QAPI objects can contain references to other QAPI objects, + * resulting in a directed acyclic graph. QAPI also generates visitor + * functions to walk these graphs. This file represents the interface + * for doing work at each node of a QAPI graph; it can also be used + * for a virtual walk, where there is no actual QAPI C struct. + * + * There are three kinds of visitor classes: input visitors (QMP, + * string, and QemuOpts) parse an external representation and build + * the corresponding QAPI graph, output visitors (QMP and string) take + * a completed QAPI graph and generate an external representation, and + * the dealloc visitor can take a QAPI graph (possibly partially + * constructed) and recursively free its resources. While the dealloc + * and QMP input/output visitors are general, the string and QemuOpts + * visitors have some implementation limitations; see the + * documentation for each visitor for more details on what it + * supports. Also, see visitor-impl.h for the callback contracts + * implemented by each visitor, and docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more + * about the QAPI code generator. + * + * All QAPI types have a corresponding function with a signature + * roughly compatible with this: + * + * void visit_type_FOO(Visitor *v, const char *name, T obj, Error **errp); + * + * where T is FOO for scalar types, and FOO * otherwise. The scalar + * visitors are declared here; the remaining visitors are generated in + * qapi-visit.h. + * + * The @name parameter of visit_type_FOO() describes the relation + * between this QAPI value and its parent container. When visiting + * the root of a tree, @name is ignored; when visiting a member of an + * object, @name is the key associated with the value; and when + * visiting a member of a list, @name is NULL. + * + * FIXME: Clients must pass NULL for @name when visiting a member of a + * list, but this leads to poor error messages; it might be nicer to + * require a non-NULL name such as "key.0" for '{ "key": [ "value" ] + * }' if an error is encountered on "value" (or to have the visitor + * core auto-generate the nicer name). + * + * The visit_type_FOO() functions expect a non-null @obj argument; + * they allocate *@obj during input visits, leave it unchanged on + * output visits, and recursively free any resources during a dealloc + * visit. Each function also takes the customary @errp argument (see + * qapi/error.h for details), for reporting any errors (such as if a + * member @name is not present, or is present but not the specified + * type). + * + * FIXME: At present, visit_type_FOO() is an awkward interface: input + * visitors may allocate an incomplete *@obj even when reporting an + * error, but using an output visitor with an incomplete object has + * undefined behavior. To avoid a memory leak, callers must use + * qapi_free_FOO() even on error (this uses the dealloc visitor, and + * safely handles an incomplete object). + * + * For the QAPI object types (structs, unions, and alternates), there + * is an additional generated function in qapi-visit.h compatible + * with: + * + * void visit_type_FOO_members(Visitor *v, FOO *obj, Error **errp); + * + * for visiting the members of a type without also allocating the QAPI + * struct. + * + * Additionally, in qapi-types.h, all QAPI pointer types (structs, + * unions, alternates, and lists) have a generated function compatible + * with: + * + * void qapi_free_FOO(FOO *obj); + * + * which behaves like free() in that @obj may be NULL. Because of + * these functions, the dealloc visitor is seldom used directly + * outside of generated code.
