The gen_ prefix is awkward. Generated C should go through cgen()
exactly once (see commit 1f9a7a1). The common way to get this wrong is
passing a foo=gen_foo() keyword argument to mcgen(). I'd like us to
adopt a naming convention where gen_ means "something that's been piped
through cgen(), and thus must not be passed to cgen() or mcgen()".
Requires renaming gen_params(), gen_marshal_proto() and
gen_event_send_proto().

Backports commit b3db211f3c80bb996a704d665fe275619f728bd4 from qemu
Turn on the ability to pass command and event arguments in
a single boxed parameter, which must name a non-empty type
(although the type can be a struct with all optional members).
For structs, it makes it possible to pass a single qapi type
instead of a breakout of all struct members (useful if the
arguments are already in a struct or if the number of members
is large); for other complex types, it is now possible to use
a union or alternate as the data for a command or event.
The empty type may be technically feasible if needed down the
road, but it's easier to forbid it now and relax things to allow
it later, than it is to allow it now and have to special case
how the generated 'q_empty' type is handled (see commit 7ce106a9
for reasons why nothing is generated for the empty type). An
alternate type is never considered empty, but now that a boxed
type can be either an object or an alternate, we have to provide
a trivial QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty(). The new call to
arg_type.is_empty() during QAPISchemaCommand.check() requires
that we first check the type in question; but there is no chance
of introducing a cycle since objects do not refer back to commands.
We still have a split in syntax checking between ad-hoc parsing
up front (merely validates that 'boxed' has a sane value) and
during .check() methods (if 'boxed' is set, then 'data' must name
a non-empty user-defined type).
Generated code is unchanged, as long as no client uses the
new feature.
Backports commit c818408e449ea55371253bd4def1c1dc87b7bb03 from qemu
The next patch will add support for passing a qapi union type
as the 'data' of a command. But to do that, the user function
for implementing the command, as called by the generated
marshal command, must take the corresponding C struct as a
single boxed pointer, rather than a breakdown into one
parameter per member. Even without a union, being able to use
a C struct rather than a list of parameters can make it much
easier to handle coding with QAPI.
This patch adds the internal plumbing of a 'boxed' flag
associated with each command and event. In several cases,
this means adding indentation, with one new dead branch and
the remaining branch being the original code more deeply
nested; this was done so that the new implementation in the
next patch is easier to review without also being mixed with
indentation changes.
For this patch, no behavior or generated output changes, other
than the testsuite outputting the value of the new flag
(always False for now).
Backports commit 48825ca419fd9c8140d4fecb24e982d68ebca74f from qemu
Commit 7ce106a9 documented why we don't generated a visit_type_FOO()
for implicit types; and therefore events with an anonymous type for
'data' have to open-code a visit. Note that the open-coded visit in
qapi-event.c is slightly different from what is done in
qapi-visit.c for normal types, in part because we don't have to
check for *obj being NULL or free things on error. But where the
type is not implicit, it is nicer to reuse the normal visit instead
of open-coding a duplicate.
At the moment, the only event with a non-implicit 'data' is in the
testsuite, where test-qapi-event.c changes as follows:

In the near future, we want to lift our artificial restriction of
no variants at the top level of an event, at which point the
currently open-coded check for empty members will become
insufficient. Factor it out into a new helper method is_empty()
now, and future-proof it by checking variants, too, along with an
assert that it is not used prior to the completion of .check().
Update places that were checking for (non-)empty .members to use
the new helper.
All of the current callers assert that there are no variants (either
directly, or by qapi.py asserting that base types have no variants),
so this is not a semantic change.
No change to generated code.
Backports commit b6167706829c6e0d3572daa2b6769594ced276f7 from qemu
Making each output visitor provide its own output collection
function was the only remaining reason for exposing visitor
sub-types to the rest of the code base. Add a polymorphic
visit_complete() function which is a no-op for input visitors,
and which populates an opaque pointer for output visitors. For
maximum type-safety, also add a parameter to the output visitor
constructors with a type-correct version of the output pointer,
and assert that the two uses match.
This approach was considered superior to either passing the
output parameter only during construction (action at a distance
during visit_free() feels awkward) or only during visit_complete()
(defeating type safety makes it easier to use incorrectly).
Most callers were function-local, and therefore a mechanical
conversion; the testsuite was a bit trickier, but the previous
cleanup patch minimized the churn here.
The visit_complete() function may be called at most once; doing
so lets us use transfer semantics rather than duplication or
ref-count semantics to get the just-built output back to the
caller, even though it means our behavior is not idempotent.

Making each visitor provide its own (awkwardly-named) FOO_cleanup()
is unusual, when we can instead have a polymorphic visit_free()
interface. Over the next few patches, we can use the polymorphic
functions to eliminate the need for a FOO_get_visitor() function
for accessing specific visitor functionality, once everything can
be accessed directly through the Visitor* interfaces.
The dealloc visitor is the first one converted to completely use
the new entry point, since qapi_dealloc_visitor_cleanup() was the
only reason that qapi_dealloc_get_visitor() existed, and only
generated and testsuite code was even using it. With the new
visit_free() entry point in place, we no longer need to expose
the QapiDeallocVisitor subtype through qapi_dealloc_visitor_new(),
and can get by with less generated code, with diffs that look like:

Backports commit 2c0ef9f411ae6081efa9eca5b3eab2dbeee45a6c from qemu
Rather than making the dealloc visitor track of stack of pointers
remembered during visit_start_* in order to free them during
visit_end_*, it's a lot easier to just make all callers pass the
same pointer to visit_end_*. The generated code has access to the
same pointer, while all other users are doing virtual walks and
can pass NULL. The dealloc visitor is then greatly simplified.
All three visit_end_*() functions intentionally take a void**,
even though the visit_start_*() functions differ between void**,
GenericList**, and GenericAlternate**. This is done for several
reasons: when doing a virtual walk, passing NULL doesn't care
what the type is, but when doing a generated walk, we already
have to cast the caller's specific FOO* to call visit_start,
while using void** lets us use visit_end without a cast. Also,
an upcoming patch will add a clone visitor that wants to use
the same implementation for all three visit_end callbacks,
which is made easier if all three share the same signature.
For visitors with already track per-object state (the QMP visitors
via a stack, and the string visitors which do not allow nesting),
add an assertion that the caller is indeed passing the same
pointer to paired calls.
Backports commit 1158bb2a058fcdd0c8fc3e60dc77f7a57ddbb271 from qemu
As mentioned in previous patches, we want to call visit_end_struct()
functions unconditionally, so that visitors can release resources
tied up since the matching visit_start_struct() without also having
to worry about error priority if more than one error occurs.
Even though error_propagate() can be safely used to ignore a second
error during cleanup caused by a first error, it is simpler if the
cleanup cannot set an error. So, split out the error checking
portion (basically, input visitors checking for unvisited keys) into
a new function visit_check_struct(), which can be safely skipped if
any earlier errors are encountered, and leave the cleanup portion
(which never fails, but must be called unconditionally if
visit_start_struct() succeeded) in visit_end_struct().

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
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.
Backports commit 337283dffbb5ad5860ed00408a5fd0665c21be07 from qemu
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_type_str(v, (char **)&device, "device", &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.

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 ((*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);

We had some pointless differences in the generated code for visit,

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.

This patch consistently names the local error variable 'err' rather
than 'local_err'.
No change in semantics to the generated code.

Duplicated in commit 21cd70d. Yes, we can't import qapi-types, but
that's no excuse. Move the helpers from qapi-types.py to qapi.py, and
replace the duplicates in qapi-event.py.
The generated event enumeration type's lookup table becomes
const-correct (see commit 2e4450f), and uses explicit indexes instead
of relying on order (see commit 912ae9c).

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.

Clean up white-space, brace placement, and superfluous #ifdef
QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN_CLEANUP_DEF.
Backports commit 3a864e7c52af15017d5082a9ee39a7919f46d2b5 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.

Now that the two functions are identical, we only need one of them,
and we might as well give it a more descriptive name. Basically,
the function serves as the translation from a QAPI name into a
(portion of a) C identifier, without regards to whether it is a
variable or function name.

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.
