We traditionally mark optional members #optional in the doc comment.
Before commit 3313b61, this was entirely manual.
Commit 3313b61 added some automation because its qapi2texi.py relied
on #optional to determine whether a member is optional. This is no
longer the case since the previous commit: the only thing qapi2texi.py
still does with #optional is stripping it out. We still reject bogus
qapi-schema.json and six places for qga/qapi-schema.json.
Thus, you can't actually rely on #optional to see whether something is
optional. Yet we still make people add it manually. That's just
busy-work.
Drop the code to check, fix up and strip out #optional, along with all
instances of #optional. To keep it out, add code to reject it, to be
dropped again once the dust settles.
No change to generated documentation.

Since we added the documentation generator in commit 3313b61, doc
comments are mandatory. That's a very good idea for a schema that
needs to be documented, but has proven to be annoying for testing.
Make doc comments optional again, but add a new directive
{ 'pragma': { 'doc-required': true } }
to let a QAPI schema require them.
Add test cases for the new pragma directive. While there, plug a
minor hole in includ directive test coverage.
Require documentation in the schemas we actually want documented:
qapi-schema.json and qga/qapi-schema.json.

It parses the following kind of blocks:

That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar:
api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n"
comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment
freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" }
symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment }
member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
text = free text with markup
Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed
both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment. The actual parser
recognizes symbol_comment.
See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details.

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.

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

The dealloc visitor is the first one converted to completely use

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.

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().

The use of 'err ? NULL : &err' is temporary; a later patch will
clean that up when it splits visit_end_struct().
Prior to this patch, the fact that there was no final
visit_end_struct() meant that even though we are using a strict
input visit, the marshalling code was not detecting excess input
at the top level (only in nested levels). Fortunately, we have
code in monitor.c:qmp_check_client_args() that also checks for
no excess arguments at the top level. But as the generated code
is more compact than the manual check, a later patch will clean
up monitor.c to drop the redundancy added here.

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.

Although we don't want to repeat the entire BlockdevOptions
QMP command in the example, it helps if we aren't needlessly
diverging (the initial example was written before we had
committed the actual QMP interface). Use names that match what
is found in qapi/block-core.json, such as '*read-only' rather
than 'readonly', or 'BlockdevRef' rather than 'BlockRef'.
For the simple union example, invent BlockdevOptionsSimple so
that later text is unambiguous which of the two union forms is
meant (telling the user to refer back to two 'BlockdevOptions'
wasn't nice, and QMP has only the flat union form).
Also, mention that the discriminator of a flat union is
non-optional.

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.

Several commits have been changing the generator, but not updating
the docs to match:
- The implicit tag member is named "type", not "kind". Screwed up in
commit 39a1815.
- Commit 9f08c8ec made list types lazy, and thereby dropped
UserDefOneList if nothing explicitly uses the list type.
- Commit 51e72bc1 switched the parameter order with 'name' occurring
earlier.
- Commit e65d89bf changed the layout of UserDefOneList.
- Prefer the term 'member' over 'field'.
- We now expose visit_type_FOO_members() for objects.
- etc.
Rework the examples to show slightly more output (we don't want to
show too much; that's what the testsuite is for), and regenerate the
output to match all recent changes. Also, rearrange output to show
.h files before .c (understanding the interface first often makes
the implementation easier to follow).

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.

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 already documented that qapi names should match specific
patterns (such as starting with a letter unless it was an enum
value or a downstream extension). Tighten that from a suggestion
into a hard requirement, which frees up names beginning with a
single underscore for qapi internal usage.
The tighter regex doesn't forbid everything insane that a user
could provide (for example, a user could name a type 'Foo-lookup'
to collide with the generated 'Foo_lookup[]' for an enum 'Foo'),
but does a good job at protecting the most obvious uses, and
also happens to reserve single leading underscore for later use.
The handling of enum values starting with a digit is tricky:
commit 9fb081e introduced a subtle bug by using c_name() on
a munged value, which would allow an enum to include the
member 'q-int' in spite of our reservation. Furthermore,
munging with a leading '_' would fail our tighter regex. So
fix it by only munging for leading digits (which are never
ticklish in c_name()) and by using a different prefix (I
picked 'D', although any letter should do).
Add new tests, reserved-member-underscore and reserved-enum-q,
to demonstrate the tighter checking.

qapi-code-gen.txt already claims that types, commands, and
events share a common namespace; set this in stone by further
documenting that our introspection output will never have
collisions with the same name tied to more than one meta-type.
Our largest QMP enum currently has 125 values, our largest
object type has 27 members, and the mean for each is less than
10. These sizes are small enough that the per-element overhead
of O(log n) binary searching probably outweighs the speed
possible with direct O(n) linear searching (a better algorithm
with more overhead will only beat a leaner naive algorithm only
as you scale to larger input sizes).
Arguably, the overall SchemaInfo array could be sorted by name;
there, we currently have 531 entities, large enough for a binary
search to be faster than linear. However, remember that we have
mutually-recursive types, which means there is no topological
ordering that will allow clients to learn all information about
that type in a single linear pass; thus clients will want to do
random access over the data, and they will probably read the
introspection output into a hashtable for O(1) lookup rather
than O(log n) binary searching, at which point, pre-sorting our
introspection output doesn't help the client.
It doesn't help that sorting can be subjective if you introduce
locales into the mix (I'm not experienced enough with Python
to know for sure, but at least it looks like it defaults to
sorting in the C locale even when run under a different locale).
And while our current introspection output is deterministic
(because we visit entities in a sorted order), we may want
to change that order in the future (such as using OrderedDict
to stick to .json declaration order).
For these reasons, we simply document that clients should not
rely on any particular order of items in introspection output.
And since it is now a documented part of the contract, we have
the freedom to later rearrange output if needed, without
worrying about breaking well-written clients.

For the sake of humans reading introspection output, it is nice

humans to skip from a command with return type "[123]" straight
to the definition of type "123" without having to first inspect
type "[123]", document that this shortcut should not be taken by
client apps.
This makes the resulting introspection string slightly larger by

c_name() produces names starting with 'q_' when protecting a
dictionary member name that would fail to directly compile, but
in doing so can cause clashes with any member name already
beginning with 'q-' or 'q_'. Likewise, we create a C name 'has_'
for any optional member that can clash with any member name
beginning with 'has-' or 'has_'.
Technically, rather than blindly reserving the namespace,
we could try to complain about user names only when an actual
collision occurs, or even teach c_name() how to munge names
to avoid collisions. But it is not trivial, especially when
collisions can occur across multiple types (such as via
inheritance or flat unions). Besides, no existing .json
files are trying to use these names. So it's easier to just
outright forbid the potential for collision. We can always
relax things in the future if a real need arises for QMP to
express member names that have been forbidden here.
'has_' only has to be reserved for struct/union member names,
while 'q_' is reserved everywhere (matching the fact that
only members can be optional, while we use c_name() for munging
both members and entities). Note that we could relax 'q_'
restrictions on entities independently from member names; for
example, c_name('qmp_' + 'unix') would result in a different
function name than our current 'qmp_' + c_name('unix').

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 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.
