No backend was setting an error when ending the visit of a list or
implicit struct, or when moving to the next list node. Make the
callers a bit easier to follow by making this a part of the contract,
and removing the errp argument - callers can then unconditionally end
an object as part of cleanup without having to think about whether a
second error is dominated by a first, because there is no second
error.
A later patch will then tackle the larger task of splitting
visit_end_struct(), which can indeed set an error.
Backports commit 08f9541dec51700abef0c37994213164ca4e4fc9 from qemu
Our qapi visitor contract supports multiple integer visitors,
but left the type_uint64 visitor as optional (falling back on
type_int64); which in turn can lead to awkward behavior with
numbers larger than INT64_MAX (the user has to be aware of
twos complement, and deal with negatives).
This patch does not address the disparity in handling large
values as negatives. It merely moves the fallback from uint64
to int64 from the visitor core to the visitors, where the issue
can actually be fixed, by implementing the missing type_uint64()
callbacks on top of the respective type_int64() callbacks, and
with a FIXME comment explaining why that's wrong.
With that done, we now have a type_uint64() callback in every
driver, so we can make it mandatory from the core. And although
the type_int64() callback can cover the entire valid range of
type_uint{8,16,32} on valid user input, using type_uint64() to
avoid mixed signedness makes more sense.
Backports commit f755dea79dc81b0d6a8f6414e0672e165e28d8ba from qemu
The qapi builtin type 'int' is basically shorthand for the type
'int64'. In fact, since no visitor was providing the optional
type_int64() callback, visit_type_int64() was just always falling
back to type_int(), cementing the equivalence between the types.
However, some visitors are providing a type_uint64() callback.
For purposes of code consistency, it is nicer if all visitors
use the paired type_int64/type_uint64 names rather than the
mismatched type_int/type_uint64. So this patch just renames
the signed int callbacks in place, dropping the type_int()
callback as redundant, and a later patch will focus on the
unsigned int callbacks.
Add some FIXMEs to questionable reuse of errp in code touched
by the rename, while at it (the reuse works as long as the
callbacks don't modify value when setting an error, but it's not
a good example to set) - a later patch will then fix those.
No change in functionality here, although further cleanups are
in the pipeline.
Backports commit 4c40314a35816de635e7170eaacdc0c35be83a8a from qemu
Adding an assertion to qobject_decref() will ensure that a
programming error causing use-after-free will result in
immediate failure (provided no other thread has started
using the memory) instead of silently attempting to wrap
refcnt around and leaving the problem to potentially bite
later at a harder point to diagnose.
Backports commit cc9f60d4a2a4bf2578a9309a18f1c4602c9f5ce7 from qemu
This is particularly useful when we abort in error_propagate(),
because there the stack backtrace doesn't lead to where the error was
created. Looks like this:
Unexpected error in parse_block_error_action() at .../qemu/blockdev.c:322:
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=none,werror=foo: 'foo' invalid write error action
Aborted (core dumped)
Note: to get this example output, I monkey-patched drive_new() to pass
&error_abort to blockdev_init().
To keep the error handling boiler plate from growing even more, all
error_setFOO() become macros expanding into error_setFOO_internal()
with additional __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__ arguments. Not exactly
pretty, but it works.
The macro trickery breaks down when you take the address of an
error_setFOO(). Fortunately, we do that in just one place: qemu-ga's
Windows VSS provider and requester DLL wants to call
error_setg_win32() through a function pointer "to avoid linking glib
to the DLL". Use error_setg_win32_internal() there. The use of the
function pointer is already wrapped in a macro, so the churn isn't
bad.
Code size increases by some 35KiB for me (0.7%). Tolerable. Could be
less if we passed relative rather than absolute source file names to
the compiler, or forwent reporting __func__.

Remove it except for two things in qerror.h:
* Two #include to be cleaned up separately to avoid cluttering this
patch.
* The QERR_ macros. Mark as obsolete.
Backports commit 4629ed1e98961bbe678db68ef5f4342ff174a6c3 from qemu
These macros expand into error class enumeration constant, comma,
string. Unclean. Has been that way since commit 13f59ae.
The error class is always ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR since the previous
commit.
* Prepend every use of a QERR_ macro by ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR, and
delete it from the QERR_ macro. No change after preprocessing.
* Rewrite error_set(ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR, ...) into
error_setg(...). Again, no change after preprocessing.
Backports commit c6bd8c706a799eb0fece99f468aaa22b818036f3 from qemu
Error classes other than ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR should not be used
in new code. Hiding them in QERR_ macros makes new uses hard to spot.
Fortunately, there's just one such macro left. Eliminate it with this
coccinelle semantic patch:

-error_set(EP, QERR_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND, E)

Now that qbool is fixed, let's fix getting and setting a bool
value to a qdict member to also use C99 bool rather than int.
I audited all callers to ensure that the changed return type
will not cause any changed semantics.
Backports commit 34acbc95229f9f841bde83691a5af949c15e105b from qemu
We require a C99 compiler, so let's use 'bool' instead of 'int'
when dealing with boolean values. There are few enough clients
to fix them all in one pass.
