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.
No change to generated code.

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.
No change to generated code.
Backports commit f9e6102b48f21e464a847a858a456c521e7a83e5 from qemu
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.
Backports commit 49823c4b4304a3e4aa5d67e089946b12d6a52d64 from qemu
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.
No change to the generated code.
Backports commit 25a0d9c977c2f5db914b0a1619759fd77d97b016 from qemu
Consolidate the code between visit, command marshalling, and
event generation that iterates over the members of a struct.
It reduces code duplication in the generator, so that a future
patch can reduce the size of generated code while touching only
one instead of three locations.
There are no changes to the generated marshal code.
The visitor code becomes slightly more verbose, but remains
semantically equivalent, and is actually easier to read as
it follows a more common idiom:
| visit_optional(v, &(*obj)->has_device, "device", &err);
|- if (!err && (*obj)->has_device) {
|- visit_type_str(v, &(*obj)->device, "device", &err);
|- }
| if (err) {
| goto out;
| }
|+ if ((*obj)->has_device) {
|+ visit_type_str(v, &(*obj)->device, "device", &err);
|+ if (err) {
|+ goto out;
|+ }
|+ }
The event code becomes slightly more verbose, but this is
arguably a bug fix: although the visitors are not well
documented, use of an optional member should not be attempted
unless guarded by a prior call to visit_optional(). Works only
because the output qmp visitor has a no-op visit_optional():
|+ visit_optional(v, &has_offset, "offset", &err);
|+ if (err) {
|+ goto out;
|+ }
| if (has_offset) {
| visit_type_int(v, &offset, "offset", &err);
Backports commit 82ca8e469666b169ccf818a0e36136aee97d7db0 from qemu
We had some pointless differences in the generated code for visit,
command marshalling, and events; unifying them makes it easier for
future patches to consolidate to common helper functions.
This is one patch of a series to clean up these differences.
This patch reduces the number of push_indent()/pop_indent() pairs
so that generated code is typically already at its natural output
indentation in the python files. It is easier to reason about
generated code if the reader does not have to track how much
spacing will be inserted alongside the code, and moreso when all
of the generators use the same patterns (qapi-type and qapi-event
were already using in-place indentation).
Arguably, the resulting python may be a bit harder to read with C
code at the same indentation as python; on the other hand, not
having to think about push_indent() is a win, and most decent
editors provide syntax highlighting that makes it easier to
visually distinguish python code from string literals that will
become C code.
There is no change to the generated output.

future patches to consolidate to common helper functions.
This is one patch of a series to clean up these differences.
This patch names the goto labels 'out' (not 'clean') and 'out_obj'
(not 'out_end'). Additionally, the generator was inconsistent on
whether labels had a leading space [our HACKING is silent; while
emacs 'gnu' style adds the space to avoid littering column 1].
For minimal churn, prefer no leading space; this also matches
the style that is more prevalent in current qemu.git.

Fixes flat unions to visit the base's base members (the previous
commit merely added them to the struct). Same test case.
Patch's effect on visit_type_UserDefFlatUnion():
static void visit_type_UserDefFlatUnion_fields(Visitor *m, UserDefFlatUnion **obj, Error **errp)
{
Error *err = NULL;
+ visit_type_int(m, &(*obj)->integer, "integer", &err);
+ if (err) {
+ goto out;
+ }
visit_type_str(m, &(*obj)->string, "string", &err);
if (err) {
goto out;
Test cases updated for the bug fix.
Fixes alternates to generate a visitor for their implicit enumeration
type. None of them are currently used, obviously. Example:
block-core.json's BlockdevRef now generates
visit_type_BlockdevRefKind().
Code is generated in a different order now, and therefore has got a
few new forward declarations. Doesn't matter.
The guard QAPI_VISIT_BUILTIN_VISITOR_DECL is renamed to
QAPI_VISIT_BUILTIN.
The previous commit's two ugly special cases exist here, too. 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.
Simple unions are lowered to flat unions. Flat unions and structs are
represented as a more general object type.
Catching name collisions in generated code would be nice. Mark as
TODO.
We generate array types eagerly, even though most of them aren't used.
Mark as TODO.
Nothing uses the new intermediate representation just yet, thus no
change to generated files.

unadulterated, like we do everywhere else.
Only qapi-schema-test.json actually has names where this makes a

simple union __org.qemu_x-Union1 and its implicit enum
__org.qemu_x-Union1Kind.
Backports commit 40b3adec13a9e022ff5a2e2b81c243fc0a026746 from qemu
The visit_type_implicit_FOO() are generated on demand, right before
their first use. Used by visit_type_STRUCT_fields() when STRUCT has
base FOO, and by visit_type_UNION() when flat UNION has member a FOO.
If the schema defines FOO after its first use as struct base or flat
union member, visit_type_implicit_FOO() calls
visit_type_implicit_FOO() before its definition, which doesn't
compile.
Rearrange qapi-schema-test.json to demonstrate the bug.
Fix by generating the necessary forward declaration.

A flat union's tag member gets renamed to 'kind' in the generated
code. Breaks when another member named 'kind' exists.
Example, adapted from qapi-schema-test.json:
{ 'struct': 'UserDefUnionBase',
'data': { 'kind': 'str', 'enum1': 'EnumOne' } }
We generate:
struct UserDefFlatUnion
{
EnumOne kind;
union {
void *data;
UserDefA *value1;
UserDefB *value2;
UserDefB *value3;
};
char *kind;
};

Now that the two functions are identical, we only need one of them,

Backports commit 6b5abc7df7ef9aadb3ff0eba6ccf4f1f0181e2e1 from qemu
Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union,
alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the
schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing. The confusion
is only made worse by the fact that the generator mostly already
refers to struct even when dealing with expr['type']. This
commit changes the generator to consistently refer to it as
struct everywhere, plus a single back-compat tweak that allows
accepting the existing .json files as-is, so that the meat of
this change is separate from the mindless churn of that change.
Fix the testsuite fallout for error messages that change, and
in some cases, become more legible. Improve comments to better
match our intentions where a struct (rather than any complex
type) is required. Note that in some cases, an error message
now refers to 'struct' while the schema still refers to 'type';
that will be cleaned up in the later commit to the schema.
Backports commit fd41dd4eae5f7ea92f10c04cb3f217727fcee91f from qemu
Previous patches have led up to the point where I create the
new meta-type "'alternate':'Foo'". See the previous patches
for documentation; I intentionally split as much work into
earlier patches to minimize the size of this patch, but a lot
of it is churn due to testsuite fallout after updating to the
new type.
Backports commit ab916faddd16f0165e9cc2551f90699be8efde53 from qemu
Special-casing 'discriminator == {}' for handling anonymous unions
is getting awkward; since this particular type is not always a
dictionary on the wire, it is easier to treat it as a completely
different class of type, "alternate", so that if a type is listed
in the union_types array, we know it is not an anonymous union.
This patch just further segregates union handling, to make sure that
anonymous unions are not stored in union_types, and splitting up
check_union() into separate functions. A future patch will change
the qapi grammar, and having the segregation already in place will
make it easier to deal with the distinct meta-type.
Backports commit 811d04fd0cff1229480d3f5b2e349f646ab6e3c1 from qemu
None of the existing QMP or QGA interfaces uses a union with a
base type but no discriminator; it is easier to avoid this in the
generator to save room for other future extensions more likely to
be useful. An earlier commit added a union-base-no-discriminator
test to ensure that we eventually give a decent error message;
likewise, removing UserDefUnion outright is okay, because we moved
all the tests we wish to keep into the tests of the simple union
UserDefNativeListUnion in the previous commit. Now is the time to
actually forbid simple union with base, and remove the last
vestiges from the testsuite.

No backend was setting an error when ending the visit of a list or
implicit struct, or when moving to the next list node. Make the
callers a bit easier to follow by making this a part of the contract,
and removing the errp argument - callers can then unconditionally end
an object as part of cleanup without having to think about whether a
second error is dominated by a first, because there is no second
error.
A later patch will then tackle the larger task of splitting
visit_end_struct(), which can indeed set an error.
