--- Comment #6 from Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws@xxxxxxxxx> 2010-10-10 18:45:44 PDT ---
A couple of comments:

- No C++/C99 style comments please

- be sure all your value_strings are NULL terminated (I saw at least one that
wasn't).

- I suspect the new call to tvb_length() should be tvb_reported_length() (this
matters when the packets are cut short due to snapshot length)

- All of these things "+    case 0x03:     /* secure */" would be better off as
macros (e.g., #define AMQP SECURE 0x03). These could also then be used in the
corresponding value_strings.  The same goes for a lot of the numbers sprinkled
throughout, though the commented ones are the most obvious area for
improvement.

- DISSECTOR_ASSERT() should only be used for detecting bugs in the
dissector--not malformed packets.  Add an expert info instead or if you really
want to raise a flag (and stop dissection) throw a ReportedBoundsError.  (I see
that the original dissector used such assertions a lot improperly, but we're
trying to get rid of those--and not let more in.)

- the proto_tree_add_uint64() call can/should be proto_tree_add_item()

- A few of the blurbs (FIELDDESCR) in the new hf's are redundant with the
name--use NULL instead in this case.  (tools/checkAPIs.pl now detects these for
you.)


Overall it looks quite good--the above are mostly nits or things we can fix
while checking it in, except for the DISSECTOR_ASSERT() and C++-style comments
issues.
