Markus Armbruster 5710153e73 qapi: Replace dirty is_c_ptr() by method c_null()
is_c_ptr() looks whether the end of the C text for the type looks like
a pointer.  Works, but is fragile.

We now have a better tool: use QAPISchemaType method c_null().  The
initializers for non-pointers become prettier: 0, false or the
enumeration constant with the value 0 instead of {0}.

Markus Armbruster efd2eaa6c2 qapi: De-duplicate enum code generation
Duplicated in commit 21cd70d.  Yes, we can't import qapi-types, but
that's no excuse.  Move the helpers from qapi-types.py to qapi.py, and
replace the duplicates in qapi-event.py.

The generated event enumeration type's lookup table becomes
const-correct (see commit 2e4450f), and uses explicit indexes instead
of relying on order (see commit 912ae9c).

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',
      'data': { 'value1' : 'UserDefA',
                'value2' : 'UserDefB',
                'value3' : 'UserDefB' } }

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

    { 'struct': 'UserDefZero',
      'data': { 'integer': 'int' } }

Patch's effect on UserDefFlatUnion:

     struct UserDefFlatUnion {
         /* Members inherited from UserDefUnionBase: */
    +    int64_t integer;
         char *string;
         EnumOne enum1;
         /* Own members: */
         union { /* union tag is @enum1 */
             void *data;
             UserDefA *value1;
             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 eddf817bd8 qapi: Simplify error reporting for array types
check_type() first checks and peels off the array type, then checks
the element type.  For two out of four error messages, it takes pains
to report errors for "array of T" instead of just T.  Odd.  Let's
examine the errors.

* Unknown element type, e.g.
  tests/qapi-schema/args-array-unknown.json:

      Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type
      'array of NoSuchType'

  To make sense of this, you need to know that 'array of NoSuchType'
  refers to '[NoSuchType]'.  Easy enough.  However, simply reporting

      Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type
      'NoSuchType'

  is at least as easy to understand.

* Element type's meta-type is inadmissible, e.g.
  tests/qapi-schema/returns-whitelist.json:

      'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot
      use built-in type 'array of int'

  'array of int' is technically not a built-in type, but that's
  pedantry.  However, simply reporting

      'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot
      use built-in type 'int'

  avoids the issue, and is at least as easy to understand.

* The remaining two errors are unreachable, because the array checking
  ensures that value is a string.

Thus, reporting some errors for "array of T" instead of just T works,
but doesn't really improve things.  Drop it.

We use triple-quoted strings for program text, like this:

Keeps the program text relatively readable, but puts an extra newline
at either end.  mcgen() "fixes" that by dropping the first and last

Eric Blake c6405b54b7 qapi: Make c_type() consistently convert qapi names
Continuing the string of cleanups for supporting downstream names
containing '.', this patch focuses on ensuring c_type() can
handle a downstream name.  This patch alone does not fix the
places where generator output should be calling this function
but was open-coding things instead, but it gets us a step closer.

In particular, the changes to c_list_type() and type_name() mean
that type_name(FOO) now handles the case when FOO contains '.',
'-', or is a ticklish identifier other than a builtin (builtins
are exempted because ['int'] must remain mapped to 'intList' and
not 'q_intList').  Meanwhile, ['unix'] now maps to 'q_unixList'
rather than 'unixList', to match the fact that 'unix' is ticklish;
however, our naming conventions state that complex types should
start with a capital, so no type name following conventions will
ever have the 'q_' prepended.

Likewise, changes to c_type() mean that c_type(FOO) properly
handles an enum or complex type FOO with '.' or '-' in the
name, or is a ticklish identifier (again, a ticklish identifier
as a type name violates conventions).

Which QAPI names get passed to c_fun(), to c_var(), or to both is not
obvious.  Names of command parameters and struct type members get
passed to c_var().

c_var() strips a leading '*', but this cannot happen.  c_fun()
doesn't.

Fix c_var() to work exactly like c_fun().

Perhaps they should be replaced by a single mapping function.

Eric Blake ff55d72eaf qapi: Check for member name conflicts with a base class
Our type inheritance for both 'struct' and for flat 'union' merges
key/value pairs from the base class with those from the type in
question.  Although the C code currently boxes things so that there
is a distinction between which member is referred to, the QMP wire
format does not allow passing a key more than once in a single
object.  Besides, if we ever change the generated C code to not be
quite so boxy, we'd want to avoid duplicate member names there,
too.

Fix a testsuite entry added in an earlier patch, as well as adding
a couple more tests to ensure we have appropriate coverage.  Ensure
that collisions are detected, regardless of whether there is a
difference in opinion on whether the member name is optional.

Eric Blake a7f5966b29 qapi: Support (subset of) \u escapes in strings
The handling of \ inside QAPI strings was less than ideal, and
really only worked JSON's \/, \\, \", and our extension of \'
(an obvious extension, when you realize we use '' instead of ""
for strings).  For other things, like '\n', it resulted in a
literal 'n' instead of a newline.

Of course, at the moment, we really have no use for escaped
characters, as QAPI has to map to C identifiers, and we currently
support ASCII only for that.  But down the road, we may add
support for default values for string parameters to a command
or struct; if that happens, it would be nice to correctly support
all JSON escape sequences, such as \n or \uXXXX.  This gets us
closer, by supporting Unicode escapes in the ASCII range.

Since JSON does not require \OCTAL or \xXX escapes, and our QMP
implementation does not understand them either, I intentionally
reject it here, but it would be an easy addition if we desired it.
Likewise, intentionally refusing the NUL byte means we don't have
to worry about C strings being shorter than the qapi input.

Eric Blake 6b5abc7df7 qapi: Drop support for inline nested types
A future patch will be using a 'name':{dictionary} entry in the
QAPI schema to specify a default value for an optional argument
(see previous commit messages for more details why); but existing
use of inline nested structs conflicts with that goal. Now that
all commands have been changed to avoid inline nested structs,
nuke support for them, and turn it into a hard error. Update the
testsuite to reflect tighter parsing rules.

Eric Blake 3e391d3556 qapi: Forbid 'type' in schema
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.  Finish up the
conversion to using "struct" in qapi schema by removing the hack
in the generator that allowed 'type'.

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 2cbf09925a qapi: More rigorous checking for type safety bypass
Now that we have a way to validate every type, we can also be
stricter about enforcing that callers that want to bypass
type safety in generated code.  Prior to this patch, it didn't
matter what value was associated with the key 'gen', but it
looked odd that 'gen':'yes' could result in bypassing the
generated code.  These changes also enforce the changes made
earlier in the series for documentation and consolidation of
using '**' as the wildcard type, as well as 'gen':false as the
canonical spelling for requesting type bypass.

Note that 'gen':false is a one-way switch away from the default;
we do not support 'gen':true (similar for 'success-response').
In practice, this doesn't matter.

Eric Blake 10d4d997f8 qapi: Whitelist commands that don't return dictionary
...or an array of dictionaries.  Although we have to cater to
existing commands, returning a non-dictionary means the command
is not extensible (no new name/value pairs can be added if more
information must be returned in parallel).  By making the
whitelist explicit, any new command that falls foul of this
practice will have to be self-documenting, which will encourage
developers to either justify the action or rework the design to
use a dictionary after all.

It's a little bit sloppy that we share a single whitelist among
three clients (it's too permissive for each).  If this is a
problem, a future patch could tighten things by having the
generator take the whitelist as an argument (as in
scripts/qapi-commands.py --legacy-returns=...), or by having
the generator output C code that requires explicit use of the
whitelist (as in:
 #ifndef FROBNICATE_LEGACY_RETURN_OK
 # error Command 'frobnicate' should return a dictionary
 #endif
then having the callers define appropriate macros).  But until
we need such fine-grained separation (if ever), this patch does
the job just fine.
