Right now, our ad hoc parser ensures that we cannot have a
flat union that introduces any members that would clash with
non-variant members inherited from the union's base type (see
flat-union-clash-member.json). We want QAPISchemaObjectType.check()
to make the same check, so we can later reduce some of the ad
hoc checks.
We already have a map 'seen' of all non-variant members. We
still need to check for collisions between each variant type's
members and the non-variant ones.
To know the variant type's members, we need to call
variant.type.check(). This also detects when a type contains
itself in a variant, exactly like the existing base.check()
detects when a type contains itself as a base. (Except that
we currently forbid anything but a struct as the type of a
variant, so we can't actually trigger this type of loop yet.)
Slight complication: an alternate's variant can have arbitrary
type, but only an object type's check() may be called outside
QAPISchema.check(). We could either skip the call for variants
of alternates, or skip it for non-object types. For now, do
the latter, because it's easier.
Then we call each variant member's check_clash() with the
appropriate 'seen' map. Since members of different variants
can't clash, we have to clone a fresh seen for each variant.
Wrap this in a new helper method
QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariants.check_clash().
Note that cloning 'seen' inside .check_clash() resembles
the one we just removed from .check() in 'qapi: Drop
obsolete tag value collision assertions'; the difference here is
that we are now checking for clashes among the qapi members of
the variant type, rather than for a single clash with the variant
tag name itself.
Note that, by construction, collisions can't actually happen for
simple unions: each variant's type is a wrapper with a single
member 'data', which will never collide with the only non-variant
member 'type'.
For alternates, there's nothing for a variant object type's
members to clash with, and therefore no need to call the new
variants.check_clash().
No change to generated code.

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Complete details of the process for building and configuring QEMU for
all supported host platforms can be found in the qemu-tech.html file.
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Linux

Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
