2014-05-15qapi: Replace uncommon use of the error API by the common oneMarkus Armbruster
We commonly use the error API like this: err = NULL; foo(..., &err); if (err) { goto out; } bar(..., &err); Every error source is checked separately. The second function is only called when the first one succeeds. Both functions are free to pass their argument to error_set(). Because error_set() asserts no error has been set, this effectively means they must not be called with an error set. The qapi-generated code uses the error API differently: // *errp was initialized to NULL somewhere up the call chain frob(..., errp); gnat(..., errp); Errors accumulate in *errp: first error wins, subsequent errors get dropped. To make this work, the second function does nothing when called with an error set. Requires non-null errp, or else the second function can't see the first one fail. This usage has also bled into visitor tests, and two device model object property getters rtc_get_date() and balloon_stats_get_all(). With the "accumulate" technique, you need fewer error checks in callers, and buy that with an error check in every callee. Can be nice. However, mixing the two techniques is confusing. You can't use the "accumulate" technique with functions designed for the "check separately" technique. You can use the "check separately" technique with functions designed for the "accumulate" technique, but then error_set() can't catch you setting an error more than once. Standardize on the "check separately" technique for now, because it's overwhelmingly prevalent.

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.

2013-07-29qapi: make visit_type_size fallback to type_intVasilis Liaskovitis
Currently visit_type_size checks if the visitor's type_size function pointer is NULL. If not, it calls it, otherwise it calls v->type_uint64(). But neither of these pointers are ever set. Fallback to calling v->type_int() in this third (default) case.

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>
2013-07-26qapi: Add visitor for implicit structsKevin Wolf
These can be used when an embedded struct is parsed and members not belonging to the struct may be present in the input (e.g. parsing a flat namespace QMP union, where fields from both the base and one of the alternative types are mixed in the JSON object) Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

Don't overwrite / leak previously set errors. Make traversal cope with missing mandatory sub-structs. Don't try to end a container that could not be started. v1->v2: - unchanged v2->v3: - instead of examining, assert that we never overwrite errors with error_set() - allow visitors to set a NULL struct pointer successfully, so traversal of incomplete objects can continue - check for a NULL "obj" before accessing "(*obj)->has_XXX" (this is not a typo, "obj != NULL" implies "*obj != NULL" here) - fix start_struct / end_struct balance for unions as well Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This adds visitor interfaces for fixed-width integers types.

2011-07-21qapi: add QAPI visitor coreMichael Roth
Base definitions/includes for Visiter interface used by generated visiter/marshalling code. Includes a GenericList type. Our lists require an embedded element. Since these types are generated, if you want to use them in a different type of data structure, there's no easy way to add another embedded element. The solution is to have non-embedded lists and that what this is. Signed-off-by: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@gmail.com>
