The semantics of the list visit are somewhat baroque, with the
following pseudocode when FooList is used:
start()
for (prev = head; cur = next(prev); prev = &cur) {
visit(&cur->value)
}
Note that these semantics (advance before visit) requires that
the first call to next() return the list head, while all other
calls return the next element of the list; that is, every visitor
implementation is required to track extra state to decide whether
to return the input as-is, or to advance. It also requires an
argument of 'GenericList **' to next(), solely because the first
iteration might need to modify the caller's GenericList head, so
that all other calls have to do a layer of dereferencing.
Thankfully, we only have two uses of list visits in the entire
code base: one in spapr_drc (which completely avoids
visit_next_list(), feeding in integers from a different source
than uint8List), and one in qapi-visit.py. That is, all other
list visitors are generated in qapi-visit.c, and share the same
paradigm based on a qapi FooList type, so we can refactor how
lists are laid out with minimal churn among clients.
We can greatly simplify things by hoisting the special case
into the start() routine, and flipping the order in the loop
to visit before advance:
start(head)
for (tail = *head; tail; tail = next(tail)) {
visit(&tail->value)
}
With the simpler semantics, visitors have less state to track,
the argument to next() is reduced to 'GenericList *', and it
also becomes obvious whether an input visitor is allocating a
FooList during visit_start_list() (rather than the old way of
not knowing if an allocation happened until the first
visit_next_list()). As a minor drawback, we now allocate in
two functions instead of one, and have to pass the size to
both functions (unless we were to tweak the input visitors to
cache the size to start_list for reuse during next_list, but
that defeats the goal of less visitor state).
The signature of visit_start_list() is chosen to match
visit_start_struct(), with the new parameters after 'name'.
The spapr_drc case is a virtual visit, done by passing NULL for
list, similarly to how NULL is passed to visit_start_struct()
when a qapi type is not used in those visits. It was easy to
provide these semantics for qmp-output and dealloc visitors,
and a bit harder for qmp-input (several prerequisite patches
refactored things to make this patch straightforward). But it
turned out that the string and opts visitors munge enough other
state during visit_next_list() to make it easier to just
document and require a GenericList visit for now; an assertion
will remind us to adjust things if we need the semantics in the
future.
Several pre-requisite cleanup patches made the reshuffling of
the various visitors easier; particularly the qmp input visitor.

As mentioned in previous patches, we want to call visit_end_struct()
functions unconditionally, so that visitors can release resources
tied up since the matching visit_start_struct() without also having
to worry about error priority if more than one error occurs.
Even though error_propagate() can be safely used to ignore a second
error during cleanup caused by a first error, it is simpler if the
cleanup cannot set an error. So, split out the error checking
portion (basically, input visitors checking for unvisited keys) into
a new function visit_check_struct(), which can be safely skipped if
any earlier errors are encountered, and leave the cleanup portion
(which never fails, but must be called unconditionally if
visit_start_struct() succeeded) in visit_end_struct().

Our existing input visitors were not very consistent on errors in a
function taking 'TYPE **obj'. These are start_struct(),
start_alternate(), type_str(), and type_any(). next_list() is
similar, but can't fail (see commit 08f9541). While all of them set
'*obj' to allocated storage on success, it was not obvious whether
'*obj' was guaranteed safe on failure, or whether it was left
uninitialized. But a future patch wants to guarantee that
visit_type_FOO() does not leak a partially-constructed obj back to
the caller; it is easier to implement this if we can reliably state
that input visitors assign '*obj' regardless of success or failure,
and that on failure *obj is NULL. Add assertions to enforce
consistency in the final setting of err vs. *obj.
The opts-visitor start_struct() doesn't set an error, but it
also was doing a weird check for 0 size; all callers pass in
non-zero size if obj is non-NULL.
The testsuite has at least one spot where we no longer need
to pre-initialize a variable prior to a visit; valgrind confirms
that the test is still fine with the cleanup.
A later patch will document the design constraint implemented
here.

We have three classes of QAPI visitors: input, output, and dealloc.
Currently, all implementations of these visitors have one thing in
common based on their visitor type: the implementation used for the
visit_type_enum() callback. But since we plan to add more such
common behavior, in relation to documenting and further refining
the semantics, it makes more sense to have the visitor
implementations advertise which class they belong to, so the common
qapi-visit-core code can use that information in multiple places.
A later patch will better document the types of visitors directly
in visitor.h.
For this patch, knowing the class of a visitor implementation lets
us make input_type_enum() and output_type_enum() become static
functions, by replacing the callback function Visitor.type_enum()
with the simpler enum member Visitor.type. Share a common
assertion in qapi-visit-core as part of the refactoring.
Move comments in opts-visitor.c to match the refactored layout.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

By sticking the next pointer first, we don't need a union with
64-bit padding for smaller types. On 32-bit platforms, this
can reduce the size of uint8List from 16 bytes (or 12, depending
on whether 64-bit ints can tolerate 4-byte alignment) down to 8.
It has no effect on 64-bit platforms (where alignment still
dictates a 16-byte struct); but fewer anonymous unions is still
a win in my book.
It requires visit_next_list() to gain a size parameter, to know
what size element to allocate; comparable to the size parameter
of visit_start_struct().
I debated about going one step further, to allow for fewer casts,
by doing:
typedef GenericList GenericList;
struct GenericList {
GenericList *next;
};
struct FooList {
GenericList base;
Foo *value;
};
so that you convert to 'GenericList *' by '&foolist->base', and
back by 'container_of(generic, GenericList, base)' (as opposed to
the existing '(GenericList *)foolist' and '(FooList *)generic').
But doing that would require hoisting the declaration of
GenericList prior to inclusion of qapi-types.h, rather than its
current spot in visitor.h; it also makes iteration a bit more
verbose through 'foolist->base.next' instead of 'foolist->next'.
Note that for lists of objects, the 'value' payload is still
hidden behind a boxed pointer. Someday, it would be nice to do:
struct FooList {
FooList *next;
Foo value;
};
for one less level of malloc for each list element. This patch
is a step in that direction (now that 'next' is no longer at a
fixed non-zero offset within the struct, we can store more than
just a pointer's-worth of data as the value payload), but the
actual conversion would be a task for another series, as it will
touch a lot of code.

When reporting that an unvisited member remains at the end of an
input visit for a struct, we were using g_hash_table_find()
coupled with a callback function that always returns true, to
locate an arbitrary member of the hash table. But if all we
need is an arbitrary entry, we can get that from a single-use
iterator, without needing a tautological callback function.
Technically, our cast of &(GQueue *) to (void **) is not strict
C (while void * must be able to hold all other pointers, nothing
says a void ** has to be the same width or representation as a
GQueue **). The kosher way to write it would be the verbose:
void *tmp;
GQueue *any;
if (g_hash_table_iter_next(&iter, NULL, &tmp)) {
any = tmp;
But our code base (not to mention glib itself) already has other
cases of assuming that ALL pointers have the same width and
representation, where a compiler would have to go out of its way
to mis-compile our borderline behavior.

No backend was setting an error when ending the visit of a list or
implicit struct, or when moving to the next list node. Make the
callers a bit easier to follow by making this a part of the contract,
and removing the errp argument - callers can then unconditionally end
an object as part of cleanup without having to think about whether a
second error is dominated by a first, because there is no second
error.
A later patch will then tackle the larger task of splitting
visit_end_struct(), which can indeed set an error.

visit_start_struct() and visit_type_enum() had a 'kind' argument
that was usually set to either the stringized version of the
corresponding qapi type name, or to NULL (although some clients
didn't even get that right). But nothing ever used the argument.
It's even hard to argue that it would be useful in a debugger,
as a stack backtrace also tells which type is being visited.
Therefore, drop the 'kind' argument as dead.

As explained in the previous patches, matching argument order of
'name, &value' to JSON's "name":value makes sense. However,
while the last two patches were easy with Coccinelle, I ended up
doing this one all by hand. Now all the visitor callbacks match
the main interface.
The compiler is able to enforce that all clients match the changed
interface in visitor-impl.h, even where two pointers are being
swapped, because only one of the two pointers is const (if that
were not the case, then C's looseness on treating 'char *' like
'void *' would have made review a bit harder).

The qapi builtin type 'int' is basically shorthand for the type
'int64'. In fact, since no visitor was providing the optional
type_int64() callback, visit_type_int64() was just always falling
back to type_int(), cementing the equivalence between the types.
However, some visitors are providing a type_uint64() callback.
For purposes of code consistency, it is nicer if all visitors
use the paired type_int64/type_uint64 names rather than the
mismatched type_int/type_uint64. So this patch just renames
the signed int callbacks in place, dropping the type_int()
callback as redundant, and a later patch will focus on the
unsigned int callbacks.
Add some FIXMEs to questionable reuse of errp in code touched
by the rename, while at it (the reuse works as long as the
callbacks don't modify value when setting an error, but it's not
a good example to set) - a later patch will then fix those.
No change in functionality here, although further cleanups are
in the pipeline.

The macro DO_UPCAST() is incorrectly named: it converts from a
parent class to a derived class (which is a downcast). Better,
and more consistent with some of the other qapi visitors, is
to use the container_of() macro through a to_FOO() helper. Names
like 'to_ov()' may be a bit short, but for a static helper it
doesn't hurt too much, and matches existing practice in files
like qmp-input-visitor.c.
Our current definition of container_of() is weaker than
DO_UPCAST(), in that it does not require the derived class to
have Visitor as its first member, but this does not hurt our
usage patterns in qapi visitors.

Semantics of end_optional() differ subtly from the other end_FOO()
callbacks: when start_FOO() succeeds, the matching end_FOO() gets
called regardless of what happens in between. end_optional() gets
called only when everything in between succeeds as well. Entirely
undocumented, like all of the visitor API.
The only user of Visitor Callback end_optional() never did anything,
and was removed in commit 9f9ab46.
I'm about to clean up error handling in the generated visitor code,
and end_optional() is in my way. No users mean no test cases, and
making non-trivial cleanup transformations without test cases doesn't
strike me as a good idea.
Drop end_optional(), and rename start_optional() to optional(). We
can always go back to a pair of callbacks when we have an actual need.

The "type" optarg name is fixed for the discriminator role. Its schema
representation is "union of structures", and each discriminator value must
correspond to a member name in the union.
If the option takes no "type" descriminator, then the type subtree rooted
at the union must be absent from the schema (including the union itself).
Optarg values can be of scalar types str / bool / integers / size.
Members marked with [*] may be defined as optional in the schema,
describing an optional optarg.
Repeating an optarg is supported; its schema representation must be "list
of structure with single mandatory scalar member". If an optarg is not
described as repeating in the schema (ie. it is defined as a scalar field
instead of a list), its last occurrence will take effect. Ordering between
differently named optargs is not preserved.
A mandatory list (or an optional one which is reported to be available),
corresponding to a repeating optarg, has at least one element after
successful parsing.
v1->v2:
- Update opts_type_size() prototype to uint64_t.
- Add opts_type_uint64() for options needing the full uint64_t range.
(Internals could be extracted to "cutils.c".)
- Allow negative values in opts_type_int().
- Rebase to nested Makefiles.
v2->v3:
- Factor opts_visitor_insert() out of opts_start_struct() and call it
separately for opts_root->id if there's any.
- Don't require non-negative values in opts_type_int()'s error message.
- g_malloc0() may return NULL for zero-sized requests. Support empty
structures by requesting 1 byte for them instead.
