The QObject hierarchy is small enough, and unlikely to grow further
(since we only use it to map to JSON and already cover all JSON
types), that we can simplify things by not tracking a separate
vtable, but just inline the code element of the vtable QType
directly into QObject (renamed to type), and track a separate array
of destroy functions. We can drop qnull_destroy_obj() in the
process.
The remaining QObject subclasses must export their destructor.
This also has the nice benefit of moving the typename 'QType'
out of the way, so that the next patch can repurpose it for a
nicer name for 'qtype_code'.
The various objects are still the same size (so no change in cache
line pressure), but now have less indirection (although I didn't
bother benchmarking to see if there is a noticeable speedup, as
we don't have hard evidence that this was in a performance hotspot
in the first place).
A future patch could drop the refcnt size to 32 bits for a smaller
struct on 64-bit architectures, if desired (we have limits on the
largest JSON that we are willing to parse, and will probably never
need to take full advantage of a 64-bit refcnt).

I'm going to fix the JSON parser to recognize null. The obvious
representation of JSON null as (QObject *)NULL doesn't work, because
the parser already uses it as an error value. Perhaps we should
change it to free NULL for null, but that's more than I can do right
now. Create a special null QObject instead.
The existing QDict, QList, and QString all represent something that
is a pointer in C and could therefore be associated with NULL. But
right now, all three of these sub-types are always non-null once
created, so the new null sentinel object is intentionally unrelated
to them.

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 d20a580bc0eac9d489884f6d2ed28105880532b6 from qemu
The qapi enum ErrorClass is unusual that it uses 'CamelCase' names,
contrary to our documented convention of preferring 'lower-case'.
However, this enum is entrenched in the API; we cannot change
what strings QMP outputs. Meanwhile, we want to simplify how
c_enum_const() is used to generate enum constants, by moving away
from the heuristics of camel_to_upper() to a more straightforward
c_name(N).upper() - but doing so will rename all of the ErrorClass
constants and cause churn to all client files, where the new names
are aesthetically less pleasing (ERROR_CLASS_DEVICENOTFOUND looks
like we can't make up our minds on whether to break between words).
So as always in computer science, solve the problem by some more
indirection: rename the qapi type to QapiErrorClass, and add a
new enum ErrorClass in error.h whose members are aliases of the
qapi type, but with the spelling expected elsewhere in the tree.
Then, when c_enum_const() changes the munging, we only have to
adjust the one alias spot.

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.

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.

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__.

patch.
* The QERR_ macros. Mark as obsolete.
