Our qapi-schema.json is composed of modules connected by include
directives, but the generated code is monolithic all the same: one
qapi-types.h with all the types, one qapi-visit.h with all the
visitors, and so forth. These monolithic headers get included all
over the place. In my "build everything" tree, adding a QAPI type
recompiles about 4800 out of 5100 objects.
We wouldn't write such monolithic headers by hand. It stands to
reason that we shouldn't generate them, either.
Split up generated qapi-types.h to mirror the schema's modular
structure: one header per module. Name the main module's header
qapi-types.h, and sub-module D/B.json's header D/qapi-types-B.h.
Mirror the schema's includes in the headers, so that qapi-types.h gets
you everything exactly as before. If you need less, you can include
one or more of the sub-module headers. To be exploited shortly.
Split up qapi-types.c, qapi-visit.h, qapi-visit.c, qmp-commands.h,
qmp-commands.c, qapi-event.h, qapi-event.c the same way.
qmp-introspect.h, qmp-introspect.c and qapi.texi remain monolithic.
The split of qmp-commands.c duplicates static helper function
qmp_marshal_output_str() in qapi-commands-char.c and
qapi-commands-misc.c. This happens when commands returning the same
type occur in multiple modules. Not worth avoiding.
Since I'm going to rename qapi-event.[ch] to qapi-events.[ch], and
qmp-commands.[ch] to qapi-commands.[ch], name the shards that way
already, to reduce churn. This requires temporary hacks in
commands.py and events.py. Similarly, c_name() must temporarily
be taught to munge '/' in common.py. They'll go away with the rename.

Backports commit f9c146399dabefb8cd13c9c467a9e710af15ea70 from qemu
Linking code from multiple separate QAPI schemata into the same
program is possible, but involves some weirdness around built-in
types:
* We generate code for built-in types into .c only with option
--builtins. The user is responsible for generating code for exactly
one QAPI schema per program with --builtins.
* We generate code for built-in types into .h regardless of
--builtins, but guarded by #ifndef QAPI_VISIT_BUILTIN. Because all
copies of this code are exactly the same, including any combination
of these headers works.
Replace this contraption by something more conventional: generate code
for built-in types into their very own files: qapi-builtin-types.c,
qapi-builtin-visit.c, qapi-builtin-types.h, qapi-builtin-visit.h, but
only with --builtins. Obey --output-dir, but ignore --prefix for
them.
Make qapi-types.h include qapi-builtin-types.h. With multiple
schemata you now have multiple qapi-types.[ch], but only one
qapi-builtin-types.[ch]. Same for qapi-visit.[ch] and
qapi-builtin-visit.[ch].
Bonus: if all you need is built-in stuff, you can include a much
smaller header. To be exploited shortly.

Backports commit 71b3f0459c460c9e16a47372ccddbfa6e2c7aadf from qemu
The include directive permits modular QAPI schemata, but the generated
code is monolithic all the same. To permit generating modular code,
the front end needs to pass more information on inclusions to the back
ends. The commit before last added the necessary information to the
parse tree. This commit adds it to the intermediate representation
and its QAPISchemaVisitor. A later commit will use this to to
generate modular code.
New entity QAPISchemaInclude represents inclusions. Call new visitor
method visit_include() for it, so visitors can see the sub-modules a
module includes.
Note that unlike other entities, QAPISchemaInclude has no name, and is
therefore not added to entity_dict.
New QAPISchemaEntity attribute @module names the entity's source file.
Call new visitor method visit_module() when it changes during a visit,
so visitors can keep track of the module being visited.

Backports commit af97502ce9c648ae5c746b9e562d6e4586f02eee from qemu
A massive number of objects depends on QAPI-generated headers. In my
"build everything" tree, it's roughly 4800 out of 5100. This is
particularly annoying when only some of the generated files change,
say for a doc fix.
Improve qapi-gen.py to touch its output files only if they actually
change. Rebuild time for a QAPI doc fix drops from many minutes to a
few seconds. Rebuilds get faster for certain code changes, too. For
instance, adding a simple QMP event now recompiles less than 200
instead of 4800 objects. But adding a QAPI type is as bad as ever;
we've clearly got more work to do.

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

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.

special-case it as a built-in that makes other aspects of code

Backports commit cd50a2564560986e865ff64fa73b59d2564076f0 from qemu
We were previously enforcing that all flat union branches were
found in the corresponding enum, but not that all enum values
were covered by branches. The resulting generated code would
abort() if the user passes the uncovered enum value.
We don't automatically treat non-present branches in a flat
union as empty types, for symmetry with simple unions (there,
the enum type is generated from the list of all branches, so
there is no way to omit a branch but still have it be part of
the union).
A later patch will add shorthand so that branches that are empty
in flat unions can be declared as 'branch':{} instead of
'branch':'Empty', to avoid the need for an otherwise useless
explicit empty type. [Such shorthand for simple unions is a bit
harder to justify, since we would still have to generate a
wrapper type that parses 'data':{}, rather than truly being an
empty branch with no additional siblings to the 'type' member.]
Backports commit d0b182392d0281ef780e3effcb82677a004f1f97 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
If a QAPI struct has a mandatory alternate member which is not
present on input, the input visitor reports an error for the
missing alternate without setting the discriminator, but the
cleanup code for the struct still tries to use the dealloc
visitor to clean up the alternate.
Commit dbf11922 changed visit_start_alternate to set *obj to NULL
when an error occurs, where it was previously left untouched.
Thus, before the patch, the dealloc visitor is blindly trying to
cleanup whatever branch corresponds to (*obj)->type == 0 (that is,
QTYPE_NONE, because *obj still pointed to zeroed memory), which
selects the default branch of the switch and sets an error, but
this second error is ignored by the way the dealloc visitor is
used; but after the patch, the attempt to switch dereferences NULL.
When cleaning up after a partial object parse, we specifically
check for !*obj after visit_start_struct() (see gen_visit_object());
doing the same for alternates fixes the crash. Enhance the testsuite
to give coverage for both missing struct and missing alternate
members.
Also add an abort - we expect visit_start_alternate() to either set an
error or to set (*obj)->type to a valid QType that corresponds to
actual user input, and QTYPE_NONE should never be reachable from valid
input. Had the abort() been in place earlier, we might have noticed
the dealloc visitor dereferencing bogus zeroed memory prior to when
commit dbf11922 forced our hand by setting *obj to NULL and causing a
fault.
Test case:
{'execute':'blockdev-add', 'arguments':{'options':{'driver':'raw'}}}
The choice of 'driver':'raw' selects a BlockdevOptionsGenericFormat
struct, which has a mandatory 'file':'BlockdevRef' in QAPI. Since
'file' is missing as a sibling of 'driver', this should report a
graceful error rather than fault. After this patch, we are back to:
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Parameter 'file' is missing"}}

Backports commit 9b4e38fe6a35890bb1d995316d7be08de0b30ee5 from qemu
Returning a partial object on error is an invitation for a careless
caller to leak memory. We already fixed things in an earlier
patch to guarantee NULL if visit_start fails ("qapi: Guarantee
NULL obj on input visitor callback error"), but that does not
help the case where visit_start succeeds but some other failure
happens before visit_end, such that we leak a partially constructed
object outside visit_type_FOO(). As no one outside the testsuite
was actually relying on these semantics, it is cleaner to just
document and guarantee that ALL pointer-based visit_type_FOO()
functions always leave a safe value in *obj during an input visitor
(either the new object on success, or NULL if an error is
encountered), so callers can now unconditionally use
qapi_free_FOO() to clean up regardless of whether an error occurred.
The decision is done by adding visit_is_input(), then updating the
generated code to check if additional cleanup is needed based on
the type of visitor in use.
Note that we still leave *obj unchanged after a scalar-based
visit_type_FOO(); I did not feel like auditing all uses of
visit_type_Enum() to see if the callers would tolerate a specific
sentinel value (not to mention having to decide whether it would
be better to use 0 or ENUM__MAX as that sentinel).
Backports commit 68ab47e4b4ecc1c4649362b8cc1e49794d1a6537 from qemu
The semantics of the list visit are somewhat baroque, with the
following pseudocode when FooList is used:
start()
for (prev = head; cur = next(prev); prev = &cur) {
visit(&cur->value)
}
Note that these semantics (advance before visit) requires that
the first call to next() return the list head, while all other
calls return the next element of the list; that is, every visitor
implementation is required to track extra state to decide whether
to return the input as-is, or to advance. It also requires an
argument of 'GenericList **' to next(), solely because the first
iteration might need to modify the caller's GenericList head, so
that all other calls have to do a layer of dereferencing.
Thankfully, we only have two uses of list visits in the entire
code base: one in spapr_drc (which completely avoids
visit_next_list(), feeding in integers from a different source
than uint8List), and one in qapi-visit.py. That is, all other
list visitors are generated in qapi-visit.c, and share the same
paradigm based on a qapi FooList type, so we can refactor how
lists are laid out with minimal churn among clients.
We can greatly simplify things by hoisting the special case
into the start() routine, and flipping the order in the loop
to visit before advance:
start(head)
for (tail = *head; tail; tail = next(tail)) {
visit(&tail->value)
}
With the simpler semantics, visitors have less state to track,
the argument to next() is reduced to 'GenericList *', and it
also becomes obvious whether an input visitor is allocating a
FooList during visit_start_list() (rather than the old way of
not knowing if an allocation happened until the first
visit_next_list()). As a minor drawback, we now allocate in
two functions instead of one, and have to pass the size to
both functions (unless we were to tweak the input visitors to
cache the size to start_list for reuse during next_list, but
that defeats the goal of less visitor state).
The signature of visit_start_list() is chosen to match
visit_start_struct(), with the new parameters after 'name'.
The spapr_drc case is a virtual visit, done by passing NULL for
list, similarly to how NULL is passed to visit_start_struct()
when a qapi type is not used in those visits. It was easy to
provide these semantics for qmp-output and dealloc visitors,
and a bit harder for qmp-input (several prerequisite patches
refactored things to make this patch straightforward). But it
turned out that the string and opts visitors munge enough other
state during visit_next_list() to make it easier to just
document and require a GenericList visit for now; an assertion
will remind us to adjust things if we need the semantics in the
future.
Several pre-requisite cleanup patches made the reshuffling of
the various visitors easier; particularly the qmp input visitor.
Backports commit d9f62dde1303286b24ac8ce88be27e2b9b9c5f46 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().

After recent changes, the only remaining use of
visit_start_implicit_struct() is for allocating the space needed
when visiting an alternate. Since the term 'implicit struct' is
hard to explain, rename the function to its current usage. While
at it, we can merge the functionality of visit_get_next_type()
into the same function, making it more like visit_start_struct().

Backports commit dbf11922622685934bfb41e7cf2be9bd4a0405c0 from qemu
By sticking the next pointer first, we don't need a union with
64-bit padding for smaller types. On 32-bit platforms, this
can reduce the size of uint8List from 16 bytes (or 12, depending
on whether 64-bit ints can tolerate 4-byte alignment) down to 8.
It has no effect on 64-bit platforms (where alignment still
dictates a 16-byte struct); but fewer anonymous unions is still
a win in my book.
It requires visit_next_list() to gain a size parameter, to know
what size element to allocate; comparable to the size parameter
of visit_start_struct().
I debated about going one step further, to allow for fewer casts,
by doing:
typedef GenericList GenericList;
struct GenericList {
GenericList *next;
};
struct FooList {
GenericList base;
Foo *value;
};
so that you convert to 'GenericList *' by '&foolist->base', and
back by 'container_of(generic, GenericList, base)' (as opposed to
the existing '(GenericList *)foolist' and '(FooList *)generic').
But doing that would require hoisting the declaration of
GenericList prior to inclusion of qapi-types.h, rather than its
current spot in visitor.h; it also makes iteration a bit more
verbose through 'foolist->base.next' instead of 'foolist->next'.
Note that for lists of objects, the 'value' payload is still
hidden behind a boxed pointer. Someday, it would be nice to do:
struct FooList {
FooList *next;
Foo value;
};
for one less level of malloc for each list element. This patch
is a step in that direction (now that 'next' is no longer at a
fixed non-zero offset within the struct, we can store more than
just a pointer's-worth of data as the value payload), but the
actual conversion would be a task for another series, as it will
touch a lot of code.
Backports commit e65d89bf1a4484e0db0f3dc820a8b209f2fb1e8b from qemu
Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.
Backports commit da34e65cb4025728566d6504a99916f6e7e1dd6a from qemu
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.
Backports commit ac4338f8eb783fd421aae492ca262a586918471e from qemu
Simple unions were carrying a special case that hid their 'data'
QMP member from the resulting C struct, via the hack method
QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariant.simple_union_type(). But by using
the work we started by unboxing flat union and alternate
branches, coupled with the ability to visit the members of an
implicit type, we can now expose the simple union's implicit
type in qapi-types.h:
| struct q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificQCow2_wrapper {
| ImageInfoSpecificQCow2 *data;
| };
|
| struct q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificVmdk_wrapper {
| ImageInfoSpecificVmdk *data;
| };
...
| struct ImageInfoSpecific {
| ImageInfoSpecificKind type;
| union { /* union tag is @type */
| void *data;
|- ImageInfoSpecificQCow2 *qcow2;
|- ImageInfoSpecificVmdk *vmdk;
|+ q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificQCow2_wrapper qcow2;
|+ q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificVmdk_wrapper vmdk;
| } u;
| };
Doing this removes asymmetry between QAPI's QMP side and its
C side (both sides now expose 'data'), and means that the
treatment of a simple union as sugar for a flat union is now
equivalent in both languages (previously the two approaches used
a different layer of dereferencing, where the simple union could
be converted to a flat union with equivalent C layout but
different {} on the wire, or to an equivalent QMP wire form
but with different C representation). Using the implicit type
also lets us get rid of the simple_union_type() hack.
Of course, now all clients of simple unions have to adjust from
using su->u.member to using su->u.member.data; while this touches
a number of files in the tree, some earlier cleanup patches
helped minimize the change to the initialization of a temporary
variable rather than every single member access. The generated
qapi-visit.c code is also affected by the layout change:

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().

'char *').

Backports commit 0949e95b48e30715e157cabbc59dcb0ed912d3ff 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.

Dan Berrange reported a case where he needs to work with a
QCryptoBlockOptions union type using the OptsVisitor, but only
visit one of the branches of that type (the discriminator is not
visited directly, but learned externally). When things were
boxed, it was easy: just visit the variant directly, which took
care of both allocating the variant and visiting its members, then
store that pointer in the union type. But now that things are
unboxed, we need a way to visit the members without allocation,
done by exposing visit_type_FOO_members() to the user.
Before the patch, we had quite a bit of code associated with
object_members_seen to make sure that a declaration of the helper
was in scope before any use of the function. But now that the
helper is public and declared in the header, the .c file no
longer needs to worry about topological sorting (the helper is
always in scope), which leads to some nice cleanups.

C types and JSON objects don't have fields, but members. We
shouldn't gratuitously invent terminology. This patch is a
strict renaming of generator code internals (including testsuite
comments), before later patches rename C interfaces.
No change to generated code with this patch.
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
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
There's no reason to do two malloc's for a flat union; let's just
inline the branch struct directly into the C union branch of the
flat union.
Surprisingly, fewer clients were actually using explicit references
to the branch types in comparison to the number of flat unions
thus modified.
This lets us reduce the hack in qapi-types:gen_variants() added in
the previous patch; we no longer need to distinguish between
alternates and flat unions.
The change to unboxed structs means that u.data (added in commit
cee2dedb) is now coincident with random fields of each branch of
the flat union, whereas beforehand it was only coincident with
pointers (since all branches of a flat union have to be objects).
Note that this was already the case for simple unions - but there
we got lucky. Remember, visit_start_union() blindly returns true
for all visitors except for the dealloc visitor, where it returns
the value !!obj->u.data, and that this result then controls
whether to proceed with the visit to the variant. Pre-patch,
this meant that flat unions were testing whether the boxed pointer
was still NULL, and thereby skipping visit_end_implicit_struct()
and avoiding a NULL dereference if the pointer had not been
allocated. The same was true for simple unions where the current
branch had pointer type, except there we bypassed visit_type_FOO().
But for simple unions where the current branch had scalar type, the
contents of that scalar meant that the decision to call
visit_type_FOO() was data-dependent - the reason we got lucky there
is that visit_type_FOO() for all scalar types in the dealloc visitor
is a no-op (only the pointer variants had anything to free), so it
did not matter whether the dealloc visit was skipped. But with this
patch, we would risk leaking memory if we could skip a call to
visit_type_FOO_fields() based solely on a data-dependent decision.
But notice: in the dealloc visitor, visit_type_FOO() already handles
a NULL obj - it was only the visit_type_implicit_FOO() that was
failing to check for NULL. And now that we have refactored things to
have the branch be part of the parent struct, we no longer have a
separate pointer that can be NULL in the first place. So we can just
delete the call to visit_start_union() altogether, and blindly visit
the branch type; there is no change in behavior except to the dealloc
visitor, where we now unconditionally visit the branch, but where that
visit is now always safe (for a flat union, we can no longer
dereference NULL, and for a simple union, visit_type_FOO() was already
safely handling NULL on pointer types).
Unfortunately, simple unions are not as easy to switch to unboxed
layout; because we are special-casing the hidden implicit type with
a single 'data' member, we really DO need to keep calling another
layer of visit_start_struct(), with a second malloc; although there
are some cleanups planned for simple unions in later patches.
visit_start_union() and gen_visit_implicit_struct() are now unused.
Drop them.
Note that after this patch, the only remaining use of
visit_start_implicit_struct() is for alternate types; the next patch
will do further cleanup based on that fact.
Backports commit 544a3731591f5d53e15f22de00ce5ac758d490b3 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.

We have several instances of methods that do an early exit if
output is not needed, then log that output is being generated,
and finally produce the output; see qapi-types.py:gen_object()
and qapi-visit.py:gen_visit_implicit_struct(). The odd man
out was gen_visit_fields_decl(); rearrange it to be more like
the others. No semantic change or difference to generated code.
Backports commit 2208d64998c5f867ccee7eeee298971685bf822d from qemu
Right now, we emit the branches of union types as a boxed pointer,
and it suffices to have a forward declaration of the type. However,
a future patch will swap things to directly use the branch type,
instead of hiding it behind a pointer. For this to work, the
compiler needs the full definition of the type, not just a forward
declaration, prior to the union that is including the branch type.
This patch just adds topological sorting to hoist all types
mentioned in a branch of a union to be fully declared before the
union itself. The sort is always possible, because we do not
allow circular union types that include themselves as a direct
branch (it is, however, still possible to include a branch type
that itself has a pointer to the union, for a type that can
indirectly recursively nest itself - that remains safe, because
that the member of the branch type will remain a pointer, and the
QMP representation of such a type adds another {} for each recurring
layer of the union type).

gen_visit_union() is now just like gen_visit_struct(). Rename
it to gen_visit_object(), use it for structs, and drop
gen_visit_struct(). Output is unchanged.
Backports commit 59d9e84cc94b8268f13ec184acfb997e8f352593 from qemu
We initially created the static visit_type_FOO_fields() helper
function for reuse of code - we have cases where the initial
setup for a visit has different allocation (depending on whether
the fields represent a stand-alone type or are embedded as part
of a larger type), but where the actual field visits are
identical once a pointer is available.
Up until the previous patch, visit_type_FOO_fields() was only
used for structs (no variants), so it was covering every field
for each type where it was emitted.
Meanwhile, the code for visiting unions looks like:
static visit_type_U_fields() {
visit base;
visit local_members;
}
visit_type_U() {
visit_start_struct();
visit_type_U_fields();
visit variants;
visit_end_struct();
}
which splits the fields of the union visit across two functions.
Move the code to visit variants to live inside visit_type_U_fields(),
while making it conditional on having variants so that all other
instances of the helper function remain unchanged. This is also
a step closer towards unifying struct and union visits, and towards
allowing one union type to be the branch of another flat union.
The resulting diff to the generated code is a bit hard to read,
but it can be verified that it touches only union types, and that
the end result is the following general structure:
static visit_type_U_fields() {
visit base;
visit local_members;
visit variants;
}
visit_type_U() {
visit_start_struct();
visit_type_U_fields();
visit_end_struct();
}

For a simple union SU, gen_visit_union() generates a visit of its
single tag member, like this:
visit_type_SUKind(v, "type", &(*obj)->type, &err);
For a flat union FU with base B, it generates a visit of its base
fields:
visit_type_B_fields(v, (B **)obj, &err);
Instead, we can simply visit the common members using the same fields
visit function we use for structs, generated with
gen_visit_struct_fields(). This function visits the base if any, then
the local members.
For a simple union SU, visit_type_SU_fields() contains exactly the old

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().

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.

at least make it work as long as it is still part of the code

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.

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.

C compilers are allowed to represent enums as a smaller type
than int, if all enum values fit in the smaller type. There
are even compiler flags that force the use of this smaller
representation, although using them changes the ABI of a
binary. Therefore, our generated code for visit_type_ENUM()
(for all qapi enums) was wrong for casting Enum* to int* when
calling visit_type_enum().
It appears that no one has been using compiler ABI switches
for qemu, because if they had, we are potentially dereferencing
beyond bounds or even risking a SIGBUS on platforms where
unaligned pointer dereferencing is fatal. But it is still
better to avoid the practice entirely, and just use the correct
types.
This matches the fix for alternate qapi types, done earlier in
commit 0426d53 "qapi: Simplify visiting of alternate types",
with generated code changing as:

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.

Backports commit 291928a80f39670929fcce222acd5e21d1434692 from qemu
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.
Backports commit 93bda4dd461358b4fc05dfd8e2d6419cdd574789 from qemu
We want to share some clash detection code between enum values
and object type members. To assist with that, split off part
of QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember into a new base class
QAPISchemaMember that tracks name, owner, and common clash
detection code; while the former keeps the additional fields
for type and optional flag.

For less code, reflect the determined boolean value of an optional
visit back to the caller instead of making the caller read the
boolean after the fact.
The resulting generated code has the following diff:
|- visit_optional(v, &has_fdset_id, "fdset-id");
|- if (has_fdset_id) {
|+ if (visit_optional(v, &has_fdset_id, "fdset-id")) {

None of the visitor callbacks would set an error when testing
if an optional field was present; make this part of the interface
contract by eliminating the errp argument.

Backports commit 5cdc8831a795fb8452d7e34f644202fd724e122a from qemu
The QMP input visitor allows integral values to be assigned by
promotion to a QTYPE_QFLOAT. However, when parsing an alternate,
we did not take this into account, such that an alternate that
accepts 'number' and some other type, but not 'int', would reject
integral values.
With this patch, we now have the following desirable table:
alternate has case selected for
'int' 'number' QTYPE_QINT QTYPE_QFLOAT
no no error error
no yes 'number' 'number'
yes no 'int' error
yes yes 'int' 'number'
While it is unlikely that we will ever use 'number' in an
alternate other than in the testsuite, it never hurts to be
more precise in what we allow.
Backports commit d00341af384665d259af475b14c96bb8414df415 from qemu
Now that alternates no longer use an implicit tag, we can
inline _make_implicit_tag() into its one caller,
_def_union_type().
No change to generated code.
Backports commit 9d3f3494c5b941774e2c3e7639332d53bbe6f8be from qemu
Previously, the generated code in qapi-types.c initialized all
enum lookup tables first, prior to any other definitions. But
there are no topological sorting requirements that mandate this
layout, so we can drop the QAPISchemaGenTypeVisitor._fwdefn
field and just generate all definitions in visitation order.
The generated code shows some churn due to reordering, but it
is still fairly straightforward to follow (all the deletions
occur in one hunk, and all the deleted lines are re-inserted
in the same order later in the same files, just spread across
multiple insertion points).
Backports commit 0b2e84ba774651656771ed697dee8825759dffa9 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).
