The classical way to structure parser and lexer is to have the client
call the parser to get an abstract syntax tree, the parser call the
lexer to get the next token, and the lexer call some function to get
input characters.
Another way to structure them would be to have the client feed
characters to the lexer, the lexer feed tokens to the parser, and the
parser feed abstract syntax trees to some callback provided by the
client. This way is more easily integrated into an event loop that
dispatches input characters as they arrive.
Our JSON parser is kind of between the two. The lexer feeds tokens to
a "streamer" instead of a real parser. The streamer accumulates
tokens until it got the sequence of tokens that comprise a single JSON
value (it counts curly braces and square brackets to decide). It
feeds those token sequences to a callback provided by the client. The
callback passes each token sequence to the parser, and gets back an
abstract syntax tree.
I figure it was done that way to make a straightforward recursive
descent parser possible. "Get next token" becomes "pop the first
token off the token sequence". Drawback: we need to store a complete
token sequence. Each token eats 13 + input characters + malloc
overhead bytes.
Observations:
1. This is not the only way to use recursive descent. If we replaced
"get next token" by a coroutine yield, we could do without a
streamer.
2. The lexer reports errors by passing a JSON_ERROR token to the
streamer. This communicates the offending input characters and
their location, but no more.
3. The streamer reports errors by passing a null token sequence to the
callback. The (already poor) lexical error information is thrown
away.
4. Having the callback receive a token sequence duplicates the code to
convert token sequence to abstract syntax tree in every callback.
5. Known bug: the streamer silently drops incomplete token sequences.
This commit rectifies 4. by lifting the call of the parser from the
callbacks into the streamer. Later commits will address 3. and 5.
The lifting removes a bug from qjson.c's parse_json(): it passed a
pointer to a non-null Error * in certain cases, as demonstrated by
check-qjson.c.
json_parser_parse() is now unused. It's a stupid wrapper around
json_parser_parse_err(). Drop it, and rename json_parser_parse_err()
to json_parser_parse().

Its rationale for letting it fail is that all remaining users cope
fine with failure. Well, they're just fine with aborting, too; it's
what they do on failure.
Simply reverting the broken commit would bring back the unfortunate

The qobject_from_jsonf() function implements a pseudo-printf
language for creating a QObject; however, it is hard-coded to
only parse a subset of formats understood by -Wformat, and is
not a straight synonym to bare printf(). In particular, any
use of an int64_t integer works only if the system's
definition of PRId64 matches what the parser expects; which
works on glibc (%lld or %ld depending on 32- vs. 64-bit) and
mingw (%I64d), but not on Mac OS (%qd). Rather than enhance
the parser, it is just as easy to force the use of int (where
the value is small enough) or long long instead of int64_t,
which we know always works.
This should cover all remaining testsuite uses of
qobject_from_json[fv]() that were trying to rely on PRId64,
although my proof for that was done by adding in asserts and
checking that 'make check' still passed, where such asserts
are inappropriate during hard freeze. A later series in 2.9
may remove all dynamic JSON parsing, but that's a bigger task.

We document that in QMP, the client may send any json-value
for the optional "id" key, and then return that same value
on reply (both success and failures, insofar as the failure
happened after parsing the id). [Note that the output may
not be identical to the input, as whitespace may change and
since we may reorder keys within a json-object, but that this
still constitutes the same json-value]. However, we were not
handling the JSON literal null, which counts as a json-value
per RFC 7159.
Also, down the road, given the QAPI schema of {'*foo':'str'} or
{'*foo':'ComplexType'}, we could decide to allow the QMP client
to pass { "foo":null } instead of the current representation of
{ } where omitting the key is the only way to get at the default
NULL value. Such a change might be useful for argument
introspection (if a type in older qemu lacks 'foo' altogether,
then an explicit "foo":null probe will force an easily
distinguished error message for whether the optional "foo" key
is even understood in newer qemu). And if we add default values
to optional arguments, allowing an explicit null would be
required for getting a NULL value associated with an optional
string that has a non-null default. But all that can come at a
later day.
The 'check-unit' testsuite is enhanced to test that parsing
produces the same object as explicitly requesting a reference
to the special qnull object. In addition, I tested with:

* One-byte sequences with the MSB are put into the JSON string
verbatim when char is unsigned, producing invalid UTF-8. When char
is signed, they're replaced by "\\uFFFF" instead.
This includes \xFE, \xFF, and stray continuation bytes.
* Overlong sequences are happily accepted, unless screwed up by the
bugs above.
* Likewise, sequences encoding surrogate code points or noncharacters.
* Unlike other control characters, ASCII DEL is not escaped. Except
in overlong encodings.
My rewrite fixes them as follows:
* Malformed UTF-8 sequences are replaced.
Except the overlong encoding \xC0\x80 of U+0000 is still accepted.
Permits embedding NUL characters in C strings. This trick is known
as "Modified UTF-8".
* Sequences encoding code points beyond Unicode range are replaced.
* Sequences encoding code points beyond the BMP produce a surrogate
pair.
* Sequences encoding surrogate code points are replaced.
* Sequences encoding noncharacters are replaced.
* ASCII DEL is now always escaped.
The replacement character is U+FFFD.

Test cases cover the two noncharacters in the BMP. Add tests for the
other 64 noncharacters.
Three existing test cases involve noncharacters U+FFFF and U+10FFFF.
Instead of deleting them as now duplicates, adjust them to use U+FFFC
and U+10FFFFD.
