2015-05-05qapi: Better error messages for bad expressionsEric Blake
The previous commit demonstrated that the generator overlooked some fairly basic broken expressions: - missing metataype - metatype key has a non-string value - unknown key in relation to the metatype - conflicting metatype (this patch treats the second metatype as an unknown key of the first key visited, which is not necessarily the first key the user typed) Add check_keys to cover these situations, and update testcases to match. A couple other tests (enum-missing-data, indented-expr) had to change since the validation added here occurs so early. Conversely, changes to ident-with-escape results show that we still have problems where our handling of escape sequences differs from true JSON, which will matter down the road if we allow arbitrary default string values for optional parameters (but for now is not too bad, as we currently can avoid unicode escaping as we don't need to represent anything beyond C identifier material). While valid .json files won't trigger any of these cases, we might as well be nicer to developers that make a typo while trying to add new QAPI code.

2015-05-05qapi: Use 'alternate' to replace anonymous unionEric Blake
Previous patches have led up to the point where I create the new meta-type "'alternate':'Foo'". See the previous patches for documentation; I intentionally split as much work into earlier patches to minimize the size of this patch, but a lot of it is churn due to testsuite fallout after updating to the new type.

2015-05-05qapi: Segregate anonymous unions into alternates in generatorEric Blake
Special-casing 'discriminator == {}' for handling anonymous unions is getting awkward; since this particular type is not always a dictionary on the wire, it is easier to treat it as a completely different class of type, "alternate", so that if a type is listed in the union_types array, we know it is not an anonymous union. This patch just further segregates union handling, to make sure that anonymous unions are not stored in union_types, and splitting up check_union() into separate functions. A future patch will change the qapi grammar, and having the segregation already in place will make it easier to deal with the distinct meta-type.

2015-05-05qapi: Tighten checking of unionsEric Blake
Previous commits demonstrated that the generator had several flaws with less-than-perfect unions: - a simple union that listed the same branch twice (or two variant names that map to the same C enumerator, including the implicit MAX sentinel) ended up generating invalid C code - an anonymous union that listed two branches with the same qtype ended up generating invalid C code - the generator crashed on anonymous union attempts to use an array type - the generator was silently ignoring a base type for anonymous unions - the generator allowed unknown types or nested anonymous unions as a branch in an anonymous union Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
2015-05-05qapi: Add some union testsEric Blake
Demonstrate that the qapi generator doesn't deal well with unions that aren't up to par. Later patches will update the expected reseults as the generator is made stricter. A few tests work as planned, but most show poor or missing error messages. Of particular note, qapi-code-gen.txt documents 'base' only for flat unions, but the tests here demonstrate that we currently allow a 'base' to a simple union, although it is exercised only in the testsuite. Later patches will remove this undocumented feature, to give us more flexibility in adding other future extensions to union types. For example, one possible extension is the idea of a type-safe simple enum, where added fields tie the discriminator to a user-defined enum type rather than creating an implicit enum from the names in 'data'. But adding such safety on top of a simple enum with a base type could look ambiguous with a flat enum; besides, the documentation also mentions how any simple union can be represented by an equivalent flat union. So it will be simpler to just outlaw support for something we aren't using.
