Several commits have been changing the generator, but not updating
the docs to match:
- The implicit tag member is named "type", not "kind".  Screwed up in
commit 39a18158.
- Commit 9f08c8ec made list types lazy, and thereby dropped
UserDefOneList if nothing explicitly uses the list type.
- Commit 51e72bc1 switched the parameter order with 'name' occurring
earlier.
- Commit e65d89bf changed the layout of UserDefOneList.
- Prefer the term 'member' over 'field'.
- We now expose visit_type_FOO_members() for objects.
- etc.

Rework the examples to show slightly more output (we don't want to
show too much; that's what the testsuite is for), and regenerate the
output to match all recent changes.  Also, rearrange output to show
.h files before .c (understanding the interface first often makes
the implementation easier to follow).

Empty unions serve no purpose, and while we compile with gcc
which permits them, strict C99 forbids them.  We happen to inject
a dummy 'void *data' member into the C unions that represent QAPI
unions and alternates, but we want to get rid of that member (it
pollutes the namespace for no good reason), which would leave us
with an empty union if the user didn't provide any branches.  While
empty structs make sense in QAPI, empty unions don't add any
expressiveness to the QMP language.  So prohibit them at parse
time.  Update the documentation and testsuite to match.

Note that the documentation already mentioned that alternates
should have "two or more JSON data types"; so this also fixes
the code to enforce that.  However, we have existing uses of a
union type with only one branch, so the 2-or-more strictness
is intentionally limited to alternates.

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).

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
28770e05, 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.

Now that we guarantee the user doesn't have any enum values

that the sentinel is generated.

We already documented that qapi names should match specific
patterns (such as starting with a letter unless it was an enum
value or a downstream extension).  Tighten that from a suggestion
into a hard requirement, which frees up names beginning with a
single underscore for qapi internal usage.

The tighter regex doesn't forbid everything insane that a user
could provide (for example, a user could name a type 'Foo-lookup'
to collide with the generated 'Foo_lookup[]' for an enum 'Foo'),
but does a good job at protecting the most obvious uses, and
also happens to reserve single leading underscore for later use.

The handling of enum values starting with a digit is tricky:
commit 9fb081e0 introduced a subtle bug by using c_name() on
a munged value, which would allow an enum to include the
member 'q-int' in spite of our reservation.  Furthermore,
munging with a leading '_' would fail our tighter regex.  So
fix it by only munging for leading digits (which are never
ticklish in c_name()) and by using a different prefix (I
picked 'D', although any letter should do).

Add new tests, reserved-member-underscore and reserved-enum-q,
to demonstrate the tighter checking.

qapi-code-gen.txt already claims that types, commands, and
events share a common namespace; set this in stone by further
documenting that our introspection output will never have
collisions with the same name tied to more than one meta-type.

Our largest QMP enum currently has 125 values, our largest
object type has 27 members, and the mean for each is less than
10.  These sizes are small enough that the per-element overhead
of O(log n) binary searching probably outweighs the speed
possible with direct O(n) linear searching (a better algorithm
with more overhead will only beat a leaner naive algorithm only
as you scale to larger input sizes).

Arguably, the overall SchemaInfo array could be sorted by name;
there, we currently have 531 entities, large enough for a binary
search to be faster than linear.  However, remember that we have
mutually-recursive types, which means there is no topological
ordering that will allow clients to learn all information about
that type in a single linear pass; thus clients will want to do
random access over the data, and they will probably read the
introspection output into a hashtable for O(1) lookup rather
than O(log n) binary searching, at which point, pre-sorting our
introspection output doesn't help the client.

It doesn't help that sorting can be subjective if you introduce
locales into the mix (I'm not experienced enough with Python
to know for sure, but at least it looks like it defaults to
sorting in the C locale even when run under a different locale).
And while our current introspection output is deterministic
(because we visit entities in a sorted order), we may want
to change that order in the future (such as using OrderedDict
to stick to .json declaration order).

For these reasons, we simply document that clients should not
rely on any particular order of items in introspection output.
And since it is now a documented part of the contract, we have
the freedom to later rearrange output if needed, without
worrying about breaking well-written clients.

For the sake of humans reading introspection output, it is nice
to have the name of implicit array types be recognizable as
arrays of the underlying type.  However, while this patch allows
humans to skip from a command with return type "[123]" straight
to the definition of type "123" without having to first inspect
type "[123]", document that this shortcut should not be taken by
client apps.

This makes the resulting introspection string slightly larger by
default (just over 200 bytes), but it's in the noise (less than
0.3% of the overall 70k size of 'query-qmp-capabilities').

c_name() produces names starting with 'q_' when protecting a
dictionary member name that would fail to directly compile, but
in doing so can cause clashes with any member name already
beginning with 'q-' or 'q_'.  Likewise, we create a C name 'has_'
for any optional member that can clash with any member name
beginning with 'has-' or 'has_'.

Technically, rather than blindly reserving the namespace,
we could try to complain about user names only when an actual
collision occurs, or even teach c_name() how to munge names
to avoid collisions.  But it is not trivial, especially when
collisions can occur across multiple types (such as via
inheritance or flat unions).  Besides, no existing .json
files are trying to use these names.  So it's easier to just
outright forbid the potential for collision.  We can always
relax things in the future if a real need arises for QMP to
express member names that have been forbidden here.

'has_' only has to be reserved for struct/union member names,
while 'q_' is reserved everywhere (matching the fact that
only members can be optional, while we use c_name() for munging
both members and entities).  Note that we could relax 'q_'
restrictions on entities independently from member names; for
example, c_name('qmp_' + 'unix') would result in a different
function name than our current 'qmp_' + c_name('unix').

qapi/introspect.json defines the introspection schema.  It's designed
for QMP introspection, but should do for similar uses, such as QGA.

The introspection schema does not reflect all the rules and
restrictions that apply to QAPI schemata.  A valid QAPI schema has an
introspection value conforming to the introspection schema, but the
converse is not true.

Introspection lowers away a number of schema details, and makes
implicit things explicit:

* The built-in types are declared with their JSON type.

  All integer types are mapped to 'int', because how many bits we use
  internally is an implementation detail.  It could be pressed into
  external interface service as very approximate range information,
  but that's a bad idea.  If we need range information, we better do
  it properly.

* Implicit type definitions are made explicit, and given
  auto-generated names:

  - Array types, named by appending "List" to the name of their
    element type, like in generated C.

  - The enumeration types implicitly defined by simple union types,
    named by appending "Kind" to the name of their simple union type,
    like in generated C.

  - Types that don't occur in generated C.  Their names start with ':'
    so they don't clash with the user's names.

* All type references are by name.

* The struct and union types are generalized into an object type.

* Base types are flattened.

* Commands take a single argument and return a single result.

  Dictionary argument or list result is an implicit type definition.

  The empty object type is used when a command takes no arguments or
  produces no results.

  The argument is always of object type, but the introspection schema
  doesn't reflect that.

  The 'gen': false directive is omitted as implementation detail.

  The 'success-response' directive is omitted as well for now, even
  though it's not an implementation detail, because it's not used by
  QMP.

* Events carry a single data value.

  Implicit type definition and empty object type use, just like for
  commands.

  The value is of object type, but the introspection schema doesn't
  reflect that.

* Types not used by commands or events are omitted.

  Indirect use counts as use.

* Optional members have a default, which can only be null right now

  Instead of a mandatory "optional" flag, we have an optional default.
  No default means mandatory, default null means optional without
  default value.  Non-null is available for optional with default
  (possible future extension).

* Clients should *not* look up types by name, because type names are
  not ABI.  Look up the command or event you're interested in, then
  follow the references.

  TODO Should we hide the type names to eliminate the temptation?

New generator scripts/qapi-introspect.py computes an introspection
value for its input, and generates a C variable holding it.

It can generate awfully long lines.  Marked TODO.

A new test-qmp-input-visitor test case feeds its result for both
tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json and qapi-schema.json to a
QmpInputVisitor to verify it actually conforms to the schema.

New QMP command query-qmp-schema takes its return value from that
variable.  Its reply is some 85KiBytes for me right now.

If this turns out to be too much, we have a couple of options:

* We can use shorter names in the JSON.  Not the QMP style.

* Optionally return the sub-schema for commands and events given as
  arguments.

  Right now qmp_query_schema() sends the string literal computed by
  qmp-introspect.py.  To compute sub-schema at run time, we'd have to
  duplicate parts of qapi-introspect.py in C.  Unattractive.

* Let clients cache the output of query-qmp-schema.

  It changes only on QEMU upgrades, i.e. rarely.  Provide a command
  query-qmp-schema-hash.  Clients can have a cache indexed by hash,
  and re-query the schema only when they don't have it cached.  Even
  simpler: put the hash in the QMP greeting.

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.

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.

A command's or event's 'data' must be a struct type, given either as a
dictionary, or as struct type name.

Commit dd883c6f tightened the checking there, but not enough: we still
accept 'union'.  Fix to reject it.

We may want to support union types there, but we'll have to extend
qapi-commands.py and qapi-events.py for it.

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.  Now that the
generator accepts 'struct' as a synonym for 'type', update all
documentation to use saner wording.

The next patch will quit special-casing "'union':'Foo',
'discriminator':{}" and instead use "'alternate':'Foo'".

Separating docs from implementation makes it easier to focus
on wording without holding up code.  In particular, making
alternate a separate type makes for a nice type hierarchy:

          /-------- meta-type ------\
         /              |            \
    simple types    alternate     complex types
    |         |                   |           |
 built-in   enum             type(struct)   union
 |       \    /                            /    \
numeric  string                         simple  flat

A later patch will then clean up 'type' vs. 'struct'
confusion.

While our top-level COPYING with its GPLv2+ license applies to
any documentation file that omits explicit instructions, these
days it's better to be a good example of calling out our
intentions.  Correct use of GPL requires the use of a copyright
statement, so I'm adding notice to two QAPI documents, by
attributing these files to the initial authors and major
contributors.  I used:

$ git blame --line-porcelain $file \
  | sed -n 's/^author //p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

to determine authorship of these two files.  qmp-spec.txt blames
entirely to Red Hat (easy, since my contribution falls in that
category); while qapi-code-gen.txt has multiple contributors
representing multiple entities.  But since it was originally
supplied by Michael Roth, the notice I added there copies the
notice he has used in other files.  As there is no intended
change in license from the implicit one previously present from
the top level, I have not bothered to CC other contributors;
if we want to weaken things to something looser (such as LGPL)
so that there is no question that someone re-implementing the
spec is not forced to use GPL, that would be a different commit.
