We commonly use the error API like this:
err = NULL;
foo(..., &err);
if (err) {
goto out;
}
bar(..., &err);
Every error source is checked separately. The second function is only
called when the first one succeeds. Both functions are free to pass
their argument to error_set(). Because error_set() asserts no error
has been set, this effectively means they must not be called with an
error set.
The qapi-generated code uses the error API differently:
// *errp was initialized to NULL somewhere up the call chain
frob(..., errp);
gnat(..., errp);
Errors accumulate in *errp: first error wins, subsequent errors get
dropped. To make this work, the second function does nothing when
called with an error set. Requires non-null errp, or else the second
function can't see the first one fail.
This usage has also bled into visitor tests, and two device model
object property getters rtc_get_date() and balloon_stats_get_all().
With the "accumulate" technique, you need fewer error checks in
callers, and buy that with an error check in every callee. Can be
nice.
However, mixing the two techniques is confusing. You can't use the
"accumulate" technique with functions designed for the "check
separately" technique. You can use the "check separately" technique
with functions designed for the "accumulate" technique, but then
error_set() can't catch you setting an error more than once.
Standardize on the "check separately" technique for now, because it's
overwhelmingly prevalent.

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.

By default, any union will automatically generate a enum type as

is specified as a pre-defined enum type in schema. After this patch,
the pre-defined enum type will be really used as the switch case
condition in generated C code, if discriminator is an enum field.

Visitors get passed a pointer to the visited object. The generated
visitors try to cope with this pointer being null in some places, for
instance like this:
visit_start_optional(m, obj ? &(*obj)->has_name : NULL, "name", &err);
visit_start_optional() passes its second argument to Visitor method
start_optional. Three out of three methods dereference it
unconditionally.
I fail to see how this pointer could legitimately be null.
All this useless null checking is highly redundant, which Coverity
duly reports. About 200 times.

The discriminator for anonymous unions is the data type. This allows to
have a union type that allows both of these:
{ 'file': 'my_existing_block_device_id' }
{ 'file': { 'filename': '/tmp/mydisk.qcow2', 'read-only': true } }
Unions like this are specified in the schema with an empty dict as
discriminator. For this example you could take:
{ 'union': 'BlockRef',
'discriminator': {},
'data': { 'definition': 'BlockOptions',
'reference': 'str' } }
{ 'type': 'ExampleObject',
'data: { 'file': 'BlockRef' } }

Right now, the semantics of next_list are complicated. The caller must:
* call start_list
* call next_list for each element *including the first*
* on the first call to next_list, the second argument should point to
NULL and the result is the head of the list. On subsequent calls,
the second argument should point to the last node (last result of
next_list) and next_list itself tacks the element at the tail of the
list.
This works for both input and output visitor, but having the visitor
write memory when it is only reading the list is ugly. Plus, relying
on *list to detect the first call is tricky and undocumented.
We can initialize so->entry in next_list instead of start_list, leaving
it NULL in start_list. This way next_list sees clearly whether it is
on the first call---as a bonus, it discriminates the cases based on
internal state of the visitor rather than external state. We can
also pull the assignment of the list head from generated code up to
next_list.

in parallel; this opens up a race, where the second invocation trashes a file
