Use of '"...%s" % include' to print non-strings can lead to

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.

enumeration constant with the value 0 instead of {0}.

Fixes flat unions to visit the base's base members (the previous

Patch's effect on visit_type_UserDefFlatUnion():
static void visit_type_UserDefFlatUnion_fields(Visitor *m, UserDefFlatUnion **obj, Error **errp)
{
Error *err = NULL;
+ visit_type_int(m, &(*obj)->integer, "integer", &err);
+ if (err) {
+ goto out;
+ }
visit_type_str(m, &(*obj)->string, "string", &err);
if (err) {
goto out;
Test cases updated for the bug fix.
Fixes alternates to generate a visitor for their implicit enumeration
type. None of them are currently used, obviously. Example:
block-core.json's BlockdevRef now generates
visit_type_BlockdevRefKind().
Code is generated in a different order now, and therefore has got a
few new forward declarations. Doesn't matter.
The guard QAPI_VISIT_BUILTIN_VISITOR_DECL is renamed to
QAPI_VISIT_BUILTIN.

Backports commit 441cbac0c7e641780decbc674a9a68c6a5200f71 from qemu
Fixes flat unions to get the base's base members. Test case is from
commit 2fc0043, in qapi-schema-test.json:
{ 'union': 'UserDefFlatUnion',
'base': 'UserDefUnionBase',
'discriminator': 'enum1',
'data': { 'value1' : 'UserDefA',
'value2' : 'UserDefB',
'value3' : 'UserDefB' } }
{ 'struct': 'UserDefUnionBase',
'base': 'UserDefZero',
'data': { 'string': 'str', 'enum1': 'EnumOne' } }
{ 'struct': 'UserDefZero',
'data': { 'integer': 'int' } }
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
QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN.
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.

Backports commit 3f7dc21bee1e930d5cccf607b8f83831c3bbdb09 from qemu
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.
Catching name collisions in generated code would be nice. Mark as
TODO.
We generate array types eagerly, even though most of them aren't used.
Mark as TODO.
Nothing uses the new intermediate representation just yet, thus no
change to generated files.
Backports commit ac88219a6c78302c693fb60fe6cf04358540fbce from qemu
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 visit_type_implicit_FOO() are generated on demand, right before

base FOO, and by visit_type_UNION() when flat UNION has member a FOO.
If the schema defines FOO after its first use as struct base or flat
union member, visit_type_implicit_FOO() calls
visit_type_implicit_FOO() before its definition, which doesn't
compile.

Fix by generating the necessary forward declaration.
Backports commit 8c3f8e77215bfedb7854221868f655e148506936 from qemu
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:
struct UserDefFlatUnion
{
/* Members inherited from UserDefUnionBase: */
char *string;
EnumOne enum1;
/* Own members: */
union { /* union tag is @enum1 */
void *data;
UserDefA *value1;
UserDefB *value2;
UserDefB *value3;
};
};

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;
};

Make sure that all generated C structs have at least one field; this

Backports commit fce384b8e5193e02421f6b2c2880f3684abcbdc0 from qemu
Continuing the string of cleanups for supporting downstream names
containing '.', this patch focuses on ensuring c_type() can
handle a downstream name. This patch alone does not fix the
places where generator output should be calling this function
but was open-coding things instead, but it gets us a step closer.
In particular, the changes to c_list_type() and type_name() mean
that type_name(FOO) now handles the case when FOO contains '.',
'-', or is a ticklish identifier other than a builtin (builtins
are exempted because ['int'] must remain mapped to 'intList' and
not 'q_intList'). Meanwhile, ['unix'] now maps to 'q_unixList'
rather than 'unixList', to match the fact that 'unix' is ticklish;
however, our naming conventions state that complex types should
start with a capital, so no type name following conventions will
ever have the 'q_' prepended.
Likewise, changes to c_type() mean that c_type(FOO) properly
handles an enum or complex type FOO with '.' or '-' in the
name, or is a ticklish identifier (again, a ticklish identifier
as a type name violates conventions).

c_type() is designed to be called on both string names and on

operates on more than strings. Also, no caller ever passes

c_var() strips a leading '*', but this cannot happen. c_fun()
doesn't.
Fix c_var() to work exactly like c_fun().
Perhaps they should be replaced by a single mapping function.
Backports commit 47299262de424af0cb69965d082e5e70b2314183 from qemu
Our type inheritance for both 'struct' and for flat 'union' merges
key/value pairs from the base class with those from the type in
question. Although the C code currently boxes things so that there
is a distinction between which member is referred to, the QMP wire
format does not allow passing a key more than once in a single
object. Besides, if we ever change the generated C code to not be
quite so boxy, we'd want to avoid duplicate member names there,
too.
Fix a testsuite entry added in an earlier patch, as well as adding
a couple more tests to ensure we have appropriate coverage. Ensure
that collisions are detected, regardless of whether there is a
difference in opinion on whether the member name is optional.
Backports commit ff55d72eaf9628e7d58e7b067b361cdbf789c9f4 from qemu
The handling of \ inside QAPI strings was less than ideal, and
really only worked JSON's \/, \\, \", and our extension of \'
(an obvious extension, when you realize we use '' instead of ""
for strings). For other things, like '\n', it resulted in a
literal 'n' instead of a newline.
Of course, at the moment, we really have no use for escaped
characters, as QAPI has to map to C identifiers, and we currently
support ASCII only for that. But down the road, we may add
support for default values for string parameters to a command
or struct; if that happens, it would be nice to correctly support
all JSON escape sequences, such as \n or \uXXXX. This gets us
closer, by supporting Unicode escapes in the ASCII range.
Since JSON does not require \OCTAL or \xXX escapes, and our QMP
implementation does not understand them either, I intentionally
reject it here, but it would be an easy addition if we desired it.
Likewise, intentionally refusing the NUL byte means we don't have
to worry about C strings being shorter than the qapi input.

Now that we no longer have nested structs to visit, the use of
prefix strings is no longer required. Remove the code that is
no longer reachable.
Backports commit a82b982e2bddf7cd7cb490f83643e952e17d4523 from qemu
A future patch will be using a 'name':{dictionary} entry in the
QAPI schema to specify a default value for an optional argument
(see previous commit messages for more details why); but existing
use of inline nested structs conflicts with that goal. Now that
all commands have been changed to avoid inline nested structs,
nuke support for them, and turn it into a hard error. Update the
testsuite to reflect tighter parsing rules.
Backports commit 6b5abc7df7ef9aadb3ff0eba6ccf4f1f0181e2e1 from qemu
Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union,
alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the
schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing. Finish up the
conversion to using "struct" in qapi schema by removing the hack
in the generator that allowed 'type'.
Backports commit 3e391d355644b2bff7c9f187759aadb46c6e051f from qemu
Python 2 and Python 3 have a wild history of whether strings
default to ascii or unicode, where Python 3 requires checking
isinstance(foo, basestr) to cover all strings, but where that
code is not portable to Python 2. It's simpler to just state
that we don't care about Unicode strings, and to just always
use the simpler isinstance(foo, str) everywhere.
I'm no python expert, so I'm basing it on this conversation:

Backports commit fe2a9303c9e511462f662a415c2e9d2defe9b7ca from qemu
Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union,
alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the
schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing. The confusion
is only made worse by the fact that the generator mostly already
refers to struct even when dealing with expr['type']. This
commit changes the generator to consistently refer to it as
struct everywhere, plus a single back-compat tweak that allows
accepting the existing .json files as-is, so that the meat of
this change is separate from the mindless churn of that change.
Fix the testsuite fallout for error messages that change, and
in some cases, become more legible. Improve comments to better
match our intentions where a struct (rather than any complex
type) is required. Note that in some cases, an error message
now refers to 'struct' while the schema still refers to 'type';
that will be cleaned up in the later commit to the schema.
Backports commit fd41dd4eae5f7ea92f10c04cb3f217727fcee91f from qemu
Now that we have a way to validate every type, we can also be
stricter about enforcing that callers that want to bypass
type safety in generated code. Prior to this patch, it didn't
matter what value was associated with the key 'gen', but it
looked odd that 'gen':'yes' could result in bypassing the
generated code. These changes also enforce the changes made
earlier in the series for documentation and consolidation of
using '**' as the wildcard type, as well as 'gen':false as the
canonical spelling for requesting type bypass.
Note that 'gen':false is a one-way switch away from the default;
we do not support 'gen':true (similar for 'success-response').
In practice, this doesn't matter.

...or an array of dictionaries. Although we have to cater to
existing commands, returning a non-dictionary means the command
is not extensible (no new name/value pairs can be added if more
information must be returned in parallel). By making the
whitelist explicit, any new command that falls foul of this
practice will have to be self-documenting, which will encourage
developers to either justify the action or rework the design to
use a dictionary after all.
It's a little bit sloppy that we share a single whitelist among
three clients (it's too permissive for each). If this is a
problem, a future patch could tighten things by having the
generator take the whitelist as an argument (as in
scripts/qapi-commands.py --legacy-returns=...), or by having
the generator output C code that requires explicit use of the
whitelist (as in:
then having the callers define appropriate macros). But until
we need such fine-grained separation (if ever), this patch does
the job just fine.
Backports commit 10d4d997f86cf2a4ce89145df5658952d5722e56 from qemu
Previous commits demonstrated that the generator overlooked various
bad naming situations:
- types, commands, and events need a valid name
- enum members must be valid names, when combined with prefix
- union and alternate branches cannot be marked optional
Valid upstream names match [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*; valid downstream
names match __[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*. Enumerations match the
weaker [a-zA-Z0-9._-]+ (in part thanks to QKeyCode picking an enum
that starts with a digit, which we can't change now due to
backwards compatibility). Rather than call out three separate
regex, this patch just uses a broader combination that allows both
upstream and downstream names, as well as a small hack that
realizes that any enum name is merely a suffix to an already valid
name prefix (that is, any enum name is valid if prepending _ fits
the normal rules).
We could reject new enumeration names beginning with a digit by
whitelisting existing exceptions. We could also be stricter
about the distinction between upstream names (no leading
underscore, no use of dot) and downstream (mandatory leading
double underscore), but it is probably not worth the bother.
Backports commit c9e0a798691d8c45747b082206e789c8f50523c9 from qemu
Now that we know every expression is valid with regards to
its keys, we can add further tests that those keys refer to
valid types. With this patch, all uses of a type (the 'data':
of command, type, union, alternate, and event; the 'returns':
of command; the 'base': of type and union) must resolve to an
appropriate subset of metatypes declared by the current qapi
parse; this includes recursing into each member of a data
dictionary. Dealing with '**' and nested anonymous structs
will be done in later patches.
Backports commit dd883c6f0547f02ae805d02852ff3691f6d08f85 from qemu
In the near term, we will use it for a sensible-looking
'gen':false inside command declarations, instead of the
current ugly 'gen':'no'.
In the long term, it will allow conversion from shorthand
with defaults mentioned only in side-band documentation:
'data':{'*flag':'bool', '*string':'str'}
into an explicit default value documentation, as in:
'data':{'flag':{'type':'bool', 'optional':true, 'default':true},
'string':{'type':'str', 'optional':true, 'default':null}}
We still don't parse integer values (also necessary before
we can allow explicit defaults), but that can come in a later
series.
Backports commit e53188ada516c814a729551be2448684d6d8ce08 from qemu
The previous commit demonstrated that the generator overlooked
duplicate expressions:
- a complex type or command reusing a built-in type name
- redeclaration of a type name, whether by the same or different
metatype
- redeclaration of a command or event
- collision of a type with implicit 'Kind' enum for a union
- collision with an implicit MAX enum constant
Since the c_type() function in the generator treats all names
as being in the same namespace, this patch adds a global array
to track all known names and their source, to prevent collisions
before it can cause further problems. While valid .json files
won't trigger any of these cases, we might as well be nicer to
developers that make a typo while trying to add new QAPI code.
Backports commit 4dc2e6906e1084fdd37bf67385c5dcd2c72ae22b from qemu
The previous commit demonstrated that the generator overlooked some
fairly basic broken expressions:
- missing metataype
- metatype key has a non-string value
- unknown key in relation to the metatype
- conflicting metatype (this patch treats the second metatype as an
unknown key of the first key visited, which is not necessarily the
first key the user typed)
Add check_keys to cover these situations, and update testcases to
match. A couple other tests (enum-missing-data, indented-expr) had
to change since the validation added here occurs so early.
Conversely, changes to ident-with-escape results show that we still
have problems where our handling of escape sequences differs from
true JSON, which will matter down the road if we allow arbitrary
default string values for optional parameters (but for now is not
too bad, as we currently can avoid unicode escaping as we don't
need to represent anything beyond C identifier material).
While valid .json files won't trigger any of these cases, we might
as well be nicer to developers that make a typo while trying to add
new QAPI code.
Backports commit 0545f6b8874c28d97369f2c83e5077e0461d4f12 from qemu
Previous patches have led up to the point where I create the
new meta-type "'alternate':'Foo'". See the previous patches
for documentation; I intentionally split as much work into
earlier patches to minimize the size of this patch, but a lot
of it is churn due to testsuite fallout after updating to the
new type.
Backports commit ab916faddd16f0165e9cc2551f90699be8efde53 from qemu
Special-casing 'discriminator == {}' for handling anonymous unions
is getting awkward; since this particular type is not always a
dictionary on the wire, it is easier to treat it as a completely
different class of type, "alternate", so that if a type is listed
in the union_types array, we know it is not an anonymous union.
This patch just further segregates union handling, to make sure that
anonymous unions are not stored in union_types, and splitting up
check_union() into separate functions. A future patch will change
the qapi grammar, and having the segregation already in place will
make it easier to deal with the distinct meta-type.
Backports commit 811d04fd0cff1229480d3f5b2e349f646ab6e3c1 from qemu
This patch widens the scope of a try block (with the attending

patch adding more instances of QAPIExprError inside the block.
It's easier to separate indentation from semantic changes, so
this patch has no real behavior change.
Backports commit 268a1c5eb10832c2e4476d3fe199ea547dabecb7 from qemu
Previous commits demonstrated that the generator had several
flaws with less-than-perfect unions:
- a simple union that listed the same branch twice (or two variant
names that map to the same C enumerator, including the implicit
MAX sentinel) ended up generating invalid C code
- an anonymous union that listed two branches with the same qtype
ended up generating invalid C code
- the generator crashed on anonymous union attempts to use an
array type
- the generator was silently ignoring a base type for anonymous
unions
- the generator allowed unknown types or nested anonymous unions
as a branch in an anonymous union
Backports commit 44bd1276a7dea747c41f250cb71ab65965343a7f from qemu
None of the existing QMP or QGA interfaces uses a union with a
base type but no discriminator; it is easier to avoid this in the
generator to save room for other future extensions more likely to
be useful. An earlier commit added a union-base-no-discriminator
test to ensure that we eventually give a decent error message;
likewise, removing UserDefUnion outright is okay, because we moved
all the tests we wish to keep into the tests of the simple union
UserDefNativeListUnion in the previous commit. Now is the time to
actually forbid simple union with base, and remove the last
vestiges from the testsuite.
Backports commit a8d4a2e4d7e1a0207699de47142c9bdbf2cc8675 from qemu
The previous commit demonstrated that the generator had several
flaws with less-than-perfect enums:
- an enum that listed the same string twice (or two variant
strings that map to the same C enumerator) ended up generating
an invalid C enum
- because the generator adds a _MAX terminator to each enum,
the use of an enum member 'max' can also cause this clash
- if an enum omits 'data', the generator left a python stack
trace rather than a graceful message
- an enum that used a non-array 'data' was silently accepted by
the parser
- an enum that used non-string members in the 'data' member
was silently accepted by the parser
Add check_enum to cover these situations, and update testcases
to match. While valid .json files won't trigger any of these
cases, we might as well be nicer to developers that make a typo
while trying to add new QAPI code.

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.
