Now that the generator supports it, we might as well use an
anonymous base rather than breaking out a single-use Base
structure, for all three of our current QMP flat unions.
Oddly enough, this change does not affect the resulting
introspection output (because we already inline the members of
a base type into an object, and had no independent use of the
base type reachable from a command).
The case_whitelist now has to list the name of an implicit
type; which is not too bad (consider it a feature if it makes
it harder for developers to make the whitelist grow :)
Backports commit 3666a97f78704b941c360dc917acb14c8774eca7 from qemu
Rather than requiring all flat unions to explicitly create
a separate base struct, we can allow the qapi schema to specify
the common members via an inline dictionary. This is similar to
how commands can specify an inline anonymous type for its 'data'.
We already have several struct types that only exist to serve as
a single flat union's base; the next commit will clean them up.
In particular, this patch's change to the BlockdevOptions example
in qapi-code-gen.txt will actually be done in the real QAPI schema.
Now that anonymous bases are legal, we need to rework the
flat-union-bad-base negative test (as previously written, it
forms what is now valid QAPI; tweak it to now provide coverage
of a new error message path), and add a positive test in
qapi-schema-test to use an anonymous base (making the integer
argument optional, for even more coverage).
Note that this patch only allows anonymous bases for flat unions;
simple unions are already enough syntactic sugar that we do not
want to burden them further. Meanwhile, while it would be easy
to also allow an anonymous base for structs, that would be quite
redundant, as the members can be put right into the struct
instead.

Now that we are always bulk-initializing a QAPI C struct to 0
(whether by g_malloc0() or by 'Type arg = {0};'), we no longer
have any clients of c_null() in the generator for per-element
initialization. This patch is easy enough to revert if we find
a use in the future, but in the present, get rid of the dead code.
Backports commit 861877a0dd0a8e1bdbcc9743530f4dc9745a736a from qemu
Commit 82ca8e46 noticed that we had multiple implementations of
visiting every member of a struct, and consolidated it into
gen_visit_fields() (now gen_visit_members()) with enough
parameters to cater to slight differences between the clients.
But recent exposure of implicit types has meant that we are now
down to a single use of that method, so we can clean up the
unused conditionals and just inline it into the remaining
caller: gen_visit_object_members().
Likewise, gen_err_check() no longer needs optional parameters,
as the lone use of non-defaults was via gen_visit_members().
No change to generated code.
Backports commit 12f254fd5f98717d17f079c73500123303b232da from qemu
The original choice of ':obj-' as the prefix for implicit types
made it obvious that we weren't going to clash with any user-defined
names, which cannot contain ':'. But now we want to create structs
for implicit types, to get rid of special cases in the generators,
and our use of ':' in implicit names needs a tweak to produce valid
C code.
We could transliterate ':' to '_', except that C99 mandates that
"identifiers that begin with an underscore are always reserved for
use as identifiers with file scope in both the ordinary and tag name
spaces". So it's time to change our naming convention: we can
instead use the 'q_' prefix that we reserved for ourselves back in
commit 9fb081e0. Technically, since we aren't planning on exposing
the empty type in generated code, we could keep the name ':empty',
but renaming it to 'q_empty' makes the check for startswith('q_')
cover all implicit types, whether or not code is generated for them.
As long as we don't declare 'empty' or 'obj' ticklish, it shouldn't
clash with c_name() prepending 'q_' to the user's ticklish names.
Backports commit 7599697c66d22ff4c859ba6ccea30e6a9aae6b9b from qemu
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.

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
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.

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().
Backports commit 46534309e667fd860720f983c2c9aefe0354340d from qemu
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.

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.

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;
|+ goto out_obj;
| }
| visit_type_bool(v, &tray_open, "tray-open", &err);
| if (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.

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.

No change to generated code.
Backports commit 9d3f3494c5b941774e2c3e7639332d53bbe6f8be 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).

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.

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
in the same C member name, by keying the 'seen' dictionary off
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().
No change to generated code.

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().

No change to generated code.
Backports commit c2183d2e62b6d9d66f80bc0bcf4fc7ec3c5d76d4 from qemu
Right now, our ad hoc parser ensures that we cannot have a
flat union that introduces any members that would clash with
non-variant members inherited from the union's base type (see
flat-union-clash-member.json). We want QAPISchemaObjectType.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.

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

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 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 */
| void *data;
| int64_t a;
| 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
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.
Backports commit f51d8fab44b231aa299d8de24cfdf9ba41ef4a21 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').
