Right now, qmp-output-visitor happens to produce a QNull result if nothing is actually visited between the creation of the visitor and the request for the resulting QObject. A stronger protocol would require that a QMP output visit MUST visit something. But to still be able to produce a JSON 'null' output, we need a new visitor function that states our intentions. Yes, we could say that such a visit must go through visit_type_any(), but that feels clunky. So this patch introduces the new visit_type_null() interface and its no-op interface in the dealloc visitor, and stubs in the qmp visitors (the next patch will finish the implementation). For the visitors that will not implement the callback, document the situation. The code in qapi-visit-core unconditionally dereferences the callback pointer, so that a segfault will inform a developer if they need to implement the callback for their choice of visitor. Note that JSON has a primitive null type, with the single value null; likewise with the QNull type for QObject; but for QAPI, we just have the 'null' value without a null type. We may eventually want to add more support in QAPI for null (most likely, we'd use it via an alternate type that permits 'null' or an object); but we'll create that usage when we need it.

/*
|
|
* The QAPI schema defines both a set of C data types, and a QMP wire
|
|
* format. QAPI objects can contain references to other QAPI objects,
|
|
* resulting in a directed acyclic graph. QAPI also generates visitor
|
|
* functions to walk these graphs. This file represents the interface
|
|
* for doing work at each node of a QAPI graph; it can also be used
|
|
* for a virtual walk, where there is no actual QAPI C struct.
|
|
*
|
|
* There are three kinds of visitor classes: input visitors (QMP,
|
|
* string, and QemuOpts) parse an external representation and build
|
|
* the corresponding QAPI graph, output visitors (QMP and string) take
|
|
* a completed QAPI graph and generate an external representation, and
|
|
* the dealloc visitor can take a QAPI graph (possibly partially
|
|
* constructed) and recursively free its resources. While the dealloc
|
|
* and QMP input/output visitors are general, the string and QemuOpts
|
|
* visitors have some implementation limitations; see the
|
|
* documentation for each visitor for more details on what it
|
|
* supports. Also, see visitor-impl.h for the callback contracts
|
|
* implemented by each visitor, and docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more
|
|
* about the QAPI code generator.
|
|
*
|
|
* All QAPI types have a corresponding function with a signature
|
|
* roughly compatible with this:
|
|
*
|
|
* void visit_type_FOO(Visitor *v, const char *name, T obj, Error **errp);
|
|
*
|
|
* where T is FOO for scalar types, and FOO * otherwise. The scalar
|
|
* visitors are declared here; the remaining visitors are generated in
|
|
* qapi-visit.h.
|
|
*
|
|
* The @name parameter of visit_type_FOO() describes the relation
|
|
* between this QAPI value and its parent container. When visiting
|
|
* the root of a tree, @name is ignored; when visiting a member of an
|
|
* object, @name is the key associated with the value; and when
|
|
* visiting a member of a list, @name is NULL.
|
|
*
|
|
* FIXME: Clients must pass NULL for @name when visiting a member of a
|
|
* list, but this leads to poor error messages; it might be nicer to
|
|
* require a non-NULL name such as "key.0" for '{ "key": [ "value" ]
|
|
* }' if an error is encountered on "value" (or to have the visitor
|
|
* core auto-generate the nicer name).
|
|
*
|
|
* The visit_type_FOO() functions expect a non-null @obj argument;
|
|
* they allocate *@obj during input visits, leave it unchanged on
|
|
* output visits, and recursively free any resources during a dealloc
|
|
* visit. Each function also takes the customary @errp argument (see
|
|
* qapi/error.h for details), for reporting any errors (such as if a
|
|
* member @name is not present, or is present but not the specified
|
|
* type).
|
|
*
|
|
* FIXME: At present, visit_type_FOO() is an awkward interface: input
|
|
* visitors may allocate an incomplete *@obj even when reporting an
|
|
* error, but using an output visitor with an incomplete object has
|
|
* undefined behavior. To avoid a memory leak, callers must use
|
|
* qapi_free_FOO() even on error (this uses the dealloc visitor, and
|
|
* safely handles an incomplete object).
|
|
*
|
|
* For the QAPI object types (structs, unions, and alternates), there
|
|
* is an additional generated function in qapi-visit.h compatible
|
|
* with:
|
|
*
|
|
* void visit_type_FOO_members(Visitor *v, FOO *obj, Error **errp);
|
|
*
|
|
* for visiting the members of a type without also allocating the QAPI
|
|
* struct.
|
|
*
|
|
* Additionally, in qapi-types.h, all QAPI pointer types (structs,
|
|
* unions, alternates, and lists) have a generated function compatible
|
|
* with:
|
|
*
|
|
* void qapi_free_FOO(FOO *obj);
|
|
*
|
|
* which behaves like free() in that @obj may be NULL. Because of
|
|
* these functions, the dealloc visitor is seldom used directly
|
|
* outside of generated code. QAPI types can also inherit from a base
|
|
* class; when this happens, a function is generated for easily going
|
|
* from the derived type to the base type:
|
|
*
|
|
* BASE *qapi_CHILD_base(CHILD *obj);
|
|
*
|
|
* For a real QAPI struct, typical input usage involves:
|
|
*
|
|
* <example>
|
|
* Foo *f;
|
|
* Error *err = NULL;
|
|
* Visitor *v;
|
|
*
|
|
* v = ...obtain input visitor...
|
|
* visit_type_Foo(v, NULL, &f, &err);
|
|
* if (err) {
|
|
* qapi_free_Foo(f);
|
|
* ...handle error...
|
|
* } else {
|
|
* ...use f...
|
|
* }
|
|
* ...clean up v...
|
|
* qapi_free_Foo(f);
|
|
* </example>
|
|
*
|
|
* For a list, it is:
|
|
* <example>
|
|
* FooList *l;
|
|
* Error *err = NULL;
|
|
* Visitor *v;
|
|
*
|
|
* v = ...obtain input visitor...
|
|
* visit_type_FooList(v, NULL, &l, &err);
|
|
* if (err) {
|
|
* qapi_free_FooList(l);
|
|
* ...handle error...
|
|
* } else {
|
|
* for ( ; l; l = l->next) {
|
|
* ...use l->value...
|
|
* }
|
|
* }
|
|
* ...clean up v...
|
|
* qapi_free_FooList(l);
|
|
* </example>
|
|
*
|
|
* Similarly, typical output usage is:
|
|
*
|
|
* <example>
|
|
* Foo *f = ...obtain populated object...
|
|
* Error *err = NULL;
|
|
* Visitor *v;
|
|
*
|
|
* v = ...obtain output visitor...
|
|
* visit_type_Foo(v, NULL, &f, &err);
|
|
* if (err) {
|
|
* ...handle error...
|
|
* }
|
|
* ...clean up v...
|
|
* </example>
|
|
*
|
|
* When visiting a real QAPI struct, this file provides several
|
|
* helpers that rely on in-tree information to control the walk:
|
|
* visit_optional() for the 'has_member' field associated with
|
|
* optional 'member' in the C struct; and visit_next_list() for
|
|
* advancing through a FooList linked list. Only the generated
|
|
* visit_type functions need to use these helpers.
|
|
*
|
|
* It is also possible to use the visitors to do a virtual walk, where
|
|
* no actual QAPI struct is present. In this situation, decisions
|
|
* about what needs to be walked are made by the calling code, and
|
|
* structured visits are split between pairs of start and end methods
|
|
* (where the end method must be called if the start function
|
|
* succeeded, even if an intermediate visit encounters an error).
|
|
* Thus, a virtual walk corresponding to '{ "list": [1, 2] }' looks
|
|
* like:
|
|
*
|
|
* <example>
|
|
* Visitor *v;
|
|
* Error *err = NULL;
|
|
* int value;
|
|
*
|
|
* v = ...obtain visitor...
|
|
* visit_start_struct(v, NULL, NULL, 0, &err);
|
|
* if (err) {
|
|
* goto out;
|
|
* }
|
|
* visit_start_list(v, "list", &err);
|
|
* if (err) {
|
|
* goto outobj;
|
|
* }
|
|
* value = 1;
|
|
* visit_type_int(v, NULL, &value, &err);
|
|
* if (err) {
|
|
* goto outlist;
|
|
* }
|
|
* value = 2;
|
|
* visit_type_int(v, NULL, &value, &err);
|
|
* if (err) {
|
|
* goto outlist;
|
|
* }
|
|
* outlist:
|
|
* visit_end_list(v);
|
|
* outobj:
|
|
* error_propagate(errp, err);
|
|
* err = NULL;
|
|
* visit_end_struct(v, &err);
|
|
* out:
|
|
* error_propagate(errp, err);
|
|
* ...clean up v...
|
|
* </example>
