visit_start_struct() and visit_type_enum() had a 'kind' argument
that was usually set to either the stringized version of the
corresponding qapi type name, or to NULL (although some clients
didn't even get that right). But nothing ever used the argument.
It's even hard to argue that it would be useful in a debugger,
as a stack backtrace also tells which type is being visited.
Therefore, drop the 'kind' argument as dead.

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.

Backports commit 51e72bc1dd6ace6e91d675f41a1f09bd00ab8043 from qemu
All other successful clients of visit_start_struct() were paired
with an unconditional visit_end_struct(); but the generated
code for events was relying on qmp_output_visitor_cleanup() to
work on an incomplete visit. Alter the code to guarantee that
the struct is completed, which will make a future patch to
split visit_end_struct() easier to reason about. While at it,
drop some assertions and comments that are not present in other
uses of the qmp output visitor, and pass NULL rather than "" as
the 'kind' parameter (matching most other uses where obj is NULL).
The changes to the generated code look like:
| qmp = qmp_event_build_dict("DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED");
|
| qov = qmp_output_visitor_new();
|- g_assert(qov);
|-
| v = qmp_output_get_visitor(qov);
|- g_assert(v);
|
|- /* Fake visit, as if all members are under a structure */
|- visit_start_struct(v, NULL, "", "DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED", 0, &err);
|+ visit_start_struct(v, NULL, NULL, "DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED", 0, &err);
| if (err) {
| goto out;
| }
| visit_type_str(v, (char **)&device, "device", &err);
| if (err) {
|- goto out;
|+ goto out_obj;
| }
| visit_type_bool(v, &tray_open, "tray-open", &err);
| if (err) {
|- goto out;
|+ goto out_obj;
| }
|- visit_end_struct(v, &err);
|+out_obj:
|+ visit_end_struct(v, err ? NULL : &err);
| if (err) {
| goto out;
| }
|
| obj = qmp_output_get_qobject(qov);
|- g_assert(obj != NULL);
|+ g_assert(obj);
|
| qdict_put_obj(qmp, "data", obj);
| emit(QAPI_EVENT_DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED, qmp, &err);
Note that the 'goto out_obj' with no intervening code before the
label, as well as the construct of 'err ? NULL : &err', are both
a bit unusual but also temporary; they get fixed in a later patch
that splits visit_end_struct() to drop its errp parameter by moving
some checking before the label. But until that time, this was the
simplest way to avoid the appearance of passing a possibly-set
error to visit_end_struct(), even though actual code inspection
shows that visit_end_struct() for a QMP output visitor will never
set an error.
Backports commit a16e3e5c5825c90887a863513916f93eeec16c55 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.
No change in semantics to the generated code.

Duplicated in commit 21cd70d. Yes, we can't import qapi-types, but
that's no excuse. Move the helpers from qapi-types.py to qapi.py, and
replace the duplicates in qapi-event.py.
The generated event enumeration type's lookup table becomes
const-correct (see commit 2e4450f), and uses explicit indexes instead
of relying on order (see commit 912ae9c).

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.

gen_sync_call()'s parameter indent is useless: gen_sync_call() uses it
only as optional argument for push_indent() and pop_indent(), their
default is four, and gen_sync_call()'s only caller passes four. Drop
the parameter.
gen_visitor_input_containers_decl()'s parameter obj is always
"QOBJECT(args)". Use that, and drop the parameter.
Drop unused parameters of gen_marshal_output(),
gen_marshal_input_decl(), generate_visit_struct_body(),
generate_visit_list(), generate_visit_enum(), generate_declaration(),
generate_enum_declaration(), generate_decl_enum().
Drop unused variables in generate_event_enum_lookup(),

Use c_name() instead of ad hoc code. Doesn't upcase the -p prefix,

Now that the two functions are identical, we only need one of them,
and we might as well give it a more descriptive name. Basically,
the function serves as the translation from a QAPI name into a
(portion of a) C identifier, without regards to whether it is a
variable or function name.
Backports commit 18df515ebbefa9f13474b128b8050d5fa346ea1e from qemu
A future patch will be using a 'name':{dictionary} entry in the
QAPI schema to specify a default value for an optional argument
(see previous commit messages for more details why); but existing
use of inline nested structs conflicts with that goal. Now that
all commands have been changed to avoid inline nested structs,
nuke support for them, and turn it into a hard error. Update the
testsuite to reflect tighter parsing rules.
