Eric Blake 0b2e84ba77 qapi-types: Drop unnedeed ._fwdefn
Previously, the generated code in qapi-types.c initialized all
enum lookup tables first, prior to any other definitions.  But
there are no topological sorting requirements that mandate this
layout, so we can drop the QAPISchemaGenTypeVisitor._fwdefn
field and just generate all definitions in visitation order.

The generated code shows some churn due to reordering, but it
is still fairly straightforward to follow (all the deletions
occur in one hunk, and all the deleted lines are re-inserted
in the same order later in the same files, just spread across
multiple insertion points).

Eric Blake 0426d53c65 qapi: Simplify visiting of alternate types
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).

Eric Blake 7264f5c50c qapi: Convert QType into QAPI built-in enum type
What's more meta than using qapi to define qapi? :)

Convert QType into a full-fledged[*] builtin qapi enum type, so
that a subsequent patch can then use it as the discriminator
type of qapi alternate types.  Fortunately, the judicious use of
'prefix' in the qapi definition avoids churn to the spelling of
the enum constants.

To avoid circular definitions, we have to flip the order of
inclusion between "qobject.h" vs. "qapi-types.h".  Back in commit
28770e0, we had the latter include the former, so that we could
use 'QObject *' for our implementation of 'any'.  But that usage
also works with only a forward declaration, whereas the
definition of QObject requires QType to be a complete type.

[*] The type has to be builtin, rather than declared in
qapi/common.json, because we want to use it for alternates even
when common.json is not included. But since it is the first
builtin enum type, we have to add special cases to qapi-types
and qapi-visit to only emit definitions once, even when two
qapi files are being compiled into the same binary (the way we
already handled builtin list types like 'intList').  We may
need to revisit how multiple qapi files share common types,
but that's a project for another day.

Eric Blake 570cd8d119 qapi-types: Consolidate gen_struct() and gen_union()
These two methods are now close enough that we can finally merge
them, relying on the fact that simple unions now provide a
reasonable local_members.  Change gen_struct() to gen_object()
that handles all forms of QAPISchemaObjectType, and rename and
shrink gen_union() to gen_variants() to handle the portion of
gen_object() needed when variants are present.

gen_struct_fields() now has a single caller, so it no longer
needs an optional parameter; however, I did not choose to inline
it into the caller.

No difference to generated code.

Eric Blake da34a9bd99 qapi: Track simple union tag in object.local_members
We were previously creating all unions with an empty list for
local_members.  However, it will make it easier to unify struct
and union generation if we include the generated tag member in
local_members.  That way, we can have a common code pattern:
visit the base (if any), visit the local members (if any), visit
the variants (if any).  The local_members of a flat union
remains empty (because the discriminator is already visited as
part of the base).  Then, by visiting tag_member.check() during
AlternateType.check(), we no longer need to call it during
Variants.check().

The various front end entities now exist as follows:
struct: optional base, optional local_members, no variants
simple union: no base, one-element local_members, variants with tag_member
  from local_members
flat union: base, no local_members, variants with tag_member from base
alternate: no base, no local_members, variants

With the new local members, we require a bit of finesse to
avoid assertions in the clients.

No change to generated code.

Eric Blake e4ba22b319 qapi: Finish converting to new qapi union layout
We have two issues with our qapi union layout:
1) Even though the QMP wire format spells the tag 'type', the
C code spells it 'kind', requiring some hacks in the generator.
2) The C struct uses an anonymous union, which places all tag
values in the same namespace as all non-variant members. This
leads to spurious collisions if a tag value matches a non-variant
member's name.

This patch is the back end for a series that converts to a
saner qapi union layout.  Now that all clients have been
converted to use 'type' and 'obj->u.value', we can drop the
temporary parallel support for 'kind' and 'obj->value'.

Given a simple union qapi type:

{ 'union':'Foo', 'data': { 'a':'int', 'b':'bool' } }

this is the overall effect, when compared to the state before
this series of patches:

| struct Foo {
|-    FooKind kind;
|-    union { /* union tag is @kind */
|+    FooKind type;
|+    union { /* union tag is @type */
|         void *data;
|         int64_t a;
|         bool b;
|-    };
|+    } u;
| };

The testsuite still contains some examples of artificial restrictions
(see flat-union-clash-type.json, for example) that are no longer
technically necessary, now that there is no longer a collision between
enum tag values and non-variant member names; but fixing this will be
done in later patches, in part because some further changes are required
to keep QAPISchema*.check() from asserting.  Also, a later patch will
add a reservation for the member name 'u' to avoid a collision between a
user's non-variant names and our internal choice of C union name.

Note, however, that we do not rename the generated enum, which
is still 'FooKind'.  A further patch could generate implicit
enums as 'FooType', but while the generator already reserved
the '*Kind' namespace (commit 4dc2e69), there are already QMP
constructs with '*Type' naming, which means changing our
reservation namespace would have lots of churn to C code to
deal with a forced name change.

Eric Blake f51d8fab44 qapi: Start converting to new qapi union layout
We have two issues with our qapi union layout:
1) Even though the QMP wire format spells the tag 'type', the
C code spells it 'kind', requiring some hacks in the generator.
2) The C struct uses an anonymous union, which places all tag
values in the same namespace as all non-variant members. This
leads to spurious collisions if a tag value matches a non-variant
member's name.

This patch is the front end for a series that converts to a
saner qapi union layout.  By the end of the series, we will no
longer have the type/kind mismatch, and all tag values will be
under a named union, which requires clients to access
'obj->u.value' instead of 'obj->value'.  But since the
conversion touches a number of files, it is easiest if we
temporarily support BOTH layouts simultaneously.

Given a simple union qapi type:

{ 'union':'Foo', 'data': { 'a':'int', 'b':'bool' } }

make the following changes in generated qapi-types.h:

| struct Foo {
|-    FooKind kind;
|-    union { /* union tag is @kind */
|+    union {
|+        FooKind kind;
|+        FooKind type;
|+    };
|+    union { /* union tag is @type */
|         void *data;
|         int64_t a;
|         bool b;
|+        union { /* union tag is @type */
|+            void *data;
|+            int64_t a;
|+            bool b;
|+        } u;
|     };
| };

Flat unions do not need the anonymous union for the tag member,
as we already fixed that to use the member name instead of 'kind'
back in commit 0f61af3e.

One additional change is needed in qapi.py: check_union() now
needs to check for collisions with 'type' in addition to those
with 'kind'.

Later, when the conversions are complete, we will remove the
duplication hacks, and also drop the check_union() restrictions.

Note, however, that we do not rename the generated enum, which
is still 'FooKind'.  A further patch could generate implicit
enums as 'FooType', but while the generator already reserved
the '*Kind' namespace (commit 4dc2e69), there are already QMP
constructs with '*Type' naming, which means changing our
reservation namespace would have lots of churn to C code to
deal with a forced name change.

Eric Blake ddf2190896 qapi: Unbox base members
Rather than storing a base class as a pointer to a box, just
store the fields of that base class in the same order, so that
a child struct can be directly cast to its parent.  This gives
less malloc overhead, less pointer dereferencing, and even less
generated code.  Compare to the earlier commit 1e6c1616a "qapi:
Generate a nicer struct for flat unions" (although that patch
had fewer places to change, as less of qemu was directly using
qapi structs for flat unions).  It also allows us to turn on
automatic type-safe wrappers for upcasting to the base class
of a struct.

Changes to the generated code look like this in qapi-types.h:

| struct SpiceChannel {
|-    SpiceBasicInfo *base;
|+    /* Members inherited from SpiceBasicInfo: */
|+    char *host;
|+    char *port;
|+    NetworkAddressFamily family;
|+    /* Own members: */
|     int64_t connection_id;

as well as additional upcast functions like qapi_SpiceChannel_base().
Meanwhile, changes to qapi-visit.c look like:

| static void visit_type_SpiceChannel_fields(Visitor *v, SpiceChannel **obj, Error **errp)
| {
|     Error *err = NULL;
|
|-    visit_type_implicit_SpiceBasicInfo(v, &(*obj)->base, &err);
|+    visit_type_SpiceBasicInfo_fields(v, (SpiceBasicInfo **)obj, &err);
|     if (err) {

(the cast is necessary, since our upcast wrappers only deal with a
single pointer, not pointer-to-pointer); plus the wholesale
elimination of some now-unused visit_type_implicit_FOO() functions.

Without boxing, the corner case of one empty struct having
another empty struct as its base type now requires inserting a
dummy member (previously, the 'Base *base' member sufficed).

And now that we no longer consume a 'base' member in the generated
C struct, we can delete the former negative struct-base-clash-base
test.

Eric Blake 30594fe1cd qapi: Prefer typesafe upcasts to qapi base classes
A previous patch (commit 1e6c1616) made it possible to
directly cast from a qapi flat union type to its base type.
However, it requires the use of a C cast, which turns off
compiler type-safety checks.  Fortunately, no such casts
exist, just yet.

Regardless, add inline type-safe wrappers named
qapi_FOO_base() for any union type FOO that has a base,
which can be used for a safer upcast, and enhance the
testsuite to cover the new functionality.

A future patch will extend the upcast support to structs,
where such conversions do exist already.

Note that C makes const-correct upcasts annoying because
it lacks overloads; these functions cast away const so that
they can accept user pointers whether const or not, and the
result in turn can be assigned to normal or const pointers.
Alternatively, this could have been done with macros, but
type-safe macros are hairy, and not worthwhile here.

This patch just adds upcasts.  None of our code needed to
downcast from a base qapi class to a child.  Also, in the
case of grandchildren (such as BlockdevOptionsQcow2), the
caller will need to call two functions to get to the inner
base (although it wouldn't be too hard to generate a
qapi_FOO_base_base() if desired).  If a user changes qapi
to alter the base class hierarchy, such as going from
'A -> C' to 'A -> B -> C', it will change the type of
'qapi_C_base()', and the compiler will point out the places
that are affected by the new base.

One alternative was proposed, but was deemed too ugly to use
in practice: the generators could output redundant
information using anonymous types:
| struct Child {
|     union {
|         struct {
|             Type1 parent_member1;
|             Type2 parent_member2;
|         };
|         Parent base;
|     };
| };
With that ugly proposal, for a given qapi type, obj->member
and obj->base.member would refer to the same storage; allowing
convenience in working with members without needing 'base.'
allowing typesafe upcast without needing a C cast by accessing
'&obj->base', and allowing downcasts from the parent back to
the child possible through container_of(obj, Child, base).

Eric Blake 49823c4b43 qapi: Don't use info as witness of implicit object type
A future patch will enable error reporting from the various
QAPISchema*.check() methods.  But to report an error related
to an implicit type, we'll need to associate a location with
the type (the same location as the top-level entity that is
causing the creation of the implicit type), and once we do
that, keying off of whether foo.info exists is no longer a
viable way to determine if foo is an implicit type.

Instead, add an is_implicit() method to QAPISchemaEntity, and use it.
It can be overridden later for ObjectType and EnumType, when implicit
instances of those classes gain info.

Eric Blake 25a0d9c977 qapi: Use predicate callback to determine visit filtering
Previously, qapi-types and qapi-visit filtered out implicit
objects during visit_object_type() by using 'info' (works since
implicit objects do not [yet] have associated info); meanwhile
qapi-introspect filtered out all schema types on the first pass
by returning a python type from visit_begin(), which was then
used at a distance in QAPISchema.visit() to do the filtering.

Rather than keeping these ad hoc approaches, add a new visitor
callback visit_needed() which returns False to skip a given
entity, and which defaults to True unless overridden.  Use the
new mechanism to simplify all three filtering visitors.

Markus Armbruster 2b162ccbe8 qapi-types: Convert to QAPISchemaVisitor, fixing flat unions
Fixes flat unions to get the base's base members.  Test case is from
commit 2fc0043, in qapi-schema-test.json:

    { 'union': 'UserDefFlatUnion',
      'base': 'UserDefUnionBase',
      'discriminator': 'enum1',

             UserDefB *value2;
             UserDefB *value3;
         };
     };

Flat union visitors remain broken.  They'll be fixed next.

Code is generated in a different order now, but that doesn't matter.

The two guards QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN_STRUCT_DECL and
QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN_CLEANUP_DECL are replaced by just
QAPI_TYPES_BUILTIN.

Two ugly special cases for simple unions now stand out like sore
thumbs:

1. The type tag is named 'type' everywhere, except in generated C,
   where it's 'kind'.

2. QAPISchema lowers simple unions to semantically equivalent flat
   unions.  However, the C generated for a simple unions differs from
   the C generated for its equivalent flat union, and we therefore
   need special code to preserve that pointless difference for now.

Mark both TODO.

Markus Armbruster ac88219a6c qapi: New QAPISchema intermediate reperesentation
The QAPI code generators work with a syntax tree (nested dictionaries)
plus a few symbol tables (also dictionaries) on the side.

They have clearly outgrown these simple data structures.  There's lots
of rummaging around in dictionaries, and information is recomputed on
the fly.  For the work I'm going to do, I want more clearly defined
and more convenient interfaces.

Going forward, I also want less coupling between the back-ends and the
syntax tree, to make messing with the syntax easier.

Create a bunch of classes to represent QAPI schemata.

Have the QAPISchema initializer call the parser, then walk the syntax
tree to create the new internal representation, and finally perform
semantic analysis.

Shortcut: the semantic analysis still relies on existing check_exprs()
to do the actual semantic checking.  All this code needs to move into
the classes.  Mark as TODO.

Simple unions are lowered to flat unions.  Flat unions and structs are
represented as a more general object type.

Catching name collisions in generated code would be nice.  Mark as
TODO.

We generate array types eagerly, even though most of them aren't used.
Mark as TODO.

Nothing uses the new intermediate representation just yet, thus no
change to generated files.

Daniel P. Berrange 351d36e454 qapi: allow override of default enum prefix naming
The camel_to_upper() method applies some heuristics to turn
a mixed case type name into an all-uppercase name. This is
used for example, to generate enum constant name prefixes.

The heuristics don't also generate a satisfactory name
though. eg

  { 'enum': 'QCryptoTLSCredsEndpoint',
    'data': ['client', 'server']}

Results in Q_CRYPTOTLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT_CLIENT. This has
an undesirable _ after the initial Q and is missing an
_ between the CRYPTO & TLS strings.

Rather than try to add more and more heuristics to try
to cope with this, simply allow the QAPI schema to
specify the desired enum constant prefix explicitly.

eg

  { 'enum': 'QCryptoTLSCredsEndpoint',
    'prefix': 'QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT',
    'data': ['client', 'server']}

Now gives the QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT_CLIENT name.

Markus Armbruster 1e6c1616a9 qapi: Generate a nicer struct for flat unions
The struct generated for a flat union is weird: the members of its
base are at the end, except for the union tag, which is at the
beginning.

Example: qapi-schema-test.json has

    { 'struct': 'UserDefUnionBase',
      'data': { 'string': 'str', 'enum1': 'EnumOne' } }

    { 'union': 'UserDefFlatUnion',
      'base': 'UserDefUnionBase',
      'discriminator': 'enum1',
      'data': { 'value1' : 'UserDefA',
                'value2' : 'UserDefB',
                'value3' : 'UserDefB' } }

We generate:

    struct UserDefFlatUnion
    {
        EnumOne enum1;
        union {
            void *data;
            UserDefA *value1;
            UserDefB *value2;
            UserDefB *value3;
        };
        char *string;
    };

Change to put all base members at the beginning, unadulterated.  Not
only is this easier to understand, it also permits casting the flat
union to its base, if that should become useful.

We now generate:

    struct UserDefFlatUnion
    {
        /* Members inherited from UserDefUnionBase: */
        char *string;
        EnumOne enum1;
        /* Own members: */
        union { /* union tag is @enum1 */
            void *data;
            UserDefA *value1;
            UserDefB *value2;
            UserDefB *value3;
        };

Example, adapted from qapi-schema-test.json:

        union {
            void *data;
            UserDefA *value1;

            UserDefB *value3;
        };
        char *kind;
    };

Kill the silly rename.

Eric Blake fd41dd4eae qapi: Prefer 'struct' over 'type' in generator
Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union,
alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the
schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing.  The confusion
is only made worse by the fact that the generator mostly already
refers to struct even when dealing with expr['type'].  This
commit changes the generator to consistently refer to it as
struct everywhere, plus a single back-compat tweak that allows
accepting the existing .json files as-is, so that the meat of
this change is separate from the mindless churn of that change.

Fix the testsuite fallout for error messages that change, and
in some cases, become more legible.  Improve comments to better
match our intentions where a struct (rather than any complex
type) is required.  Note that in some cases, an error message
now refers to 'struct' while the schema still refers to 'type';
that will be cleaned up in the later commit to the schema.

Eric Blake 811d04fd0c qapi: Segregate anonymous unions into alternates in generator
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.

Michael S. Tsirkin 912ae9c886 qapi-types: add C99 index names to arrays
It's not easy to figure out how monitor translates
strings: most QEMU code deals with translated indexes,
these are translated using _lookup arrays,
so you need to find the array name, and find the
appropriate offset.

This patch adds C99 indexes to lookup arrays, which makes it possible to
find the correct key using simple grep, and see that the matching is
correct at a glance.

Example:

Before:

const char *MigrationCapability_lookup[] = {
    "xbzrle",
    "rdma-pin-all",
    "auto-converge",
    "zero-blocks",
    NULL,
};

After:

const char *MigrationCapability_lookup[] = {
    [MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_XBZRLE] = "xbzrle",
    [MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_RDMA_PIN_ALL] = "rdma-pin-all",
    [MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_AUTO_CONVERGE] = "auto-converge",
    [MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_ZERO_BLOCKS] = "zero-blocks",
    [MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_MAX] = NULL,

It also avoids an incompatibility with C++ (where an empty struct is

Generated empty structures look like this:

This silences clang warnings like:
