qapi/introspect.json defines the introspection schema. It's designed
for QMP introspection, but should do for similar uses, such as QGA.
The introspection schema does not reflect all the rules and
restrictions that apply to QAPI schemata. A valid QAPI schema has an
introspection value conforming to the introspection schema, but the
converse is not true.
Introspection lowers away a number of schema details, and makes
implicit things explicit:
* The built-in types are declared with their JSON type.
All integer types are mapped to 'int', because how many bits we use
internally is an implementation detail. It could be pressed into
external interface service as very approximate range information,
but that's a bad idea. If we need range information, we better do
it properly.
* Implicit type definitions are made explicit, and given
auto-generated names:
- Array types, named by appending "List" to the name of their
element type, like in generated C.
- The enumeration types implicitly defined by simple union types,
named by appending "Kind" to the name of their simple union type,
like in generated C.
- Types that don't occur in generated C. Their names start with ':'
so they don't clash with the user's names.
* All type references are by name.
* The struct and union types are generalized into an object type.
* Base types are flattened.
* Commands take a single argument and return a single result.
Dictionary argument or list result is an implicit type definition.
The empty object type is used when a command takes no arguments or
produces no results.
The argument is always of object type, but the introspection schema
doesn't reflect that.
The 'gen': false directive is omitted as implementation detail.
The 'success-response' directive is omitted as well for now, even
though it's not an implementation detail, because it's not used by
QMP.
* Events carry a single data value.
Implicit type definition and empty object type use, just like for
commands.
The value is of object type, but the introspection schema doesn't
reflect that.
* Types not used by commands or events are omitted.
Indirect use counts as use.
* Optional members have a default, which can only be null right now
Instead of a mandatory "optional" flag, we have an optional default.
No default means mandatory, default null means optional without
default value. Non-null is available for optional with default
(possible future extension).
* Clients should *not* look up types by name, because type names are
not ABI. Look up the command or event you're interested in, then
follow the references.
TODO Should we hide the type names to eliminate the temptation?
New generator scripts/qapi-introspect.py computes an introspection
value for its input, and generates a C variable holding it.
It can generate awfully long lines. Marked TODO.
A new test-qmp-input-visitor test case feeds its result for both
tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json and qapi-schema.json to a
QmpInputVisitor to verify it actually conforms to the schema.
New QMP command query-qmp-schema takes its return value from that
variable. Its reply is some 85KiBytes for me right now.
If this turns out to be too much, we have a couple of options:
* We can use shorter names in the JSON. Not the QMP style.
* Optionally return the sub-schema for commands and events given as
arguments.
Right now qmp_query_schema() sends the string literal computed by
qmp-introspect.py. To compute sub-schema at run time, we'd have to
duplicate parts of qapi-introspect.py in C. Unattractive.
* Let clients cache the output of query-qmp-schema.
It changes only on QEMU upgrades, i.e. rarely. Provide a command
query-qmp-schema-hash. Clients can have a cache indexed by hash,
and re-query the schema only when they don't have it cached. Even
simpler: put the hash in the QMP greeting.

Fixes flat unions to get the base's base members. Test case is from
commit 2fc0043, in qapi-schema-test.json:
{ 'union': 'UserDefFlatUnion',
'base': 'UserDefUnionBase',
'discriminator': 'enum1',
'data': { 'value1' : 'UserDefA',
'value2' : 'UserDefB',
'value3' : 'UserDefB' } }
{ 'struct': 'UserDefUnionBase',
'base': 'UserDefZero',
'data': { 'string': 'str', 'enum1': 'EnumOne' } }
{ 'struct': 'UserDefZero',
'data': { 'integer': 'int' } }
Patch's effect on UserDefFlatUnion:
struct UserDefFlatUnion {
/* Members inherited from UserDefUnionBase: */
+ int64_t integer;
char *string;
EnumOne enum1;
/* Own members: */
union { /* union tag is @enum1 */
void *data;
UserDefA *value1;
UserDefB *value2;
UserDefB *value3;
};
};
Flat union visitors remain broken. They'll be fixed next.
Code is generated in a different order now, but that doesn't matter.
The two guards QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN_STRUCT_DECL and
QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN_CLEANUP_DECL are replaced by just
QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN.
Two ugly special cases for simple unions now stand out like sore
thumbs:
1. The type tag is named 'type' everywhere, except in generated C,
where it's 'kind'.
2. QAPISchema lowers simple unions to semantically equivalent flat
unions. However, the C generated for a simple unions differs from
the C generated for its equivalent flat union, and we therefore
need special code to preserve that pointless difference for now.
Mark both TODO.

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.

The camel_to_upper() method applies some heuristics to turn
a mixed case type name into an all-uppercase name. This is
used for example, to generate enum constant name prefixes.
The heuristics don't also generate a satisfactory name
though. eg
{ 'enum': 'QCryptoTLSCredsEndpoint',
'data': ['client', 'server']}
Results in Q_CRYPTOTLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT_CLIENT. This has
an undesirable _ after the initial Q and is missing an
_ between the CRYPTO & TLS strings.
Rather than try to add more and more heuristics to try
to cope with this, simply allow the QAPI schema to
specify the desired enum constant prefix explicitly.
eg
{ 'enum': 'QCryptoTLSCredsEndpoint',
'prefix': 'QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT',
'data': ['client', 'server']}
Now gives the QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT_CLIENT name.

check_type() first checks and peels off the array type, then checks
the element type. For two out of four error messages, it takes pains
to report errors for "array of T" instead of just T. Odd. Let's
examine the errors.
* Unknown element type, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/args-array-unknown.json:
Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type
'array of NoSuchType'
To make sense of this, you need to know that 'array of NoSuchType'
refers to '[NoSuchType]'. Easy enough. However, simply reporting
Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type
'NoSuchType'
is at least as easy to understand.
* Element type's meta-type is inadmissible, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/returns-whitelist.json:
'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot
use built-in type 'array of int'
'array of int' is technically not a built-in type, but that's
pedantry. However, simply reporting
'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot
use built-in type 'int'
avoids the issue, and is at least as easy to understand.
* The remaining two errors are unreachable, because the array checking
ensures that value is a string.
Thus, reporting some errors for "array of T" instead of just T works,
but doesn't really improve things. Drop it.

Continuing the string of cleanups for supporting downstream names
containing '.', this patch focuses on ensuring c_type() can
handle a downstream name. This patch alone does not fix the
places where generator output should be calling this function
but was open-coding things instead, but it gets us a step closer.
In particular, the changes to c_list_type() and type_name() mean
that type_name(FOO) now handles the case when FOO contains '.',
'-', or is a ticklish identifier other than a builtin (builtins
are exempted because ['int'] must remain mapped to 'intList' and
not 'q_intList'). Meanwhile, ['unix'] now maps to 'q_unixList'
rather than 'unixList', to match the fact that 'unix' is ticklish;
however, our naming conventions state that complex types should
start with a capital, so no type name following conventions will
ever have the 'q_' prepended.
Likewise, changes to c_type() mean that c_type(FOO) properly
handles an enum or complex type FOO with '.' or '-' in the
name, or is a ticklish identifier (again, a ticklish identifier
as a type name violates conventions).
