We generally put implicitly defined types in whatever module triggered
their definition. This is wrong for array types, as the included test
case demonstrates. Let's have a closer look at it.
Type 'Status' is defined sub-sub-module.json. Array type ['Status']
occurs in main module qapi-schema-test.json and in
include/sub-module.json. The main module's use is first, so the array
type gets put into the main module.
The generated C headers define StatusList in qapi-types.h. But
include/qapi-types-sub-module.h uses it without including
qapi-types.h. Oops.
To fix that, put the array type into its element type's module.
Now StatusList gets generated into qapi-types-sub-module.h, which all
its users include.

We neglect to call .visit_module() for the special module we use for
built-ins. Harmless, but clean it up anyway. The
tests/qapi-schema/*.out now show the built-in module as 'module None'.
Subclasses of QAPISchemaModularCVisitor need to ._add_module() this
special module to enable code generation for built-ins. When this
hasn't been done, QAPISchemaModularCVisitor.visit_module() does
nothing for the special module. That looks like built-ins could
accidentally be generated into the wrong module when a subclass
neglects to call ._add_module(). Can't happen, because built-ins are
all visited before any other module. But that's non-obvious. Switch
off code generation explicitly.
Rename QAPISchemaModularCVisitor._begin_module() to
._begin_user_module().
New QAPISchemaModularCVisitor._is_builtin_module(), for clarity.

It often happens that just a few discriminator values imply extra data in
a flat union. Existing checks did not make possible to leave other values
uncovered. Such cases had to be worked around by either stating a dummy

Both options create redundant entities in qapi files for little profit.
With this patch it is not necessary anymore to add designated union
fields for every possible value of a discriminator enumeration.

New entity QAPISchemaInclude represents inclusions. Call new visitor

Note that unlike other entities, QAPISchemaInclude has no name, and is

Alternates are sum types like unions, but use the JSON type on the
wire / QType in QObject instead of an explicit tag. That's why we
require alternate members to have distinct QTypes.
The recently introduced keyval_parse() (commit d454dbe) can only
produce string scalars. The qobject_input_visitor_new_keyval() input
visitor mostly hides the difference, so code using a QObject input
visitor doesn't have to care whether its input was parsed from JSON or
KEY=VALUE,... The difference leaks for alternates, as noted in commit
0ee9ae7: a non-string, non-enum scalar alternate value can't currently
be expressed.
In part, this is just our insufficiently sophisticated implementation.
Consider alternate type 'GuestFileWhence'. It has an integer member
and a 'QGASeek' member. The latter is an enumeration with values
'set', 'cur', 'end'. The meaning of b=set, b=cur, b=end, b=0, b=1 and
so forth is perfectly obvious. However, our current implementation
falls apart at run time for b=0, b=1, and so forth. Fixable, but not
today; add a test case and a TODO comment.
Now consider an alternate type with a string and an integer member.
What's the meaning of a=42? Is it the string "42" or the integer 42?
Whichever meaning you pick makes the other inexpressible. This isn't
just an implementation problem, it's fundamental. Our current
implementation will pick string.
So far, we haven't needed such alternates. To make sure we stop and
think before we add one that cannot sanely work with keyval_parse(),
let's require alternate members to have sufficiently distinct
representation in KEY=VALUE,... syntax:
* A string member clashes with any other scalar member
* An enumeration member clashes with bool members when it has value
'on' or 'off'.
* An enumeration member clashes with numeric members when it has a
value that starts with '-', '+', or a decimal digit. This is a
rather lazy approximation of the actual number syntax accepted by
the visitor.
Note that enumeration values starting with '-' and '+' are rejected
elsewhere already, but better safe than sorry.

# Since: version
# Notes: notes, comments can have
# - itemized list
# - like this
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "quit" }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
##
That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar:
api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n"
comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment
freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" }
symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment }
member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
text = free text with markup
Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed
both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment. The actual parser
recognizes symbol_comment.
See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details.
Deficiencies and limitations:
- the generated QMP documentation includes internal types
- union type support is lacking
- type information is lacking in generated documentation
- doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point
to the beginning of the comment.
- a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code

[test-qapi.py tweaked to avoid trailing empty lines in .out]
Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
Turn on the ability to pass command and event arguments in
a single boxed parameter, which must name a non-empty type
(although the type can be a struct with all optional members).
For structs, it makes it possible to pass a single qapi type
instead of a breakout of all struct members (useful if the
arguments are already in a struct or if the number of members
is large); for other complex types, it is now possible to use
a union or alternate as the data for a command or event.
The empty type may be technically feasible if needed down the
road, but it's easier to forbid it now and relax things to allow
it later, than it is to allow it now and have to special case
how the generated 'q_empty' type is handled (see commit 7ce106a9
for reasons why nothing is generated for the empty type). An
alternate type is never considered empty, but now that a boxed
type can be either an object or an alternate, we have to provide
a trivial QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty(). The new call to
arg_type.is_empty() during QAPISchemaCommand.check() requires
that we first check the type in question; but there is no chance
of introducing a cycle since objects do not refer back to commands.
We still have a split in syntax checking between ad-hoc parsing
up front (merely validates that 'boxed' has a sane value) and
during .check() methods (if 'boxed' is set, then 'data' must name
a non-empty user-defined type).
Generated code is unchanged, as long as no client uses the
new feature.

[Test files renamed to *-boxed-*]
Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
The next patch will add support for passing a qapi union type
as the 'data' of a command. But to do that, the user function
for implementing the command, as called by the generated
marshal command, must take the corresponding C struct as a
single boxed pointer, rather than a breakdown into one
parameter per member. Even without a union, being able to use
a C struct rather than a list of parameters can make it much
easier to handle coding with QAPI.
This patch adds the internal plumbing of a 'boxed' flag
associated with each command and event. In several cases,
this means adding indentation, with one new dead branch and
the remaining branch being the original code more deeply
nested; this was done so that the new implementation in the
next patch is easier to review without also being mixed with
indentation changes.
For this patch, no behavior or generated output changes, other
than the testsuite outputting the value of the new flag
(always False for now).
