qapi: Simplify visits of optional fields
None of the visitor callbacks would set an error when testing if an optional field was present; make this part of the interface contract by eliminating the errp argument. The resulting generated code has a nice diff: |- visit_optional(v, &has_fdset_id, "fdset-id", &err); |- if (err) { |- goto out; |- } |+ visit_optional(v, &has_fdset_id, "fdset-id"); | if (has_fdset_id) { | visit_type_int(v, &fdset_id, "fdset-id", &err); | if (err) { | goto out; | } | } Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <1449033659-25497-9-git-send-email-eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
