Currently, a FOO_lookup is an array of strings terminated by a NULL
sentinel.
A future patch will generate enums with "holes". NULL-termination
will cease to work then.
To prepare for that, store the length in the FOO_lookup by wrapping it
in a struct and adding a member for the length.
The sentinel will be dropped next.

PEP 8 advises:
In Python, single-quoted strings and double-quoted strings are the

rule and stick to it. When a string contains single or double

check_list() lets input visitors report that unvisited input remains

Implement the method for the qobject input visitor (straightforward),

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.

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"}}

[Commit message tweaked]
Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
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).

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.

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().

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the

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

qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

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:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

For a flat union FU with base B, it generates a visit of its base

It's even hard to argue that it would be useful in a debugger,

[Harmless rebase mistake cleaned up]
Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
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

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'

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).

What's more meta than using qapi to define qapi? :)
Convert QType into a full-fledged[*] builtin qapi enum type, so
that a subsequent patch can then use it as the discriminator
type of qapi alternate types. Fortunately, the judicious use of
'prefix' in the qapi definition avoids churn to the spelling of
the enum constants.
To avoid circular definitions, we have to flip the order of
inclusion between "qobject.h" vs. "qapi-types.h". Back in commit
28770e0, we had the latter include the former, so that we could
use 'QObject *' for our implementation of 'any'. But that usage
also works with only a forward declaration, whereas the
definition of QObject requires QType to be a complete type.
[*] The type has to be builtin, rather than declared in
qapi/common.json, because we want to use it for alternates even
when common.json is not included. But since it is the first
builtin enum type, we have to add special cases to qapi-types
and qapi-visit to only emit definitions once, even when two
qapi files are being compiled into the same binary (the way we
already handled builtin list types like 'intList'). We may
need to revisit how multiple qapi files share common types,
but that's a project for another day.

We were previously creating all unions with an empty list for
local_members. However, it will make it easier to unify struct
and union generation if we include the generated tag member in
local_members. That way, we can have a common code pattern:
visit the base (if any), visit the local members (if any), visit
the variants (if any). The local_members of a flat union
remains empty (because the discriminator is already visited as
part of the base). Then, by visiting tag_member.check() during
AlternateType.check(), we no longer need to call it during
Variants.check().
The various front end entities now exist as follows:
struct: optional base, optional local_members, no variants
simple union: no base, one-element local_members, variants with tag_member
from local_members
flat union: base, no local_members, variants with tag_member from base
alternate: no base, no local_members, variants
With the new local members, we require a bit of finesse to
avoid assertions in the clients.

Our generated list visitors have the same problem as has been
mentioned elsewhere (see commit 2f52e20): they allocate data
even on failure. An upcoming patch will correct things to
provide saner guarantees, but first we need to expose the
behavior in the testsuite to ensure we aren't introducing any
memory usage bugs.
There are more test cases throughout the test-qmp-input-* tests
that already deal with partial allocation; a later commit will
clean up all visit_type_FOO(), without marking all of the tests
with FIXME at this time.

We have two issues with our qapi union layout:
1) Even though the QMP wire format spells the tag 'type', the
C code spells it 'kind', requiring some hacks in the generator.
2) The C struct uses an anonymous union, which places all tag
values in the same namespace as all non-variant members. This
leads to spurious collisions if a tag value matches a non-variant
member's name.
Make the conversion to the new layout for qapi-visit.py.

The code for visiting the base class of a child struct created
visit_type_Base_fields() which covers all fields of Base; while
the code for visiting the base class of a flat union created
visit_type_Union_fields() covering all fields of the base
except the discriminator. But since the base class includes
the discriminator of a flat union, we can just visit the entire
base, without needing a separate visit of the discriminator.
Not only is consistently visiting all fields easier to
understand, it lets us share code.
The generated code in qapi-visit.c loses several now-unused
visit_type_UNION_fields(), along with changes like:

we have a pointer-to-pointer).

Rather than storing a base class as a pointer to a box, just
store the fields of that base class in the same order, so that
a child struct can be directly cast to its parent. This gives
less malloc overhead, less pointer dereferencing, and even less
generated code. Compare to the earlier commit 1e6c1616a "qapi:
Generate a nicer struct for flat unions" (although that patch
had fewer places to change, as less of qemu was directly using
qapi structs for flat unions). It also allows us to turn on
automatic type-safe wrappers for upcasting to the base class
of a struct.
Changes to the generated code look like this in qapi-types.h:
| struct SpiceChannel {
|- SpiceBasicInfo *base;
|+ /* Members inherited from SpiceBasicInfo: */
|+ char *host;
|+ char *port;
|+ NetworkAddressFamily family;
|+ /* Own members: */
| int64_t connection_id;
as well as additional upcast functions like qapi_SpiceChannel_base().
Meanwhile, changes to qapi-visit.c look like:
| static void visit_type_SpiceChannel_fields(Visitor *v, SpiceChannel **obj, Error **errp)
| {
| Error *err = NULL;
|
|- visit_type_implicit_SpiceBasicInfo(v, &(*obj)->base, &err);
|+ visit_type_SpiceBasicInfo_fields(v, (SpiceBasicInfo **)obj, &err);
| if (err) {
(the cast is necessary, since our upcast wrappers only deal with a
single pointer, not pointer-to-pointer); plus the wholesale
elimination of some now-unused visit_type_implicit_FOO() functions.
Without boxing, the corner case of one empty struct having
another empty struct as its base type now requires inserting a
dummy member (previously, the 'Base *base' member sufficed).
And now that we no longer consume a 'base' member in the generated
C struct, we can delete the former negative struct-base-clash-base
test.

We generate a static visit_type_FOO_fields() for every type
FOO. However, sometimes we need a forward declaration. Split
the code to generate the forward declaration out of
gen_visit_implicit_struct() into a new gen_visit_fields_decl(),
and also prepare for a forward declaration to be emitted
during gen_visit_struct(), so that a future patch can switch
from using visit_type_FOO_implicit() to the simpler
visit_type_FOO_fields() as part of unboxing the base class
of a struct.

We were using regular expressions to see if ret included
any earlier text that emitted a 'goto out;' line, to decide
whether we needed to output an 'out:' label. But this is
fragile, if the ret text can possibly combine more than one
generated function body, where the first function used a
goto but the second does not. Change the code to just check
for the known conditions which cause an error check to be
needed. Besides, it's slightly more efficient to use plain
checks than regular expression searching.

A future patch will enable error reporting from the various
QAPISchema*.check() methods. But to report an error related
to an implicit type, we'll need to associate a location with
the type (the same location as the top-level entity that is
causing the creation of the implicit type), and once we do
that, keying off of whether foo.info exists is no longer a
viable way to determine if foo is an implicit type.
Instead, add an is_implicit() method to QAPISchemaEntity, and use it.
It can be overridden later for ObjectType and EnumType, when implicit
instances of those classes gain info.

Previously, qapi-types and qapi-visit filtered out implicit
objects during visit_object_type() by using 'info' (works since
implicit objects do not [yet] have associated info); meanwhile
qapi-introspect filtered out all schema types on the first pass
by returning a python type from visit_begin(), which was then
used at a distance in QAPISchema.visit() to do the filtering.
Rather than keeping these ad hoc approaches, add a new visitor
callback visit_needed() which returns False to skip a given
entity, and which defaults to True unless overridden. Use the
new mechanism to simplify all three filtering visitors.
