We already have several places that want to visit all the members
of an implicit object within a larger context (simple union variant,
event with anonymous data, command with anonymous arguments struct);
and will be adding another one soon (the ability to declare an
anonymous base for a flat union). Having a C struct declared for
these implicit types, along with a visit_type_FOO_members() helper
function, will make for fewer special cases in our generator.
We do not, however, need qapi_free_FOO() or visit_type_FOO()
functions for implicit types, because they should not be used
directly outside of the generated code. This is done by adding a
conditional in visit_object_type() for both qapi-types.py and
qapi-visit.py based on the object name. The comparison of
"name.startswith('q_')" is a bit hacky (it's basically duplicating
what .is_implicit() already uses), but beats changing the signature
of the visit_object_type() callback to pass a new 'implicit' flag.
The hack should be temporary: we are considering adding a future
patch that consolidates the narrow visit_object_type(..., base,
local_members, variants) and visit_object_type_flat(...,
all_members, variants) [where different sets of information are
already broken out, and the QAPISchemaObjectType is no longer
available] into a broader visit_object_type(obj_type) [where the
visitor can query the needed fields from obj_type directly].
Also, now that we WANT to output C code for implicits, we no longer
need the visit_needed() filter, leaving 'q_empty' as the only object
still needing a special case. Remember, 'q_empty' is the only
built-in generated object, which means that without a special case
it would be emitted in multiple files (the main qapi-types.h and in
qga-qapi-types.h) causing compilation failure due to redefinition.
But since it has no members, it's easier to just avoid an attempt to
visit that particular type; since gen_object() is called recursively,
we also prime the objects_seen set to cover any recursion into the
empty type.
The patch relies on the changed naming of implicit types in the
previous patch. It is a bit unfortunate that the generated struct
names and visit_type_FOO_members() don't match normal naming
conventions, but it's not too bad, since they will only be used in
generated code.
The generated code grows substantially in size: the implicit
'-wrapper' types must be emitted in qapi-types.h before any union
can include an unboxed member of that type. Arguably, the '-args'
types could be emitted in a private header for just qapi-visit.c
and qmp-marshal.c, rather than polluting qapi-types.h; but adding
complexity to the generator to split the output location according
to role doesn't seem worth the maintenance costs.

We started moving away from the use of the 'void *data' member
in the C union corresponding to a QAPI union back in commit

that it is completely unused, we can remove the member itself
as well as the FIXME comment. Update the testsuite to drop the
negative test union-clash-data.

Dan Berrange reported a case where he needs to work with a
QCryptoBlockOptions union type using the OptsVisitor, but only
visit one of the branches of that type (the discriminator is not
visited directly, but learned externally). When things were
boxed, it was easy: just visit the variant directly, which took
care of both allocating the variant and visiting its members, then
store that pointer in the union type. But now that things are
unboxed, we need a way to visit the members without allocation,
done by exposing visit_type_FOO_members() to the user.
Before the patch, we had quite a bit of code associated with
object_members_seen to make sure that a declaration of the helper
was in scope before any use of the function. But now that the
helper is public and declared in the header, the .c file no
longer needs to worry about topological sorting (the helper is
always in scope), which leads to some nice cleanups.

Backports commit 14f00c6c492488381a513c3816b15794446231a0 from qemu
QAPISchemaType.c_type() is a bit awkward: it takes two optional
boolean flags is_param and is_unboxed, and they should never both
be True.
Add a new method for each of the flags, and drop the flags from
c_type().
Most callers pass no flags; they remain unchanged.
One caller passes is_param=True; call the new .c_param_type()
instead.
One caller passes is_unboxed=True, except for simple union types.
This is actually an ugly special case that will go away soon, so
until then, we now have to call either .c_type() or the new
.c_unboxed_type(). Tolerable in the interim.
It requires slightly more Python, but is arguably easier to read.
Backports commit 4040d995e49c5b818be79e50a18c1bf8d2354d12 from qemu
We are getting closer to the point where we could use one union
as the base or variant type within another union type (as long
as there are no collisions between any possible combination of
member names allowed across all discriminator choices). But
until we get to that point, it is worth asserting that variants
are not present in places where we are not prepared to handle
them: when exploding a type into a parameter list, we do not
expect variants. The qapi.py code is already checking this,
via the older check_type() method; but someday we hope to get
rid of that and move checking into QAPISchema*.check(). The
two asserts added here make sure any refactoring still catches
problems, and makes it locally obvious why we can iterate over
only type.members without worrying about type.variants.
Backports commit 29f6bd15eb8a55ed37b2a443f7275b3d134eb2b2 from qemu
There's no reason to do two malloc's for a flat union; let's just
inline the branch struct directly into the C union branch of the
flat union.
Surprisingly, fewer clients were actually using explicit references
to the branch types in comparison to the number of flat unions
thus modified.
This lets us reduce the hack in qapi-types:gen_variants() added in
the previous patch; we no longer need to distinguish between
alternates and flat unions.
The change to unboxed structs means that u.data (added in commit
cee2dedb) is now coincident with random fields of each branch of
the flat union, whereas beforehand it was only coincident with
pointers (since all branches of a flat union have to be objects).
Note that this was already the case for simple unions - but there
we got lucky. Remember, visit_start_union() blindly returns true
for all visitors except for the dealloc visitor, where it returns
the value !!obj->u.data, and that this result then controls
whether to proceed with the visit to the variant. Pre-patch,
this meant that flat unions were testing whether the boxed pointer
was still NULL, and thereby skipping visit_end_implicit_struct()
and avoiding a NULL dereference if the pointer had not been
allocated. The same was true for simple unions where the current
branch had pointer type, except there we bypassed visit_type_FOO().
But for simple unions where the current branch had scalar type, the
contents of that scalar meant that the decision to call
visit_type_FOO() was data-dependent - the reason we got lucky there
is that visit_type_FOO() for all scalar types in the dealloc visitor
is a no-op (only the pointer variants had anything to free), so it
did not matter whether the dealloc visit was skipped. But with this
patch, we would risk leaking memory if we could skip a call to
visit_type_FOO_fields() based solely on a data-dependent decision.
But notice: in the dealloc visitor, visit_type_FOO() already handles
a NULL obj - it was only the visit_type_implicit_FOO() that was
failing to check for NULL. And now that we have refactored things to
have the branch be part of the parent struct, we no longer have a
separate pointer that can be NULL in the first place. So we can just
delete the call to visit_start_union() altogether, and blindly visit
the branch type; there is no change in behavior except to the dealloc
visitor, where we now unconditionally visit the branch, but where that
visit is now always safe (for a flat union, we can no longer
dereference NULL, and for a simple union, visit_type_FOO() was already
safely handling NULL on pointer types).
Unfortunately, simple unions are not as easy to switch to unboxed
layout; because we are special-casing the hidden implicit type with
a single 'data' member, we really DO need to keep calling another
layer of visit_start_struct(), with a second malloc; although there
are some cleanups planned for simple unions in later patches.
visit_start_union() and gen_visit_implicit_struct() are now unused.
Drop them.
Note that after this patch, the only remaining use of
visit_start_implicit_struct() is for alternate types; the next patch
will do further cleanup based on that fact.
Backports commit 544a3731591f5d53e15f22de00ce5ac758d490b3 from qemu
There's no reason to do two malloc's for an alternate type visiting
a QAPI struct; let's just inline the struct directly as the C union
branch of the struct.
Surprisingly, no clients were actually using the struct member prior
to this patch outside of the testsuite; an earlier patch in the series
added some testsuite coverage to make the effect of this patch more
obvious.
In qapi.py, c_type() gains a new is_unboxed flag to control when we
are emitting a C struct unboxed within the context of an outer
struct (different from our other two modes of usage with no flags
for normal local variable declarations, and with is_param for adding
'const' in a parameter list). I don't know if there is any more
pythonic way of collapsing the two flags into a single parameter,
as we never have a caller setting both flags at once.
Ultimately, we want to also unbox branches for QAPI unions, but as
that touches a lot more client code, it is better as separate
patches. But since unions and alternates share gen_variants(), I
had to hack in a way to test if we are visiting an alternate type
for setting the is_unboxed flag: look for a non-object branch.
This works because alternates have at least two branches, with at
most one object branch, while unions have only object branches.
The hack will go away in a later patch.
The generated code difference to qapi-types.h is relatively small:
| struct BlockdevRef {
| QType type;
| union { /* union tag is @type */
| void *data;
|- BlockdevOptions *definition;
|+ BlockdevOptions definition;
| char *reference;
| } u;
| };
The corresponding spot in qapi-visit.c calls visit_type_FOO(), which
first calls visit_start_struct() to allocate or deallocate the member
and handle a layer of {} from the JSON stream, then visits the
members. To peel off the indirection and the memory management that
comes with it, we inline this call, then suppress allocation /
deallocation by passing NULL to visit_start_struct(), and adjust the
member visit:
| switch ((*obj)->type) {
| case QTYPE_QDICT:
|- visit_type_BlockdevOptions(v, name, &(*obj)->u.definition, &err);
|+ visit_start_struct(v, name, NULL, 0, &err);
|+ if (err) {
|+ break;
|+ }
|+ visit_type_BlockdevOptions_fields(v, &(*obj)->u.definition, &err);
|+ error_propagate(errp, err);
|+ err = NULL;
|+ visit_end_struct(v, &err);
| break;
| case QTYPE_QSTRING:
| visit_type_str(v, name, &(*obj)->u.reference, &err);
The visit of non-object fields is unchanged.

output is not needed, then log that output is being generated,
and finally produce the output; see qapi-types.py:gen_object()

out was gen_visit_fields_decl(); rearrange it to be more like

Backports commit 2208d64998c5f867ccee7eeee298971685bf822d from qemu
Right now, we emit the branches of union types as a boxed pointer,
and it suffices to have a forward declaration of the type. However,
a future patch will swap things to directly use the branch type,
instead of hiding it behind a pointer. For this to work, the
compiler needs the full definition of the type, not just a forward
declaration, prior to the union that is including the branch type.
This patch just adds topological sorting to hoist all types
mentioned in a branch of a union to be fully declared before the
union itself. The sort is always possible, because we do not
allow circular union types that include themselves as a direct
branch (it is, however, still possible to include a branch type
that itself has a pointer to the union, for a type that can
indirectly recursively nest itself - that remains safe, because
that the member of the branch type will remain a pointer, and the
QMP representation of such a type adds another {} for each recurring
layer of the union type).

Backports commit 59d9e84cc94b8268f13ec184acfb997e8f352593 from qemu
We initially created the static visit_type_FOO_fields() helper
function for reuse of code - we have cases where the initial
setup for a visit has different allocation (depending on whether
the fields represent a stand-alone type or are embedded as part
of a larger type), but where the actual field visits are
identical once a pointer is available.
Up until the previous patch, visit_type_FOO_fields() was only
used for structs (no variants), so it was covering every field
for each type where it was emitted.
Meanwhile, the code for visiting unions looks like:
static visit_type_U_fields() {
visit base;
visit local_members;
}
visit_type_U() {
visit_start_struct();
visit_type_U_fields();
visit variants;
visit_end_struct();
}
which splits the fields of the union visit across two functions.
Move the code to visit variants to live inside visit_type_U_fields(),
while making it conditional on having variants so that all other
instances of the helper function remain unchanged. This is also
a step closer towards unifying struct and union visits, and towards
allowing one union type to be the branch of another flat union.
The resulting diff to the generated code is a bit hard to read,
but it can be verified that it touches only union types, and that
the end result is the following general structure:
static visit_type_U_fields() {
visit base;
visit local_members;
visit variants;
}
visit_type_U() {
visit_start_struct();
visit_type_U_fields();
visit_end_struct();
}

For a simple union SU, gen_visit_union() generates a visit of its
single tag member, like this:
visit_type_SUKind(v, "type", &(*obj)->type, &err);
For a flat union FU with base B, it generates a visit of its base
fields:
visit_type_B_fields(v, (B **)obj, &err);
Instead, we can simply visit the common members using the same fields
visit function we use for structs, generated with
gen_visit_struct_fields(). This function visits the base if any, then
the local members.
For a simple union SU, visit_type_SU_fields() contains exactly the old

The whole point of an alternate is to allow some type-safety while
still accepting more than one JSON type. Meanwhile, the 'any'
type exists to bypass type-safety altogether. The two are
incompatible: you can't accept every type, and still tell which
branch of the alternate to use for the parse; fix this to give a
sane error instead of a Python stack trace.
Note that other types that can't be alternate members are caught
earlier, by check_type().

Empty unions serve no purpose, and while we compile with gcc
which permits them, strict C99 forbids them. We happen to inject
a dummy 'void *data' member into the C unions that represent QAPI
unions and alternates, but we want to get rid of that member (it
pollutes the namespace for no good reason), which would leave us
with an empty union if the user didn't provide any branches. While
empty structs make sense in QAPI, empty unions don't add any
expressiveness to the QMP language. So prohibit them at parse
time. Update the documentation and testsuite to match.
Note that the documentation already mentioned that alternates
should have "two or more JSON data types"; so this also fixes
the code to enforce that. However, we have existing uses of a
union type with only one branch, so the 2-or-more strictness
is intentionally limited to alternates.

visit_start_struct() and visit_type_enum() had a 'kind' argument
that was usually set to either the stringized version of the
corresponding qapi type name, or to NULL (although some clients
didn't even get that right). But nothing ever used the argument.
It's even hard to argue that it would be useful in a debugger,
as a stack backtrace also tells which type is being visited.
Therefore, drop the 'kind' argument as dead.

JSON uses "name":value, but many of our visitor interfaces were
called with visit_type_FOO(v, &value, name, errp). This can be
a bit confusing to have to mentally swap the parameter order to
match JSON order. It's particularly bad for visit_start_struct(),
where the 'name' parameter is smack in the middle of the
otherwise-related group of 'obj, kind, size' parameters! It's
time to do a global swap of the parameter ordering, so that the
'name' parameter is always immediately after the Visitor argument.
Additional reason in favor of the swap: the existing include/qjson.h
prefers listing 'name' first in json_prop_*(), and I have plans to
unify that file with the qapi visitors; listing 'name' first in
qapi will minimize churn to the (admittedly few) qjson.h clients.
Later patches will then fix docs, object.h, visitor-impl.h, and
those clients to match.
Done by first patching scripts/qapi*.py by hand to make generated
files do what I want, then by running the following Coccinelle
script to affect the rest of the code base:
$ spatch --sp-file script `git grep -l '\bvisit_' -- '**/*.[ch]'`
I then had to apply some touchups (Coccinelle insisted on TAB
indentation in visitor.h, and botched the signature of
visit_type_enum() by rewriting 'const char *const strings[]' to
the syntactically invalid 'const char*const[] strings'). The
movement of parameters is sufficient to provoke compiler errors
if any callers were missed.

C compilers are allowed to represent enums as a smaller type
than int, if all enum values fit in the smaller type. There
are even compiler flags that force the use of this smaller
representation, although using them changes the ABI of a
binary. Therefore, our generated code for visit_type_ENUM()
(for all qapi enums) was wrong for casting Enum* to int* when
calling visit_type_enum().
It appears that no one has been using compiler ABI switches
for qemu, because if they had, we are potentially dereferencing
beyond bounds or even risking a SIGBUS on platforms where
unaligned pointer dereferencing is fatal. But it is still
better to avoid the practice entirely, and just use the correct
types.
This matches the fix for alternate qapi types, done earlier in
commit 0426d53 "qapi: Simplify visiting of alternate types",
with generated code changing as:

The generated code can call visit_end_union() without having called
visit_start_union(). Example:
if (!*obj) {
goto out_obj;
}
visit_type_CpuInfoBase_fields(v, (CpuInfoBase **)obj, &err);
if (err) {
goto out_obj; // if we go from here...
}
if (!visit_start_union(v, !!(*obj)->u.data, &err) || err) {
goto out_obj;
}
switch ((*obj)->arch) {
[...]
}
out_obj:
// ... then *obj is true, and ...
error_propagate(errp, err);
err = NULL;
if (*obj) {
// we end up here
visit_end_union(v, !!(*obj)->u.data, &err);
}
error_propagate(errp, err);
Harmless only because no visitor implements end_union(). Clean it up
anyway, by deleting the function as useless.
Messed up since we have visit_end_union (commit cee2ded).
Backports commit 7c91aabd8964cfdf637f302c579c95401f21ce92 from qemu
Inside the generated code between visit_start_struct() and
visit_end_struct(), we were blindly setting the error into
the caller's errp parameter. But a future patch to split
visit_end_struct() will require that we take action based
on whether an error has occurred, which requires us to track
all actions through a local err. Rewrite the visits to be
more in line with the other generated calls.
Generated code changes look like:

|- if (!err) {
|- if (*obj) {
|- visit_type_Abort_fields(v, obj, errp);

Backports commit 92b09babc11b60458c28cfe37eaa314de50e6241 from qemu
All other successful clients of visit_start_struct() were paired
with an unconditional visit_end_struct(); but the generated
code for events was relying on qmp_output_visitor_cleanup() to
work on an incomplete visit. Alter the code to guarantee that
the struct is completed, which will make a future patch to
split visit_end_struct() easier to reason about. While at it,
drop some assertions and comments that are not present in other
uses of the qmp output visitor, and pass NULL rather than "" as
the 'kind' parameter (matching most other uses where obj is NULL).
The changes to the generated code look like:
| qmp = qmp_event_build_dict("DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED");
|
| qov = qmp_output_visitor_new();
|- g_assert(qov);
|-
| v = qmp_output_get_visitor(qov);
|- g_assert(v);
|
|- /* Fake visit, as if all members are under a structure */
|- visit_start_struct(v, NULL, "", "DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED", 0, &err);
|+ visit_start_struct(v, NULL, NULL, "DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED", 0, &err);
| if (err) {
| goto out;
| }
| visit_type_str(v, (char **)&device, "device", &err);
| if (err) {
|- goto out;

| visit_type_bool(v, &tray_open, "tray-open", &err);

|- goto out;
|+ goto out_obj;
| }
|- visit_end_struct(v, &err);
|+out_obj:
|+ visit_end_struct(v, err ? NULL : &err);
| if (err) {
| goto out;
| }
|
| obj = qmp_output_get_qobject(qov);
|- g_assert(obj != NULL);
|+ g_assert(obj);
|
| qdict_put_obj(qmp, "data", obj);
| emit(QAPI_EVENT_DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED, qmp, &err);
Note that the 'goto out_obj' with no intervening code before the
label, as well as the construct of 'err ? NULL : &err', are both
a bit unusual but also temporary; they get fixed in a later patch
that splits visit_end_struct() to drop its errp parameter by moving
some checking before the label. But until that time, this was the
simplest way to avoid the appearance of passing a possibly-set
error to visit_end_struct(), even though actual code inspection
shows that visit_end_struct() for a QMP output visitor will never
set an error.

Backports commit 291928a80f39670929fcce222acd5e21d1434692 from qemu
It should be fairly obvious that qapi base classes need to
form an acyclic graph, since QMP cannot specify the same
key more than once, while base classes are included as flat
members alongside other members added by the child. But the
old check_member_clash() parser function was not prepared to
check for this, and entered an infinite recursion (at least
until Python gives up, complaining about nesting too deep).
Now that check_member_clash() has been recently removed,
attempts at self-inheritance trigger an assertion failure
introduced by commit ac88219a. The obvious fix is to turn
the assertion into a conditional.
This patch includes both the tests (base-cycle-direct and
base-cycle-indirect) and the fix, since the .err file output
for the unfixed case is not useful (particularly when it was
warning about unbounded recursion, as that limit may be
platform-specific).
We don't need to worry about cycles in flat unions (neither
the base type nor the type of a variant can be a union) nor
in alternates (alternate branches cannot themselves be an
alternate). But if we later allow a union type as a variant,
we will still be okay, as QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariants.check()
triggers the same QAPISchemaObjectType.check() that will
detect any loops.
Likewise, we need not worry about the case of diamond
inheritance where the same class is used for a flat union base
class and one of its variants; either both uses will introduce
a collision in trying to insert the same member name twice, or
the shared type is empty and changes nothing.
Backports commit bac5429ccb4f41d421ec641b11f1852c8420fdb7 from qemu
With the recent commit 'qapi: Detect collisions in C member
names', we have two different locations for detecting clashes -
one at parse time, and another at QAPISchema*.check() time.
Remove all of the ad hoc parser checks, and delete associated
code (for example, the global check_member_clash() method is
no longer needed).
Testing this showed that the test union-bad-branch wasn't adding
much: union-clash-branches also exposes the error message when
branches collide, and we've recently fixed things to avoid an
implicit collision with max. Likewise, the error for
enum-clash-member changes to report our new detection of
upper case in a value name, unless we modify the test to use
all lower case.
The wording of several error messages has changed, but the
change is generally an improvement rather than a regression.
No change to generated code.
Backports commit 01cfbaa4c36ecd9f1c7bcbad50c92758e1d147c4 from qemu
We document that members of enums and objects should be
'lower-case', although we were not enforcing it. We have to
whitelist a few pre-existing entities that violate the norms.
Add three new tests to expose the new error message, each of
which first uses the whitelisted name 'UuidInfo' to prove the
whitelist works, then triggers the failure (this is the same
pattern used in the existing returns-whitelist.json test).
Note that by adding this check, we have effectively forbidden
an entity with a case-insensitive clash of member names, for
any entity that is not on the whitelist (although there is
still the possibility to clash via '-' vs. '_').
Not done here: a future patch should also add naming convention
support and whitelist exceptions for command, event, and type
names.
The additions to QAPISchemaMember.check_clash() check whether
info['name'] is in the whitelist (the top-most entity name at
the point 'info' tracks), rather than self.owner (the type,
possibly implicit, that directly owns the member), because it
is easier to maintain the whitelist by the names actually in
the user's .json file, rather than worrying about the names
of implicit types.
Backports commit 893e1f2c5170d54316f1dcf3fefae679175622fc from qemu
Rather than using just an array of strings, make enum.values be
an array of the new QAPISchemaMember type, and add a helper
member_names() method to get back at the original list of names.
Likewise, creating an enum requires wrapping strings, via a new
QAPISchema._make_enum_members() method. The benefit of wrapping
enum members in a QAPISchemaMember Python object is that we now
share the existing code for C name clash detection (although the
code is not yet active until a later commit removes the earlier
ad hoc parser checks).
In a related change, the QAPISchemaMember._pretty_owner() method
needs to learn about one more implicit type name: the generated
enum associated with a simple union.
In the interest of keeping the changes of this patch local to one
file, the visitor interface still passes just a list of names
rather than the full list of QAPISchemaMember instances. We may
want to revisit this in the future, if the consistency with
visit_object_type() is worth it.

We want to share some clash detection code between enum values

for type and optional flag.

The QMP input visitor allows integral values to be assigned by
promotion to a QTYPE_QFLOAT. However, when parsing an alternate,
we did not take this into account, such that an alternate that
accepts 'number' and some other type, but not 'int', would reject
integral values.
With this patch, we now have the following desirable table:
alternate has case selected for
'int' 'number' QTYPE_QINT QTYPE_QFLOAT
no no error error
no yes 'number' 'number'
yes no 'int' error
yes yes 'int' 'number'
While it is unlikely that we will ever use 'number' in an
alternate other than in the testsuite, it never hurts to be
more precise in what we allow.

Backports commit 9d3f3494c5b941774e2c3e7639332d53bbe6f8be from qemu
Previously, the generated code in qapi-types.c initialized all
enum lookup tables first, prior to any other definitions. But
there are no topological sorting requirements that mandate this
layout, so we can drop the QAPISchemaGenTypeVisitor._fwdefn
field and just generate all definitions in visitation order.
The generated code shows some churn due to reordering, but it
is still fairly straightforward to follow (all the deletions
occur in one hunk, and all the deleted lines are re-inserted
in the same order later in the same files, just spread across
multiple insertion points).
Backports commit 0b2e84ba774651656771ed697dee8825759dffa9 from qemu
Previously, working with alternates required two lookup arrays
and some indirection: for type Foo, we created Foo_qtypes[]
which maps each qtype to a value of the generated FooKind enum,
then look up that value in FooKind_lookup[] like we do for other
union types.
This has a couple of subtle bugs. First, the generator was
creating a call with a parameter '(int *) &(*obj)->type' where
type is an enum type; this is unsafe if the compiler chooses
to store the enum type in a different size than int, where
assigning through the wrong size pointer can corrupt data or
cause a SIGBUS.
Related bug, not not fixed in this patch: qapi-visit.py's
gen_visit_enum() generates a cast of its enum * argument to
int *. Marked FIXME.
Second, since the values of the FooKind enum start at zero, all
entries of the Foo_qtypes[] array that were not explicitly
initialized will map to the same branch of the union as the
first member of the alternate, rather than triggering a desired
failure in visit_get_next_type(). Fortunately, the bug seldom
bites; the very next thing the input visitor does is try to
parse the incoming JSON with the wrong parser, which normally
fails; the output visitor is not used with a C struct in that
state, and the dealloc visitor has nothing to clean up (so
there is no leak).
However, the second bug IS observable in one case: parsing an
integer causes unusual behavior in an alternate that contains
at least a 'number' member but no 'int' member, because the
'number' parser accepts QTYPE_QINT in addition to the expected
QTYPE_QFLOAT (that is, since 'int' is not a member, the type
QTYPE_QINT accidentally maps to FooKind 0; if this enum value
is the 'number' branch the integer parses successfully, but if
the 'number' branch is not first, some other branch tries to
parse the integer and rejects it). A later patch will worry
about fixing alternates to always parse all inputs that a
non-alternate 'number' would accept, for now this is still
marked FIXME in the updated test-qmp-input-visitor.c, to
merely point out that new undesired behavior of 'ans' matches
the existing undesired behavior of 'asn'.
This patch fixes the default-initialization bug by deleting the
indirection, and modifying get_next_type() to directly assign a
QTypeCode parameter. This in turn fixes the type-casting bug,
as we are no longer casting a pointer to enum to a questionable
size. There is no longer a need to generate an implicit FooKind
enum associated with the alternate type (since the QMP wire
format never uses the stringized counterparts of the C union
member names). Since the updated visit_get_next_type() does not
know which qtypes are expected, the generated visitor is
modified to generate an error statement if an unexpected type is
encountered.
Callers now have to know the QTYPE_* mapping when looking at the
discriminator; but so far, only the testsuite was even using the
C struct of an alternate types. I considered the possibility of
keeping the internal enum FooKind, but initialized differently
than most generated arrays, as in:
typedef enum FooKind {
FOO_KIND_A = QTYPE_QDICT,
FOO_KIND_B = QTYPE_QINT,
} FooKind;
to create nicer aliases for knowing when to use foo->a or foo->b
when inspecting foo->type; but it turned out to add too much
complexity, especially without a client.
There is a user-visible side effect to this change, but I
consider it to be an improvement. Previously,
the invalid QMP command:
{"execute":"blockdev-add", "arguments":{"options":
{"driver":"raw", "id":"a", "file":true}}}
failed with:
{"error": {"class": "GenericError",
"desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'file', expected: QDict"}}
(visit_get_next_type() succeeded, and the error comes from the
visit_type_BlockdevOptions() expecting {}; there is no mention of
the fact that a string would also work). Now it fails with:
{"error": {"class": "GenericError",
"desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'file', expected: BlockdevRef"}}
(the error when the next type doesn't match any expected types for
the overall alternate).
Backports commit 0426d53c6530606bf7641b83f2b755fe61c280ee from qemu
What's more meta than using qapi to define qapi? :)
Convert QType into a full-fledged[*] builtin qapi enum type, so
that a subsequent patch can then use it as the discriminator
type of qapi alternate types. Fortunately, the judicious use of
'prefix' in the qapi definition avoids churn to the spelling of
the enum constants.
To avoid circular definitions, we have to flip the order of
inclusion between "qobject.h" vs. "qapi-types.h". Back in commit
28770e0, we had the latter include the former, so that we could
use 'QObject *' for our implementation of 'any'. But that usage
also works with only a forward declaration, whereas the
definition of QObject requires QType to be a complete type.
[*] The type has to be builtin, rather than declared in
qapi/common.json, because we want to use it for alternates even
when common.json is not included. But since it is the first
builtin enum type, we have to add special cases to qapi-types
and qapi-visit to only emit definitions once, even when two
qapi files are being compiled into the same binary (the way we
already handled builtin list types like 'intList'). We may
need to revisit how multiple qapi files share common types,
but that's a project for another day.
Backports commit 7264f5c50cc1be0f1406e3ebb45aedcca02f603a from qemu
The name QType matches our CODING_STYLE conventions for type names
in CamelCase. It also matches the fact that we are already naming
all the enum members with a prefix of QTYPE, not QTYPE_CODE. And
doing the rename will also make it easier for the next patch to use
QAPI for providing the enum, which also wants CamelCase type names.
Backports commit 1310a3d3bd9301ff5a825287638cfab24c2c6689 from qemu
When munging enum values, the fact that we were passing the entire
prefix + value through camel_to_upper() meant that enum values
spelled with CamelCase could be turned into CAMEL_CASE. However,
this provides a potential collision (both OneTwo and One-Two would
munge into ONE_TWO) for enum types, when the same two names are
valid side-by-side as QAPI member names. By changing the generation
of enum constants to always be prefix + '_' + c_name(value,
False).upper(), and ensuring that there are no case collisions (in
the next patches), we no longer have to worry about names that
would be distinct as QAPI members but collide as variant tag names,
without having to think about what munging the heuristics in
camel_to_upper() will actually perform on an enum value.
Making the change will affect enums that did not follow coding
conventions, using 'CamelCase' rather than desired 'lower-case'.
Thankfully, there are only two culprits: InputButton and ErrorClass.
We already tweaked ErrorClass to make it an alias of QapiErrorClass,
where only the alias needs changing rather than the whole tree. So
the bulk of this change is modifying INPUT_BUTTON_WHEEL_UP to the
new INPUT_BUTTON_WHEELUP (and likewise for WHEELDOWN). That part
of this commit may later need reverting if we rename the enum
constants from 'WheelUp' to 'wheel-up' as part of moving
x-input-send-event to a stable interface; but at least we have
documentation bread crumbs in place to remind us (commit 513e7cd),
and it matches the fact that SDL constants are also spelled
SDL_BUTTON_WHEELUP.

Backports commit 7fb1cf1606c78c9d5b538f29176fd5a101726a9d from qemu
We already documented that qapi names should match specific
patterns (such as starting with a letter unless it was an enum
value or a downstream extension). Tighten that from a suggestion
into a hard requirement, which frees up names beginning with a
single underscore for qapi internal usage.
The tighter regex doesn't forbid everything insane that a user
could provide (for example, a user could name a type 'Foo-lookup'
to collide with the generated 'Foo_lookup[]' for an enum 'Foo'),
but does a good job at protecting the most obvious uses, and
also happens to reserve single leading underscore for later use.
The handling of enum values starting with a digit is tricky:
commit 9fb081e introduced a subtle bug by using c_name() on
a munged value, which would allow an enum to include the
member 'q-int' in spite of our reservation. Furthermore,
munging with a leading '_' would fail our tighter regex. So
fix it by only munging for leading digits (which are never
ticklish in c_name()) and by using a different prefix (I
picked 'D', although any letter should do).
Add new tests, reserved-member-underscore and reserved-enum-q,
to demonstrate the tighter checking.
Backports commit 59a92feedc6927e0e1ff87fdaccfb4dd42ad4c84 from qemu
The method c_name() is supposed to do two different actions: munge
'-' into '_', and add a 'q_' prefix to ticklish names. But it did
these steps out of order, making it possible to submit input that
is not ticklish until after munging, where the output then lacked
the desired prefix.
The failure is exposed easily if you have a compiler that recognizes
C11 keywords, and try to name a member '_Thread-local', as it would
result in trying to compile the declaration 'uint64_t _Thread_local;'
which is not valid. However, this name violates our conventions
(ultimately, want to enforce that no qapi names start with single
underscore), so the test is slightly weaker by instead testing
'wchar-t'; the declaration 'uint64_t wchar_t;' is valid in C (where
wchar_t is only a typedef) but would fail with a C++ compiler (where
it is a keyword).
Fix things by reversing the order of actions within c_name().

Detect attempts to declare two object members that would result

of the C name rather than the qapi name. It also requires passing
info through the check_clash() methods.
This addresses a TODO and fixes the previously-broken
args-name-clash test. The resulting error message demonstrates
the utility of the .describe() method added previously. No change

Backports commit 27b60ab93bd1d5d8c85f009aac7a97ffd2c53c86 from qemu
Future commits will migrate semantic checking away from parsing
and over to the various QAPISchema*.check() methods. But to
report an error message about an incorrect semantic use of a
member of an object type, it helps to know which type, command,
or event owns the member. In particular, when a member is
inherited from a base type, it is desirable to associate the
member name with the base type (and not the type calling
member.check()).
Rather than packing additional information into the seen array
passed to each member.check() (as in seen[m.name] = {'member':m,
'owner':type}), it is easier to have each member track the name
of the owner type in the first place (keeping things simpler
with the existing seen[m.name] = m). The new member.owner field
is set via a new set_owner() method, called when registering
the members and variants arrays with an object or variant type.
Track only a name, and not the actual type object, to avoid
creating a circular python reference chain.
Note that Variants.set_owner() method does not set the owner
for the tag_member field; this field is set earlier either as
part of an object's non-variant members, or explicitly by
alternates.
The source information is intended for human consumption in
error messages, and a new describe() method is added to access
the resulting information. For example, given the qapi:
{ 'command': 'foo', 'data': { 'string': 'str' } }
an implementation of visit_command() that calls
arg_type.members[0].describe()
will see "'string' (parameter of foo)".
To make the human-readable name of implicit types work without
duplicating efforts, the describe() method has to reverse the
name of implicit types, via the helper _pretty_owner().

Checking that a given QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariant.name is a
member of the corresponding QAPISchemaEnumType of the owning
QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariants.tag_member ensures that there are
no collisions in the generated C union for those tag values
(since the enum itself should have no collisions).
However, ever since its introduction in f51d8c3d, this was the
only additional action of of Variant.check(), beyond calling
the superclass Member.check(). This forces a difference in
.check() signatures, just to pass the enum type down.
Simplify things by instead doing the tag name check as part of
Variants.check(), at which point we can rely on inheritance
instead of overriding Variant.check().

to make the same check, so we can later reduce some of the ad
hoc checks.
We already have a map 'seen' of all non-variant members. We
still need to check for collisions between each variant type's
members and the non-variant ones.
To know the variant type's members, we need to call
variant.type.check(). This also detects when a type contains
itself in a variant, exactly like the existing base.check()
detects when a type contains itself as a base. (Except that
we currently forbid anything but a struct as the type of a
variant, so we can't actually trigger this type of loop yet.)
Slight complication: an alternate's variant can have arbitrary
type, but only an object type's check() may be called outside
QAPISchema.check(). We could either skip the call for variants
of alternates, or skip it for non-object types. For now, do
the latter, because it's easier.
Then we call each variant member's check_clash() with the
appropriate 'seen' map. Since members of different variants
can't clash, we have to clone a fresh seen for each variant.
Wrap this in a new helper method
QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariants.check_clash().
Note that cloning 'seen' inside .check_clash() resembles
the one we just removed from .check() in 'qapi: Drop
obsolete tag value collision assertions'; the difference here is
that we are now checking for clashes among the qapi members of
the variant type, rather than for a single clash with the variant
tag name itself.
Note that, by construction, collisions can't actually happen for
simple unions: each variant's type is a wrapper with a single
member 'data', which will never collide with the only non-variant
member 'type'.
For alternates, there's nothing for a variant object type's
members to clash with, and therefore no need to call the new
variants.check_clash().
No change to generated code.

The idea to use c_name(m.name) instead of m.name for collision
checking is sound, because we need to catch clashes between the m.name

QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember.check() currently does four things:
1. Compute self.type
2. Accumulate members in all_members
Only one caller cares: QAPISchemaObjectType.check() uses it to
compute self.members. The other callers pass a throw-away
accumulator.
3. Accumulate a map from names to members in seen
Only one caller cares: QAPISchemaObjectType.check() uses it to
compute its local variable seen, for self.variants.check(), which
uses it to compute self.variants.tag_member from
self.variants.tag_name. The other callers pass a throw-away
accumulator.
4. Check for collisions
This piggybacks on 3: before adding a new entry, we assert it's new.

We were previously creating all unions with an empty list for
local_members. However, it will make it easier to unify struct
and union generation if we include the generated tag member in
local_members. That way, we can have a common code pattern:
visit the base (if any), visit the local members (if any), visit
the variants (if any). The local_members of a flat union
remains empty (because the discriminator is already visited as
part of the base). Then, by visiting tag_member.check() during
AlternateType.check(), we no longer need to call it during
Variants.check().
The various front end entities now exist as follows:
struct: optional base, optional local_members, no variants
simple union: no base, one-element local_members, variants with tag_member
from local_members
flat union: base, no local_members, variants with tag_member from base
alternate: no base, no local_members, variants
With the new local members, we require a bit of finesse to
avoid assertions in the clients.

Now that we have separated union tag values from colliding with
non-variant C names, by naming the union 'u', we should reserve
this name for our use. Note that we want to forbid 'u' even in
a struct with no variants, because it is possible for a future
qemu release to extend QMP in a backwards-compatible manner while
converting from a struct to a flat union. Fortunately, no
existing clients were using this member name. If we ever find
the need for QMP to have a member 'u', we could at that time
relax things, perhaps by having c_name() munge the QMP member to
'q_u'.
Note that we cannot forbid 'u' everywhere (by adding the
rejection code to check_name()), because the existing QKeyCode
enum already uses it; therefore we only reserve it as a struct
type member name.
Backports commit 5e59baf90a72cd25d38a3134edc029f4f022da74 from qemu
We have two issues with our qapi union layout:
1) Even though the QMP wire format spells the tag 'type', the
C code spells it 'kind', requiring some hacks in the generator.
2) The C struct uses an anonymous union, which places all tag
values in the same namespace as all non-variant members. This
leads to spurious collisions if a tag value matches a non-variant
member's name.
This patch is the back end for a series that converts to a
saner qapi union layout. Now that all clients have been
converted to use 'type' and 'obj->u.value', we can drop the
temporary parallel support for 'kind' and 'obj->value'.
Given a simple union qapi type:
{ 'union':'Foo', 'data': { 'a':'int', 'b':'bool' } }
this is the overall effect, when compared to the state before
this series of patches:
| struct Foo {
|- FooKind kind;
|- union { /* union tag is @kind */
|+ FooKind type;
|+ union { /* union tag is @type */
| void *data;
| int64_t a;
| bool b;
|- };
|+ } u;
| };
The testsuite still contains some examples of artificial restrictions
(see flat-union-clash-type.json, for example) that are no longer
technically necessary, now that there is no longer a collision between
enum tag values and non-variant member names; but fixing this will be
done in later patches, in part because some further changes are required
to keep QAPISchema*.check() from asserting. Also, a later patch will
add a reservation for the member name 'u' to avoid a collision between a
user's non-variant names and our internal choice of C union name.
Note, however, that we do not rename the generated enum, which
is still 'FooKind'. A further patch could generate implicit
enums as 'FooType', but while the generator already reserved
the '*Kind' namespace (commit 4dc2e69), there are already QMP
constructs with '*Type' naming, which means changing our
reservation namespace would have lots of churn to C code to
deal with a forced name change.

This patch is the front end for a series that converts to a
saner qapi union layout. By the end of the series, we will no
longer have the type/kind mismatch, and all tag values will be
under a named union, which requires clients to access
'obj->u.value' instead of 'obj->value'. But since the
conversion touches a number of files, it is easiest if we
temporarily support BOTH layouts simultaneously.
Given a simple union qapi type:
{ 'union':'Foo', 'data': { 'a':'int', 'b':'bool' } }
make the following changes in generated qapi-types.h:
| struct Foo {
|- FooKind kind;
|- union { /* union tag is @kind */
|+ union {
|+ FooKind kind;
|+ FooKind type;
|+ };
|+ union { /* union tag is @type */

| bool b;
|+ union { /* union tag is @type */
|+ void *data;
|+ int64_t a;
|+ bool b;
|+ } u;
| };
| };
Flat unions do not need the anonymous union for the tag member,
as we already fixed that to use the member name instead of 'kind'
back in commit 0f61af3e.
One additional change is needed in qapi.py: check_union() now
needs to check for collisions with 'type' in addition to those
with 'kind'.
Later, when the conversions are complete, we will remove the
duplication hacks, and also drop the check_union() restrictions.
Note, however, that we do not rename the generated enum, which
is still 'FooKind'. A further patch could generate implicit
enums as 'FooType', but while the generator already reserved
the '*Kind' namespace (commit 4dc2e69), there are already QMP

Backports commit f51d8fab44b231aa299d8de24cfdf9ba41ef4a21 from qemu
The code for visiting the base class of a child struct created
visit_type_Base_fields() which covers all fields of Base; while
the code for visiting the base class of a flat union created
visit_type_Union_fields() covering all fields of the base
except the discriminator. But since the base class includes
the discriminator of a flat union, we can just visit the entire
base, without needing a separate visit of the discriminator.
Not only is consistently visiting all fields easier to
understand, it lets us share code.

visit_type_UNION_fields(), along with changes like:

Backports commit 5c5e51a05b567fd48fb155d94ca6f7679dd0d478 from qemu
Rather than storing a base class as a pointer to a box, just
store the fields of that base class in the same order, so that
a child struct can be directly cast to its parent. This gives
less malloc overhead, less pointer dereferencing, and even less
generated code. Compare to the earlier commit 1e6c1616a "qapi:
Generate a nicer struct for flat unions" (although that patch
had fewer places to change, as less of qemu was directly using
qapi structs for flat unions). It also allows us to turn on
automatic type-safe wrappers for upcasting to the base class
of a struct.
Changes to the generated code look like this in qapi-types.h:
| struct SpiceChannel {
|- SpiceBasicInfo *base;
|+ /* Members inherited from SpiceBasicInfo: */
|+ char *host;
|+ char *port;
|+ NetworkAddressFamily family;
|+ /* Own members: */
| int64_t connection_id;
as well as additional upcast functions like qapi_SpiceChannel_base().
Meanwhile, changes to qapi-visit.c look like:
| static void visit_type_SpiceChannel_fields(Visitor *v, SpiceChannel **obj, Error **errp)
| {
| Error *err = NULL;
|
|- visit_type_implicit_SpiceBasicInfo(v, &(*obj)->base, &err);
|+ visit_type_SpiceBasicInfo_fields(v, (SpiceBasicInfo **)obj, &err);
| if (err) {
(the cast is necessary, since our upcast wrappers only deal with a
single pointer, not pointer-to-pointer); plus the wholesale
elimination of some now-unused visit_type_implicit_FOO() functions.
Without boxing, the corner case of one empty struct having
another empty struct as its base type now requires inserting a
dummy member (previously, the 'Base *base' member sufficed).
And now that we no longer consume a 'base' member in the generated
C struct, we can delete the former negative struct-base-clash-base
test.
Backports commit ddf21908961073199f3d186204da4810f2ea150b from qemu
A previous patch (commit 1e6c1616) made it possible to
directly cast from a qapi flat union type to its base type.
However, it requires the use of a C cast, which turns off
compiler type-safety checks. Fortunately, no such casts
exist, just yet.
Regardless, add inline type-safe wrappers named
qapi_FOO_base() for any union type FOO that has a base,
which can be used for a safer upcast, and enhance the
testsuite to cover the new functionality.
A future patch will extend the upcast support to structs,
where such conversions do exist already.
Note that C makes const-correct upcasts annoying because
it lacks overloads; these functions cast away const so that
they can accept user pointers whether const or not, and the
result in turn can be assigned to normal or const pointers.
Alternatively, this could have been done with macros, but
type-safe macros are hairy, and not worthwhile here.
This patch just adds upcasts. None of our code needed to
downcast from a base qapi class to a child. Also, in the
case of grandchildren (such as BlockdevOptionsQcow2), the
caller will need to call two functions to get to the inner
base (although it wouldn't be too hard to generate a
qapi_FOO_base_base() if desired). If a user changes qapi
to alter the base class hierarchy, such as going from
'A -> C' to 'A -> B -> C', it will change the type of
'qapi_C_base()', and the compiler will point out the places
that are affected by the new base.
One alternative was proposed, but was deemed too ugly to use
in practice: the generators could output redundant
information using anonymous types:
| struct Child {
| union {
| struct {
| Type1 parent_member1;
| Type2 parent_member2;
| };
| Parent base;
| };
| };
With that ugly proposal, for a given qapi type, obj->member
and obj->base.member would refer to the same storage; allowing
convenience in working with members without needing 'base.'
allowing typesafe upcast without needing a C cast by accessing
'&obj->base', and allowing downcasts from the parent back to
the child possible through container_of(obj, Child, base).

Backports commit d02cf37766ba3cf918d7085aa7848c9dc05fd11a from qemu
c_name() produces names starting with 'q_' when protecting a
dictionary member name that would fail to directly compile, but
in doing so can cause clashes with any member name already
beginning with 'q-' or 'q_'. Likewise, we create a C name 'has_'
for any optional member that can clash with any member name
beginning with 'has-' or 'has_'.
Technically, rather than blindly reserving the namespace,
we could try to complain about user names only when an actual
collision occurs, or even teach c_name() how to munge names
to avoid collisions. But it is not trivial, especially when
collisions can occur across multiple types (such as via
inheritance or flat unions). Besides, no existing .json
files are trying to use these names. So it's easier to just
outright forbid the potential for collision. We can always
relax things in the future if a real need arises for QMP to
express member names that have been forbidden here.
'has_' only has to be reserved for struct/union member names,
while 'q_' is reserved everywhere (matching the fact that
only members can be optional, while we use c_name() for munging
both members and entities). Note that we could relax 'q_'
restrictions on entities independently from member names; for
example, c_name('qmp_' + 'unix') would result in a different
function name than our current 'qmp_' + c_name('unix').

Backports commit 8712fa5333ad348da20034b717dd814219d1ec11 from qemu
A future patch will move some error checking from the parser
to the various QAPISchema*.check() methods, which run only
after parsing completes. It will thus be possible to create
a python instance representing an implicit QAPI type that
parses fine but will fail validation during check(). Since
all errors have to have an associated 'info' location, we
need a location to be associated with those implicit types.
The intuitive info to use is the location of the enclosing
entity that caused the creation of the implicit type.
Note that we do not anticipate builtin types being used in
an error message (as they are not part of the user's QAPI
input, the user can't cause a semantic error in their
behavior), so we exempt those types from requiring info, by
setting a flag to track the completion of _def_predefineds(),
and tracking that flag in _def_entity().

This is different from every other implicit QAPISchemaEntity
object, which get created by QAPISchema methods. Hoist the
creation to the caller (renaming _make_tag_enum() to
_make_implicit_tag()), and pass the entity rather than the
string name, so that we have the nice property that no
entities are created as a side effect within a different
entity. A later patch will then have an easier time of
associating location info with each entity creation.

Backports commit 46292ba75c515baf733df18644052b2ce9492728 from qemu
Commit ac88219a had several TODO markers about whether we needed
to automatically create the corresponding array type alongside
any other type. It turns out that most of the time, we don't!
There are a few exceptions: 1) We have a few situations where we
use an array type in internal code but do not expose that type
through QMP; fix it by declaring a dummy type that forces the
generator to see that we want to use the array type.
2) The builtin arrays (such as intList for QAPI ['int']) must
always be generated, because of the way our QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN
compile guard works: we have situations (at the very least
tests/test-qmp-output-visitor.c) that include both top-level
"qapi-types.h" (via "error.h") and a secondary
"test-qapi-types.h". If we were to only emit the builtin types
when used locally, then the first .h file would not include all
types, but the second .h does not declare anything at all because
the first .h set QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN, and we would end up with
compilation error due to things like unknown type 'int8List'.
Actually, we may need to revisit how we do type guards, and
change from a single QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN over to a different
usage pattern that does one #ifdef per qapi type - right now,
the only types that are declared multiple times between two qapi
.json files for inclusion by a single .c file happen to be the
builtin arrays. But now that we have QAPI 'include' statements,
it is logical to assume that we will soon reach a point where
we want to reuse non-builtin types (yes, I'm thinking about what
it will take to add introspection to QGA, where we will want to
reuse the SchemaInfo type and friends). One #ifdef per type
will help ensure that generating the same qapi type into more
than one qapi-types.h won't cause collisions when both are
included in the same .c file; but we also have to solve how to
avoid creating duplicate qapi-types.c entry points. So that
is a problem left for another day.
Generated code for qapi-types and qapi-visit is drastically
reduced; less than a third of the arrays that were blindly
created were actually needed (a quick grep shows we dropped
from 219 to 69 *List types), and the .o files lost more than
30% of their bulk. [For best results, diff the generated
files with 'git diff --patience --no-index pre post'.]
Interestingly, the introspection output is unchanged - this is
because we already cull all types that are not indirectly
reachable from a command or event, so introspection was already
using only a subset of array types. The subset of types
introspected is now a much larger percentage of the overall set
of array types emitted in qapi-types.h (since the larger set
shrunk), but still not 100% (evidence that the array types
emitted for our new Dummy structs, and the new struct itself,
don't affect QMP).
Backports commit 9f08c8ec73878122ad4b061ed334f0437afaaa32 from qemu
A future patch will enable error reporting from the various
QAPISchema*.check() methods. But to report an error related
to an implicit type, we'll need to associate a location with
the type (the same location as the top-level entity that is
causing the creation of the implicit type), and once we do
that, keying off of whether foo.info exists is no longer a
viable way to determine if foo is an implicit type.
Instead, add an is_implicit() method to QAPISchemaEntity, and use it.
It can be overridden later for ObjectType and EnumType, when implicit
instances of those classes gain info.
Backports commit 49823c4b4304a3e4aa5d67e089946b12d6a52d64 from qemu
The next few patches will start migrating error checking from
ad hoc parse methods into the QAPISchema*.check() methods. But
for an error message to display, we first have to fix the
overall 'try' to catch those errors. We also want to enable a
few more assertions, such as making sure every attempt to
raise a semantic error is passed a valid location info, or that
various preconditions hold.
The general approach for moving error checking will then be to
relax an assertion into an if that raises an exception if the
condition does not hold, and removing the counterpart ad hoc
check done during the parse phase.
Backports commit 7618b91ff80ec42b84b29be24d8ef53ddb377110 from qemu
Previously, qapi-types and qapi-visit filtered out implicit
objects during visit_object_type() by using 'info' (works since
implicit objects do not [yet] have associated info); meanwhile
qapi-introspect filtered out all schema types on the first pass
by returning a python type from visit_begin(), which was then
used at a distance in QAPISchema.visit() to do the filtering.
Rather than keeping these ad hoc approaches, add a new visitor
callback visit_needed() which returns False to skip a given
entity, and which defaults to True unless overridden. Use the
new mechanism to simplify all three filtering visitors.
No change to the generated code.

Consolidate the code between visit, command marshalling, and
event generation that iterates over the members of a struct.
It reduces code duplication in the generator, so that a future
patch can reduce the size of generated code while touching only
one instead of three locations.
There are no changes to the generated marshal code.
The visitor code becomes slightly more verbose, but remains
semantically equivalent, and is actually easier to read as
it follows a more common idiom:
| visit_optional(v, &(*obj)->has_device, "device", &err);
|- if (!err && (*obj)->has_device) {
|- visit_type_str(v, &(*obj)->device, "device", &err);
|- }
| if (err) {
| goto out;
| }
|+ if ((*obj)->has_device) {
|+ visit_type_str(v, &(*obj)->device, "device", &err);
|+ if (err) {
|+ goto out;
|+ }
|+ }
The event code becomes slightly more verbose, but this is
arguably a bug fix: although the visitors are not well
documented, use of an optional member should not be attempted
unless guarded by a prior call to visit_optional(). Works only
because the output qmp visitor has a no-op visit_optional():
|+ visit_optional(v, &has_offset, "offset", &err);
|+ if (err) {
|+ goto out;
|+ }
| if (has_offset) {
| visit_type_int(v, &offset, "offset", &err);

We had some pointless differences in the generated code for visit,
command marshalling, and events; unifying them makes it easier for
future patches to consolidate to common helper functions.
This is one patch of a series to clean up these differences.
This patch reduces the number of push_indent()/pop_indent() pairs
so that generated code is typically already at its natural output
indentation in the python files. It is easier to reason about
generated code if the reader does not have to track how much
spacing will be inserted alongside the code, and moreso when all
of the generators use the same patterns (qapi-type and qapi-event
were already using in-place indentation).
Arguably, the resulting python may be a bit harder to read with C
code at the same indentation as python; on the other hand, not
having to think about push_indent() is a win, and most decent
editors provide syntax highlighting that makes it easier to
visually distinguish python code from string literals that will
become C code.
There is no change to the generated output.

Backports commit 376863ef4895ae709aadb6f26365a5973310ef09 from qemu
The previous commit added two tests that triggered an assertion
failure. It's fairly straightforward to avoid the failure by
just outright forbidding the collision between a union's tag
values and its discriminator name (including the implicit name
'kind' supplied for simple unions [*]). Ultimately, we'd like
to move the collision detection into QAPISchema*.check(), but
for now it is easier just to enhance the existing checks.
[*] Of course, down the road, we have plans to rename the simple
union tag name to 'type' to match the QMP wire name, but the
idea of the collision will still be present even then.
Technically, we could avoid the collision by naming the C union
members representing each enum value as '_case_value' rather
than 'value'; but until we have an actual qapi client (and not
just our testsuite) that has a legitimate reason to match a
case label to the name of a QMP key and needs the name munging
to satisfy the compiler, it's easier to just reject the qapi
as invalid.

Backports commit 7408fb67c0f9403f6e40aecf97cf798fc14e2cd8 from qemu
qapi/introspect.json defines the introspection schema. It's designed
for QMP introspection, but should do for similar uses, such as QGA.
The introspection schema does not reflect all the rules and
restrictions that apply to QAPI schemata. A valid QAPI schema has an
introspection value conforming to the introspection schema, but the
converse is not true.
Introspection lowers away a number of schema details, and makes
implicit things explicit:
* The built-in types are declared with their JSON type.
All integer types are mapped to 'int', because how many bits we use
internally is an implementation detail. It could be pressed into
external interface service as very approximate range information,
but that's a bad idea. If we need range information, we better do
it properly.
* Implicit type definitions are made explicit, and given
auto-generated names:
- Array types, named by appending "List" to the name of their
element type, like in generated C.
- The enumeration types implicitly defined by simple union types,
named by appending "Kind" to the name of their simple union type,
like in generated C.
- Types that don't occur in generated C. Their names start with ':'
so they don't clash with the user's names.
* All type references are by name.
* The struct and union types are generalized into an object type.
* Base types are flattened.
* Commands take a single argument and return a single result.
Dictionary argument or list result is an implicit type definition.
The empty object type is used when a command takes no arguments or
produces no results.
The argument is always of object type, but the introspection schema
doesn't reflect that.
The 'gen': false directive is omitted as implementation detail.
The 'success-response' directive is omitted as well for now, even
though it's not an implementation detail, because it's not used by
QMP.
* Events carry a single data value.
Implicit type definition and empty object type use, just like for
commands.
The value is of object type, but the introspection schema doesn't
reflect that.
* Types not used by commands or events are omitted.
Indirect use counts as use.
* Optional members have a default, which can only be null right now
Instead of a mandatory "optional" flag, we have an optional default.
No default means mandatory, default null means optional without
default value. Non-null is available for optional with default
(possible future extension).
* Clients should *not* look up types by name, because type names are
not ABI. Look up the command or event you're interested in, then
follow the references.
TODO Should we hide the type names to eliminate the temptation?
New generator scripts/qapi-introspect.py computes an introspection
value for its input, and generates a C variable holding it.
It can generate awfully long lines. Marked TODO.
A new test-qmp-input-visitor test case feeds its result for both
tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json and qapi-schema.json to a
QmpInputVisitor to verify it actually conforms to the schema.
New QMP command query-qmp-schema takes its return value from that
variable. Its reply is some 85KiBytes for me right now.
If this turns out to be too much, we have a couple of options:
* We can use shorter names in the JSON. Not the QMP style.
* Optionally return the sub-schema for commands and events given as
arguments.
Right now qmp_query_schema() sends the string literal computed by
qmp-introspect.py. To compute sub-schema at run time, we'd have to
duplicate parts of qapi-introspect.py in C. Unattractive.
* Let clients cache the output of query-qmp-schema.
It changes only on QEMU upgrades, i.e. rarely. Provide a command
query-qmp-schema-hash. Clients can have a cache indexed by hash,
and re-query the schema only when they don't have it cached. Even
simpler: put the hash in the QMP greeting.

'data': { 'string': 'str', 'enum1': 'EnumOne' } }
{ 'struct': 'UserDefZero',

Patch's effect on UserDefFlatUnion:
struct UserDefFlatUnion {
/* Members inherited from UserDefUnionBase: */
+ int64_t integer;
char *string;
EnumOne enum1;
/* Own members: */
union { /* union tag is @enum1 */
void *data;
UserDefA *value1;
UserDefB *value2;
UserDefB *value3;
};
};
Flat union visitors remain broken. They'll be fixed next.
Code is generated in a different order now, but that doesn't matter.
The two guards QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN_STRUCT_DECL and
QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN_CLEANUP_DECL are replaced by just

Two ugly special cases for simple unions now stand out like sore
thumbs:
1. The type tag is named 'type' everywhere, except in generated C,
where it's 'kind'.
2. QAPISchema lowers simple unions to semantically equivalent flat
unions. However, the C generated for a simple unions differs from
the C generated for its equivalent flat union, and we therefore
need special code to preserve that pointless difference for now.
Mark both TODO.

The QAPI code generators work with a syntax tree (nested dictionaries)
plus a few symbol tables (also dictionaries) on the side.
They have clearly outgrown these simple data structures. There's lots
of rummaging around in dictionaries, and information is recomputed on
the fly. For the work I'm going to do, I want more clearly defined
and more convenient interfaces.
Going forward, I also want less coupling between the back-ends and the
syntax tree, to make messing with the syntax easier.
Create a bunch of classes to represent QAPI schemata.
Have the QAPISchema initializer call the parser, then walk the syntax
tree to create the new internal representation, and finally perform
semantic analysis.
Shortcut: the semantic analysis still relies on existing check_exprs()
to do the actual semantic checking. All this code needs to move into
the classes. Mark as TODO.
Simple unions are lowered to flat unions. Flat unions and structs are
represented as a more general object type.

The camel_to_upper() method applies some heuristics to turn
a mixed case type name into an all-uppercase name. This is
used for example, to generate enum constant name prefixes.
The heuristics don't also generate a satisfactory name
though. eg
{ 'enum': 'QCryptoTLSCredsEndpoint',
'data': ['client', 'server']}
Results in Q_CRYPTOTLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT_CLIENT. This has
an undesirable _ after the initial Q and is missing an
_ between the CRYPTO & TLS strings.
Rather than try to add more and more heuristics to try
to cope with this, simply allow the QAPI schema to
specify the desired enum constant prefix explicitly.
eg
{ 'enum': 'QCryptoTLSCredsEndpoint',
'prefix': 'QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT',
'data': ['client', 'server']}
Now gives the QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT_CLIENT name.

check_type() first checks and peels off the array type, then checks
the element type. For two out of four error messages, it takes pains
to report errors for "array of T" instead of just T. Odd. Let's
examine the errors.
* Unknown element type, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/args-array-unknown.json:
Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type
'array of NoSuchType'
To make sense of this, you need to know that 'array of NoSuchType'
refers to '[NoSuchType]'. Easy enough. However, simply reporting
Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type
'NoSuchType'
is at least as easy to understand.
* Element type's meta-type is inadmissible, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/returns-whitelist.json:
'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot
use built-in type 'array of int'
'array of int' is technically not a built-in type, but that's
pedantry. However, simply reporting
'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot
use built-in type 'int'
avoids the issue, and is at least as easy to understand.
* The remaining two errors are unreachable, because the array checking
ensures that value is a string.
Thus, reporting some errors for "array of T" instead of just T works,
but doesn't really improve things. Drop it.

The struct generated for a flat union is weird: the members of its
base are at the end, except for the union tag, which is at the
beginning.
Example: qapi-schema-test.json has
{ 'struct': 'UserDefUnionBase',
'data': { 'string': 'str', 'enum1': 'EnumOne' } }
{ 'union': 'UserDefFlatUnion',
'base': 'UserDefUnionBase',
'discriminator': 'enum1',
'data': { 'value1' : 'UserDefA',
'value2' : 'UserDefB',
'value3' : 'UserDefB' } }
We generate:
struct UserDefFlatUnion
{
EnumOne enum1;
union {
void *data;
UserDefA *value1;
UserDefB *value2;
UserDefB *value3;
};
char *string;
};
Change to put all base members at the beginning, unadulterated. Not
only is this easier to understand, it also permits casting the flat
union to its base, if that should become useful.
We now generate:

Backports commit 1e6c1616a91cdcbe9a8387541f7689b8c11632aa from qemu
A flat union's tag member gets renamed to 'kind' in the generated
code. Breaks when another member named 'kind' exists.
Example, adapted from qapi-schema-test.json:
{ 'struct': 'UserDefUnionBase',
'data': { 'kind': 'str', 'enum1': 'EnumOne' } }
We generate:
struct UserDefFlatUnion
{
EnumOne kind;
union {
void *data;
UserDefA *value1;
UserDefB *value2;
UserDefB *value3;
};
char *kind;
};
Kill the silly rename.
Backports commit 0f61af3eb396ae163cd1572ce12e05f5d08d7c15 from qemu
gen_sync_call()'s parameter indent is useless: gen_sync_call() uses it
only as optional argument for push_indent() and pop_indent(), their
default is four, and gen_sync_call()'s only caller passes four. Drop
the parameter.
gen_visitor_input_containers_decl()'s parameter obj is always
"QOBJECT(args)". Use that, and drop the parameter.
Drop unused parameters of gen_marshal_output(),
gen_marshal_input_decl(), generate_visit_struct_body(),
generate_visit_list(), generate_visit_enum(), generate_declaration(),
generate_enum_declaration(), generate_decl_enum().
Drop unused variables in generate_event_enum_lookup(),
generate_enum_lookup(), generate_visit_struct_fields(), check_event().

Use c_name() instead of ad hoc code. Doesn't upcase the -p prefix,
which is an improvement in my book. Unbreaks prefix containing '.',
but other funny characters remain broken. To be fixed next.

The guards around built-in declarations lose their _H. It never made
much sense anyway.
Backports commit 00dfc3b2c272d98556ec6095d56bdd8b036babf9 from qemu
Commit 05dfb26 added eatspace stripping to mcgen(). Move it to
cgen(), just in case somebody gets tempted to use cgen() directly
instead of via mcgen().
cgen() indents blank lines. No such lines get generated right now,
but fix it anyway.
We use triple-quoted strings for program text, like this:
'''
Program text
any number of lines
'''
Keeps the program text relatively readable, but puts an extra newline
at either end. mcgen() "fixes" that by dropping the first and last
line outright. Drop only the newlines.
This unmasks a bug in qapi-commands.py: four quotes instead of three.
Fix it up.
Output doesn't change
Backports commit 77e703b861d34bb2879f3e845482d5cf0a3a0ad1 from qemu
The enum string table parameters in various QOM/QAPI methods
are declared 'const char *strings[]'. This results in const
warnings if passed a variable that was declared as
static const char * const strings[] = { .... };
Add the extra const annotation to the parameters, since
neither the string elements, nor the array itself should
ever be modified.
Backports commit 2e4450ff432daef524cb3557fca68a3b7b5c7823 from qemu
Make sure that all generated C structs have at least one field; this
avoids potential issues with attempting to malloc space for
zero-length structs in C (g_malloc(sizeof struct) would return NULL).
It also avoids an incompatibility with C++ (where an empty struct is
size 1); that isn't important to us now but might be in future.
Generated empty structures look like this:
struct Abort
{
char qapi_dummy_field_for_empty_struct;
};
This silences clang warnings like:
./qapi-types.h:3752:1: warning: empty struct has size 0 in C, size 1 in C++ [-Wextern-c-compat]
struct Abort

Useless, because it can only occur in commands, and we're not dealing
with commands here.
Backports commit 4f3568002393380558705397bda4cd5f224ffe29 from qemu
Insert comments to separate sections dealing with parsing, semantic
analysis, code generation, and so forth.
Move helpers to their proper section.

We maintain a stack of filenames in include_hist for convenient cycle
detection.
As error_path() demonstrates, the same information is readily
available in the expr_info, so just use that, and drop include_hist.

We print the name as it appears in the include expression. Tools
processing error messages want it relative to the working directory.
Make it so.

qapi: Improve a couple of confusing variable names

Mandatory option is silly, and the error handling is missing: the
programs crash when -i isn't supplied. Make it an argument, and check
it properly.
