"make check-qapi-schema" takes around 10s user + system time for me.
With -j, it takes a bit over 3s real time. We have worse tests. It's
still annoying when you work on the QAPI generator.
Some 1.4s user + system time is consumed by make figuring out what to
do, measured by making a target that does nothing. There's nothing I
can do about that right now. But let's see what we can do about the
other 8s.
Almost 7s are spent running test-qapi.py for every test case, the rest
normalizing and diffing test-qapi.py output. We have 190 test cases.
If I downgrade to python2, it's 4.5s, but python2 is a goner.
Hacking up test-qapi.py to exit(0) without doing anything makes it
only marginally faster. The problem is Python startup overhead.
Our configure puts -B into $(PYTHON). Running without -B is faster:
4.4s.
We could improve the Makefile to run test cases only when the test
case or the generator changed. But I'm after improvement in the case
where the generator changed.
test-qapi.py is designed to be the simplest possible building block
for a shell script to do the complete job (it's actually a Makefile,
not a shell script; no real difference). Python is just not meant for
that. It's for bigger blocks.
Move the post-processing and diffing into test-qapi.py, and make it
capable of testing multiple schema files. Set executable bits while
there.
Running it once per test case now takes slightly longer than 8s. But
running it once for all of them takes under 0.2s.
Messing with the Makefile to run it only on the tests that need
retesting is clearly not worth the bother.
Expected error output changes because the new normalization strips off
$(SRCDIR)/tests/qapi-schema/ instead of just $(SRCDIR)/.
The .exit files go away, because there is no exit status to test
anymore.

Turn on the ability to pass command and event arguments in
a single boxed parameter, which must name a non-empty type
(although the type can be a struct with all optional members).
For structs, it makes it possible to pass a single qapi type
instead of a breakout of all struct members (useful if the
arguments are already in a struct or if the number of members
is large); for other complex types, it is now possible to use
a union or alternate as the data for a command or event.
The empty type may be technically feasible if needed down the
road, but it's easier to forbid it now and relax things to allow
it later, than it is to allow it now and have to special case
how the generated 'q_empty' type is handled (see commit 7ce106a9
for reasons why nothing is generated for the empty type). An
alternate type is never considered empty, but now that a boxed
type can be either an object or an alternate, we have to provide
a trivial QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty(). The new call to
arg_type.is_empty() during QAPISchemaCommand.check() requires
that we first check the type in question; but there is no chance
of introducing a cycle since objects do not refer back to commands.
We still have a split in syntax checking between ad-hoc parsing
up front (merely validates that 'boxed' has a sane value) and
during .check() methods (if 'boxed' is set, then 'data' must name
a non-empty user-defined type).
Generated code is unchanged, as long as no client uses the
new feature.
