Markus Armbruster 481a6bd15c qapi: Improve reporting of member name clashes
We report name clashes like this:

    struct-base-clash.json: In struct 'Sub':
    struct-base-clash.json:5: 'name' (member of Sub) collides with 'name' (member of Base)

The "(member of Sub)" is redundant with "In struct 'Sub'".  Comes from
QAPISchemaMember.describe().  Pass info to it, so it can detect the
redundancy and avoid it.  Result:

    struct-base-clash.json: In struct 'Sub':
    struct-base-clash.json:5: member 'name' collides with member 'name' of type 'Base'

Markus Armbruster 7be6c51194 qapi: Prefix frontend errors with an "in definition" line
We take pains to include the offending expression in error messages,
e.g.

    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'

But not always:

    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings

Instead of improving them one by one, report the offending expression
whenever it is known, like this:

    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json: In enum 'TestIfEnum':
    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings

Error messages that mention the offending expression become a bit
redundant, e.g.

    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json: In alternate 'Alt':
    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'

I'll take care of that later in this series.

Markus Armbruster 87c16dceca qapi: Back out doc comments added just to please qapi.py
This reverts commit 3313b61's changes to tests/qapi-schema/, except
for tests/qapi-schema/doc-*.

We could keep some of these doc comments to serve as positive test
cases.  However, they don't actually add to what we get from doc
comment use in actual schemas, as we we don't test output matches
expectations, and don't systematically cover doc comment features.
Proper positive test coverage would be nice.

Marc-André Lureau 3313b6124b qapi: add qapi2texi script
As the name suggests, the qapi2texi script converts JSON QAPI
description into a texi file suitable for different target
formats (info/man/txt/pdf/html...).

It parses the following kind of blocks:

Free-form:

  ##
  # = Section
  # == Subsection
  #
  # Some text foo with *emphasis*
  # 1. with a list
  # 2. like that
  #
  # And some code:
  # | $ echo foo
  # | -> do this
  # | <- get that
  #
  ##

Symbol description:

  ##
  # @symbol:
  #
  # Symbol body ditto ergo sum. Foo bar
  # baz ding.
  #
  # @param1: the frob to frobnicate
  # @param2: #optional how hard to frobnicate
  #
  # Returns: the frobnicated frob.
  #          If frob isn't frobnicatable, GenericError.
  #
  # Since: version
  # Notes: notes, comments can have
  #        - itemized list
  #        - like this
  #
  # Example:
  #
  # -> { "execute": "quit" }
  # <- { "return": {} }
  #
  ##

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.

Deficiencies and limitations:
- the generated QMP documentation includes internal types
- union type support is lacking
- type information is lacking in generated documentation
- doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point
  to the beginning of the comment.
- a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code

Eric Blake 01cfbaa4c3 qapi: Move duplicate collision checks to schema check()
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.

Eric Blake d220fbcd1d qapi: Test for various name collisions
Expose some weaknesses in the generator: we don't always forbid
the generation of structs that contain multiple members that map
to the same C or QMP name.  This has already been marked FIXME in
qapi.py in commit d90675f, but having more tests will make sure
future patches produce desired behavior; and updating existing
patches to better document things doesn't hurt, either.  Some of
these collisions are already caught in the old-style parser
checks, but ultimately we want all collisions to be caught in the
new-style QAPISchema*.check() methods.

This patch focuses on C struct members, and does not consider
collisions between commands and events (affecting C function
names), or even collisions between generated C type names with
user type names (for things like automatic FOOList struct
representing array types or FOOKind for an implicit enum).

There are two types of struct collisions we want to catch:
 1) Collision between two keys in a JSON object. qapi.py prevents
    that within a single struct (see test duplicate-key), but it is
    possible to have collisions between a type's members and its
    base type's members (existing tests struct-base-clash,
    struct-base-clash-deep), and its flat union variant members
    (renamed test flat-union-clash-member).
 2) Collision between two members of the C struct that is generated
    for a given QAPI type:
    a) Multiple QAPI names map to the same C name (new test
       args-name-clash)
    b) A QAPI name maps to a C name that is used for another purpose
       (new tests flat-union-clash-branch, struct-base-clash-base,
       union-clash-data). We already fixed some such cases in commit
       0f61af3e and 1e6c1616, but more remain.
    c) Two C names generated for other purposes clash
       (updated test alternate-clash, new test union-clash-branches,
       union-clash-type, flat-union-clash-type)

Ultimately, if we need to have a flat union where a tag value
clashes with a base member name, we could change the generator to
name the union (using 'foo.u.value' rather than 'foo.value') or
otherwise munge the C name corresponding to tag values.  But
unless such a need arises, it will probably be easier to just
forbid these collisions.

Some of these negative tests will be deleted later, and positive
tests added to qapi-schema-test.json in their place, when the
generator code is reworked to avoid particular code generation
collisions in class 2).

[Note that viewing this patch with git rename detection enabled
may see some confusion due to renaming some tests while adding
others, but where the content is similar enough that git picks
the wrong pre- and post-patch files to associate]

Eric Blake ff55d72eaf qapi: Check for member name conflicts with a base class
Our type inheritance for both 'struct' and for flat 'union' merges
key/value pairs from the base class with those from the type in
question.  Although the C code currently boxes things so that there
is a distinction between which member is referred to, the QMP wire
format does not allow passing a key more than once in a single
object.  Besides, if we ever change the generated C code to not be
quite so boxy, we'd want to avoid duplicate member names there,
too.

Fix a testsuite entry added in an earlier patch, as well as adding
a couple more tests to ensure we have appropriate coverage.  Ensure
that collisions are detected, regardless of whether there is a
difference in opinion on whether the member name is optional.
