: I've done the following:
1. Changed tshark so that it will output WARNING level log messages to stderr
when running with default preferences.
(This means that DISSECTOR_BUG & etc messages from tshark will now appear on
stderr since they are WARNING level log messages).
(tshark was changed to use the value of the "console_log_level" preference to
determine which level(s) of log messages are to be output to stderr).
The default value for this preference is to output ERROR, CRITICAL & WARNING
messages.
This is a tshark behavior change. Previously WARNING messages were ignored.
If this change ends up making tshark output too "noisy" then plan B might be to
implement a log_level preference specifically for tshark
(tshark_console_log_level ?). The default for that would then be as before for
tshark: ignore WARNING messages.
2. Given the above change, fuzz-test should now detect DISSECTOR_BUGs and
failed DISSECTOR_ASSERTs when it searches the stderr output file.
I fixed the WIRESHARK_ABORT_ON_DISSECTOR_BUG mechanism in fuzz-test so it would
work as desired; I then decided to disable the feature. My sense is that it's
more useful to get some info from the stderr file than to force a core dump via
an ABORT (which results in no information in the stderr file).
I'll leave this bug open for now until we see how things work out.
