Commit ac88219a had several TODO markers about whether we needed to automatically create the corresponding array type alongside any other type. It turns out that most of the time, we don't! There are a few exceptions: 1) We have a few situations where we use an array type in internal code but do not expose that type through QMP; fix it by declaring a dummy type that forces the generator to see that we want to use the array type. 2) The builtin arrays (such as intList for QAPI ['int']) must always be generated, because of the way our QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN compile guard works: we have situations (at the very least tests/test-qmp-output-visitor.c) that include both top-level "qapi-types.h" (via "error.h") and a secondary "test-qapi-types.h". If we were to only emit the builtin types when used locally, then the first .h file would not include all types, but the second .h does not declare anything at all because the first .h set QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN, and we would end up with compilation error due to things like unknown type 'int8List'. Actually, we may need to revisit how we do type guards, and change from a single QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN over to a different usage pattern that does one #ifdef per qapi type - right now, the only types that are declared multiple times between two qapi .json files for inclusion by a single .c file happen to be the builtin arrays. But now that we have QAPI 'include' statements, it is logical to assume that we will soon reach a point where we want to reuse non-builtin types (yes, I'm thinking about what it will take to add introspection to QGA, where we will want to reuse the SchemaInfo type and friends). One #ifdef per type will help ensure that generating the same qapi type into more than one qapi-types.h won't cause collisions when both are included in the same .c file; but we also have to solve how to avoid creating duplicate qapi-types.c entry points. So that is a problem left for another day. Generated code for qapi-types and qapi-visit is drastically reduced; less than a third of the arrays that were blindly created were actually needed (a quick grep shows we dropped from 219 to 69 *List types), and the .o files lost more than 30% of their bulk. [For best results, diff the generated files with 'git diff --patience --no-index pre post'.] Interestingly, the introspection output is unchanged - this is because we already cull all types that are not indirectly reachable from a command or event, so introspection was already using only a subset of array types. The subset of types introspected is now a much larger percentage of the overall set of array types emitted in qapi-types.h (since the larger set shrunk), but still not 100% (evidence that the array types emitted for our new Dummy structs, and the new struct itself, don't affect QMP).
