2015-12-17qapi: Shorter visits of optional fieldsEric Blake
For less code, reflect the determined boolean value of an optional visit back to the caller instead of making the caller read the boolean after the fact. The resulting generated code has the following diff: |- visit_optional(v, &has_fdset_id, "fdset-id"); |- if (has_fdset_id) { |+ if (visit_optional(v, &has_fdset_id, "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: <1449033659-25497-10-git-send-email-eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

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.

2015-12-17qapi: Fix alternates that accept 'number' but not 'int'Eric Blake
The QMP input visitor allows integral values to be assigned by promotion to a QTYPE_QFLOAT. However, when parsing an alternate, we did not take this into account, such that an alternate that accepts 'number' and some other type, but not 'int', would reject integral values. With this patch, we now have the following desirable table: alternate has case selected for 'int' 'number' QTYPE_QINT QTYPE_QFLOAT no no error error no yes 'number' 'number' yes no 'int' error yes yes 'int' 'number' While it is unlikely that we will ever use 'number' in an alternate other than in the testsuite, it never hurts to be more precise in what we allow.

2015-12-17qapi: Simplify visiting of alternate typesEric Blake
Previously, working with alternates required two lookup arrays and some indirection: for type Foo, we created Foo_qtypes[] which maps each qtype to a value of the generated FooKind enum, then look up that value in FooKind_lookup[] like we do for other union types. This has a couple of subtle bugs. First, the generator was creating a call with a parameter '(int *) &(*obj)->type' where type is an enum type; this is unsafe if the compiler chooses to store the enum type in a different size than int, where assigning through the wrong size pointer can corrupt data or cause a SIGBUS. Related bug, not not fixed in this patch: qapi-visit.py's gen_visit_enum() generates a cast of its enum * argument to int *. Marked FIXME. Second, since the values of the FooKind enum start at zero, all entries of the Foo_qtypes[] array that were not explicitly initialized will map to the same branch of the union as the first member of the alternate, rather than triggering a desired failure in visit_get_next_type(). Fortunately, the bug seldom bites; the very next thing the input visitor does is try to parse the incoming JSON with the wrong parser, which normally fails; the output visitor is not used with a C struct in that state, and the dealloc visitor has nothing to clean up (so there is no leak). However, the second bug IS observable in one case: parsing an integer causes unusual behavior in an alternate that contains at least a 'number' member but no 'int' member, because the 'number' parser accepts QTYPE_QINT in addition to the expected QTYPE_QFLOAT (that is, since 'int' is not a member, the type QTYPE_QINT accidentally maps to FooKind 0; if this enum value is the 'number' branch the integer parses successfully, but if the 'number' branch is not first, some other branch tries to parse the integer and rejects it). A later patch will worry about fixing alternates to always parse all inputs that a non-alternate 'number' would accept, for now this is still marked FIXME in the updated test-qmp-input-visitor.c, to merely point out that new undesired behavior of 'ans' matches the existing undesired behavior of 'asn'. This patch fixes the default-initialization bug by deleting the indirection, and modifying get_next_type() to directly assign a QTypeCode parameter. This in turn fixes the type-casting bug, as we are no longer casting a pointer to enum to a questionable size. There is no longer a need to generate an implicit FooKind enum associated with the alternate type (since the QMP wire format never uses the stringized counterparts of the C union member names). Since the updated visit_get_next_type() does not know which qtypes are expected, the generated visitor is modified to generate an error statement if an unexpected type is encountered. Callers now have to know the QTYPE_* mapping when looking at the discriminator; but so far, only the testsuite was even using the C struct of an alternate types. I considered the possibility of keeping the internal enum FooKind, but initialized differently than most generated arrays, as in: typedef enum FooKind { FOO_KIND_A = QTYPE_QDICT, FOO_KIND_B = QTYPE_QINT, } FooKind; to create nicer aliases for knowing when to use foo->a or foo->b when inspecting foo->type; but it turned out to add too much complexity, especially without a client. There is a user-visible side effect to this change, but I consider it to be an improvement. Previously, the invalid QMP command: {"execute":"blockdev-add", "arguments":{"options": {"driver":"raw", "id":"a", "file":true}}} failed with: {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'file', expected: QDict"}} (visit_get_next_type() succeeded, and the error comes from the visit_type_BlockdevOptions() expecting {}; there is no mention of the fact that a string would also work). Now it fails with: {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'file', expected: BlockdevRef"}} (the error when the next type doesn't match any expected types for the overall alternate).

The enum string table parameters in various QOM/QAPI methods are declared 'const char *strings[]'. This results in const warnings if passed a variable that was declared as static const char * const strings[] = { .... }; Add the extra const annotation to the parameters, since neither the string elements, nor the array itself should ever be modified.

2014-09-26qapi: add visit_start_union and visit_end_unionMichael Roth
In some cases an input visitor might bail out on filling out a struct for various reasons, such as missing fields when running in strict mode. In the case of a QAPI Union type, this may lead to cases where the .kind field which encodes the union type is uninitialized. Subsequently, other visitors, such as the dealloc visitor, may use this .kind value as if it were initialized, leading to assumptions about the union type which in this case may lead to segfaults. For example, freeing an integer value. However, we can generally rely on the fact that the always-present .data void * field that we generate for these union types will always be NULL in cases where .kind is uninitialized (at least, there shouldn't be a reason where we'd do this purposefully). So pass this information on to Visitor implementation via these optional start_union/end_union interfaces so this information can be used to guard against the situation above. We will make use of this information in a subsequent patch for the dealloc visitor.

2014-05-15qapi: Replace start_optional()/end_optional() by optional()Markus Armbruster
Semantics of end_optional() differ subtly from the other end_FOO() callbacks: when start_FOO() succeeds, the matching end_FOO() gets called regardless of what happens in between. end_optional() gets called only when everything in between succeeds as well. Entirely undocumented, like all of the visitor API. The only user of Visitor Callback end_optional() never did anything, and was removed in commit 9f9ab46. I'm about to clean up error handling in the generated visitor code, and end_optional() is in my way. No users mean no test cases, and making non-trivial cleanup transformations without test cases doesn't strike me as a good idea. Drop end_optional(), and rename start_optional() to optional(). We can always go back to a pair of callbacks when we have an actual need.

2013-07-26qapi: Anonymous unionsKevin Wolf
The discriminator for anonymous unions is the data type. This allows to have a union type that allows both of these: { 'file': 'my_existing_block_device_id' } { 'file': { 'filename': '/tmp/mydisk.qcow2', 'read-only': true } } Unions like this are specified in the schema with an empty dict as discriminator. For this example you could take: { 'union': 'BlockRef', 'discriminator': {}, 'data': { 'definition': 'BlockOptions', 'reference': 'str' } } { 'type': 'ExampleObject', 'data: { 'file': 'BlockRef' } } Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

2013-05-30qapi: pad GenericList value fields to 64 bitsMichael Roth
With the introduction of native list types, we now have types such as int64List where the 'value' field is not a pointer, but the actual 64-bit value. On 32-bit architectures, this can lead to situations where 'next' field offset in GenericList does not correspond to the 'next' field in the types that we cast to GenericList when using the visit_next_list() interface, causing issues when we attempt to traverse linked list structures of these types. To fix this, pad the 'value' field of GenericList and other schema-defined/native *List types out to 64-bits. This is less memory-efficient for 32-bit architectures, but allows us to continue to rely on list-handling interfaces that target GenericList to simply visitor implementations. In the future we can improve efficiency by defaulting to using native C array backends to handle list of non-pointer types, which would be more memory efficient in itself and allow us to roll back this change.
