The input visitor has some problems right now, especially
- unsigned type "Range" is used to process signed ranges, resulting in
inconsistent behavior and ugly/magical code
- uint64_t are parsed like int64_t, so big uint64_t values are not
supported and error messages are misleading
- lists/ranges of int64_t are accepted although no list is parsed and
we should rather report an error
- lists/ranges are preparsed using int64_t, making it hard to
implement uint64_t values or uint64_t lists
- types that don't support lists don't bail out
- visiting beyond the end of a list is not handled properly
- we don't actually parse lists, we parse *sets*: members are sorted,
and duplicates eliminated
So let's rewrite it by getting rid of usage of the type "Range" and
properly supporting lists of int64_t and uint64_t (including ranges of
both types), fixing the above mentioned issues.
Lists of other types are not supported and will properly report an
error. Virtual walks are now supported.
Tests have to be fixed up:
- Two BUGs were hardcoded that are fixed now
- The string-input-visitor now actually returns a parsed list and not
an ordered set.
Please note that no users/callers have to be fixed up. Candidates using
visit_type_uint16List() and friends are:
- backends/hostmem.c:host_memory_backend_set_host_nodes()
-- Code can deal with duplicates/unsorted lists
- numa.c::query_memdev()
-- via object_property_get_uint16List(), the list will still be sorted
and without duplicates (via host_memory_backend_get_host_nodes())
- qapi-visit.c::visit_type_Memdev_members()
- qapi-visit.c::visit_type_NumaNodeOptions_members()
- qapi-visit.c::visit_type_RockerOfDpaGroup_members
- qapi-visit.c::visit_type_RxFilterInfo_members()
-- Not used with string-input-visitor.
