Fix memory errors, Lua call-stack unwinding, and Lua tap data support. v3
I have added support for attaching a lua value (like a table) to a packet that
can be accessing in a tap.
Now a lua dissector can pass info about a dissected packet to any tap listening
for that packet. This patch added a tap type "lua" which has this structure
for data:
struct _wslua_tap_data {
lua_State *L;
int data_ref;
};
typedef struct _wslua_tap_data* TapData;
The "data_ref" field is a lua reference that can be accessed with:
TapData tap_data = (TapData)p;
lua_rawgeti(tap_data->L, LUA_REGISTRYINDEX, tap_data->packet_ref);
Lua tap listeners will receive the tap_data as the forth parameter to the
"packet" callback function. Also I add the "proto_tree" value as the third
parameter to the "packet" callback.
So the Lua tap listener's "packet" callback now receive 4 parameters:
tap.packet(pinfo, tvb, tree, tapdata)
end
A Lua dissector set the tap_data on a packet with:
pinfo.tap_data = {} -- any lua value is valid here.
The tap data can also be read:
local data = pinfo.tap_data
When registering a tap listener you need to request tap_type "lua" to receive
any value from the Lua dissector.
The reason I added support for tap_data is that I couldn't find simple way to
get information from the proto_tree that my Lua dissector had added.
