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.

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.

A future patch will be using a 'name':{dictionary} entry in the
QAPI schema to specify a default value for an optional argument;
but existing use of inline nested structs conflicts with that goal.
More precisely, a definition in the QAPI schema associates a name
with a set of properties:
Example 1: { 'struct': 'Foo', 'data': { MEMBERS... } }
associates the global name 'Foo' with properties (meta-type struct)
and MEMBERS...
Example 2: 'mumble': TYPE
within MEMBERS... above associates 'mumble' with properties (type
TYPE) and (optional false) within type Foo
The syntax of example 1 is extensible; if we need another property,
we add another name/value pair to the dictionary (such as
'base':TYPE). The syntax of example 2 is not extensible, because
the right hand side can only be a type.
We have used name encoding to add a property: "'*mumble': 'int'"
associates 'mumble' with (type int) and (optional true). Nice,
but doesn't scale. So the solution is to change our existing uses
to be syntactic sugar to an extensible form:
NAME: TYPE --> NAME: { 'type': TYPE, 'optional': false }
*ONAME: TYPE --> ONAME: { 'type': TYPE, 'optional': true }
This patch fixes the testsuite to avoid inline nested types, by
breaking the nesting into explicit types; it means that the type
is now boxed instead of unboxed in C code, but makes no difference
on the wire (and if desired, a later patch could change the
generator to not do so much boxing in C). When touching code to
add new allocations, also convert existing allocations to
consistently prefer typesafe g_new0 over g_malloc0 when a type
name is involved.

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.

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').

...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.

Previous commits demonstrated that the generator overlooked various
bad naming situations:
- types, commands, and events need a valid name
- enum members must be valid names, when combined with prefix
- union and alternate branches cannot be marked optional
Valid upstream names match [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*; valid downstream
names match __[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*. Enumerations match the
weaker [a-zA-Z0-9._-]+ (in part thanks to QKeyCode picking an enum
that starts with a digit, which we can't change now due to
backwards compatibility). Rather than call out three separate
regex, this patch just uses a broader combination that allows both
upstream and downstream names, as well as a small hack that
realizes that any enum name is merely a suffix to an already valid
name prefix (that is, any enum name is valid if prepending _ fits
the normal rules).
We could reject new enumeration names beginning with a digit by
whitelisting existing exceptions. We could also be stricter
about the distinction between upstream names (no leading
underscore, no use of dot) and downstream (mandatory leading
double underscore), but it is probably not worth the bother.

Most of the new tests focus on blatant errors. But
returns-whitelist is a case where we have historically allowed
returning something other than a JSON object from particular
commands; we have to keep that behavior to avoid breaking clients,
but it would be nicer to avoid adding such commands in the future,
because any return that is not an (array of) object cannot be
easily extended if future qemu wants to return additional
information. The QMP protocol already documents that clients

For a few QMP commands, we are forced to pass an arbitrary type
without tracking it properly in QAPI. Among the existing clients,
this unnamed type was spelled 'dict', 'visitor', and '**'; this
patch standardizes on '**', matching the documentation changes
earlier in the series.
Meanwhile, for the 'gen' key, we have been ignoring the value,
although the schema consistently used "'no'" ('success-response'
was hard-coded to checking for 'no'). But now that we can support
a literal "false" in the schema, we might as well use that rather
than ignoring the value or special-casing a random string. Note
that these are one-way switches (use of 'gen':true is not the same
as omitting 'gen'). Also, the use of '**' requires 'gen':false,
but the use of 'gen':false does not mandate the use of '**'.
There is no difference to the generated code. Add some tests on
what we'd like to guarantee, although it will take later patches
to clean up test results and actually enforce the use of a bool
parameter.

- redeclaration of a type name, whether by the same or different

- redeclaration of a command or event
- collision of a type with implicit 'Kind' enum for a union
- collision with an implicit MAX enum constant
Since the c_type() function in the generator treats all names
as being in the same namespace, this patch adds a global array
to track all known names and their source, to prevent collisions
before it can cause further problems. While valid .json files

The previous commit demonstrated that the generator overlooked some

- missing metataype
- metatype key has a non-string value
- unknown key in relation to the metatype
- conflicting metatype (this patch treats the second metatype as an
unknown key of the first key visited, which is not necessarily the
first key the user typed)
Add check_keys to cover these situations, and update testcases to
match. A couple other tests (enum-missing-data, indented-expr) had
to change since the validation added here occurs so early.
Conversely, changes to ident-with-escape results show that we still
have problems where our handling of escape sequences differs from
true JSON, which will matter down the road if we allow arbitrary
default string values for optional parameters (but for now is not
too bad, as we currently can avoid unicode escaping as we don't
need to represent anything beyond C identifier material).

dictionary on the wire, it is easier to treat it as a completely
different class of type, "alternate", so that if a type is listed
in the union_types array, we know it is not an anonymous union.
This patch just further segregates union handling, to make sure that
anonymous unions are not stored in union_types, and splitting up
check_union() into separate functions. A future patch will change
the qapi grammar, and having the segregation already in place will
make it easier to deal with the distinct meta-type.

This patch widens the scope of a try block (with the attending
reindentation required by Python) in preparation for a future
patch adding more instances of QAPIExprError inside the block.
It's easier to separate indentation from semantic changes, so
this patch has no real behavior change.

Previous commits demonstrated that the generator had several
flaws with less-than-perfect unions:
- a simple union that listed the same branch twice (or two variant
names that map to the same C enumerator, including the implicit
MAX sentinel) ended up generating invalid C code
- an anonymous union that listed two branches with the same qtype
ended up generating invalid C code
- the generator crashed on anonymous union attempts to use an
array type
- the generator was silently ignoring a base type for anonymous
unions
- the generator allowed unknown types or nested anonymous unions
as a branch in an anonymous union

None of the existing QMP or QGA interfaces uses a union with a
base type but no discriminator; it is easier to avoid this in the
generator to save room for other future extensions more likely to
be useful. An earlier commit added a union-base-no-discriminator
test to ensure that we eventually give a decent error message;
likewise, removing UserDefUnion outright is okay, because we moved
all the tests we wish to keep into the tests of the simple union
UserDefNativeListUnion in the previous commit. Now is the time to
actually forbid simple union with base, and remove the last
vestiges from the testsuite.

The tests of UserDefNativeListUnion serve to validate code
generation of simple unions without a base type, except that it
did not have full coverage in the strict test. The next commits
will remove tests and support for simple unions with a base type,
so there is no real loss at repurposing that test here as
opposed to churn of adding a new test then deleting the old one.
Fix some indentation and long lines while at it.

Demonstrate that the qapi generator doesn't deal well with unions
that aren't up to par. Later patches will update the expected
reseults as the generator is made stricter. A few tests work
as planned, but most show poor or missing error messages.
Of particular note, qapi-code-gen.txt documents 'base' only for
flat unions, but the tests here demonstrate that we currently allow
a 'base' to a simple union, although it is exercised only in the
testsuite. Later patches will remove this undocumented feature, to
give us more flexibility in adding other future extensions to union
types. For example, one possible extension is the idea of a
type-safe simple enum, where added fields tie the discriminator to
a user-defined enum type rather than creating an implicit enum from
the names in 'data'. But adding such safety on top of a simple
enum with a base type could look ambiguous with a flat enum;
besides, the documentation also mentions how any simple union can
be represented by an equivalent flat union. So it will be simpler
to just outlaw support for something we aren't using.

The previous commit demonstrated that the generator had several
flaws with less-than-perfect enums:
- an enum that listed the same string twice (or two variant
strings that map to the same C enumerator) ended up generating
an invalid C enum
- because the generator adds a _MAX terminator to each enum,
the use of an enum member 'max' can also cause this clash
- if an enum omits 'data', the generator left a python stack
trace rather than a graceful message
- an enum that used a non-array 'data' was silently accepted by
the parser
- an enum that used non-string members in the 'data' member
was silently accepted by the parser
Add check_enum to cover these situations, and update testcases
to match. While valid .json files won't trigger any of these
cases, we might as well be nicer to developers that make a typo
while trying to add new QAPI code.

Python 2 and Python 3 have a wild history of whether strings
default to ascii or unicode, where Python 3 requires checking
isinstance(foo, basestr) to cover all strings, but where that
code is not portable to Python 2. It's simpler to just state
that we don't care about Unicode strings, and to just always
use the simpler isinstance(foo, str) everywhere.
I'm no python expert, so I'm basing it on this conversation:
