QAPI objects can contain references to other QAPI objects, * resulting in a directed acyclic graph. QAPI also generates visitor * functions to walk these graphs. This file represents the interface * for doing work at each node of a QAPI graph; it can also be used * for a virtual walk, where there is no actual QAPI C struct. * * There are four kinds of visitor classes: input visitors (QMP, * string, and QemuOpts) parse an external representation and build * the corresponding QAPI graph, output visitors (QMP and string) take * a completed QAPI graph and generate an external representation, the * dealloc visitor can take a QAPI graph (possibly partially * constructed) and recursively free its resources, and the clone * visitor performs a deep clone of one QAPI object to another. While * the dealloc and QMP input/output visitors are general, the string, * QemuOpts, and clone visitors have some implementation limitations; * see the documentation for each visitor for more details on what it * supports. Also, see visitor-impl.h for the callback contracts * implemented by each visitor, and docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more * about the QAPI code generator. * * All of the visitors are created via: * * Visitor *subtype_visitor_new(parameters...); * * A visitor should be used for exactly one top-level visit_type_FOO() * or virtual walk; if that is successful, the caller can optionally * call visit_complete() (for now, useful only for output visits, but * safe to call on all visits). Then, regardless of success or * failure, the user should call visit_free() to clean up resources. * It is okay to free the visitor without completing the visit, if * some other error is detected in the meantime. * * All QAPI types have a corresponding function with a signature * roughly compatible with this: * * void visit_type_FOO(Visitor *v, const char *name, T obj, Error **errp); * * where T is FOO for scalar types, and FOO * otherwise. The scalar * visitors are declared here; the remaining visitors are generated in * qapi-visit.h. * * The @name parameter of visit_type_FOO() describes the relation * between this QAPI value and its parent container. When visiting * the root of a tree, @name is ignored; when visiting a member of an * object, @name is the key associated with the value; when visiting a * member of a list, @name is NULL; and when visiting the member of an * alternate, @name should equal the name used for visiting the * alternate. * * The visit_type_FOO() functions expect a non-null @obj argument; * they allocate *@obj during input visits, leave it unchanged on * output visits, and recursively free any resources during a dealloc * visit. Each function also takes the customary @errp argument (see * qapi/error.h for details), for reporting any errors (such as if a * member @name is not present, or is present but not the specified * type). * * If an error is detected during visit_type_FOO() with an input * visitor, then *@obj will be NULL for pointer types, and left * unchanged for scalar types. Using an output or clone visitor with * an incomplete object has undefined behavior (other than a special * case for visit_type_str() treating NULL like ""), while the dealloc * visitor safely handles incomplete objects. Since input visitors * never produce an incomplete object, such an object is possible only * by manual construction. * * For the QAPI object types (structs, unions, and alternates), there * is an additional generated function in qapi-visit.h compatible * with: * * void visit_type_FOO_members(Visitor *v, FOO *obj, Error **errp); * * for visiting the members of a type without also allocating the QAPI * struct. * * Additionally, in qapi-types.h, all QAPI pointer types (structs, * unions, alternates, and lists) have a generated function compatible * with: * * void qapi_free_FOO(FOO *obj); * * where behaves like free() in that @obj may be NULL. Such objects * may also be used with the following macro, provided alongside the * clone visitor: * * Type *QAPI_CLONE(Type, src); * * in order to perform a deep clone of @src. Because of the generated * qapi_free functions and the QAPI_CLONE() macro, the clone and * dealloc visitor should not be used directly outside of QAPI code. * * QAPI types can also inherit from a base class; when this happens, a * function is generated for easily going from the derived type to the * base type: * * BASE *qapi_CHILD_base(CHILD *obj); * * For a real QAPI struct, typical input usage involves: * * * Foo *f; * Error *err = NULL; * Visitor *v; * * v = FOO_visitor_new(...); * visit_type_Foo(v, NULL, &f, &err); * if (err) { * ...handle error... * } else { * ...use f... * } * visit_free(v); * qapi_free_Foo(f); * * * For a list, it is: * * FooList *l; * Error *err = NULL; * Visitor *v; * * v = FOO_visitor_new(...); * visit_type_FooList(v, NULL, &l, &err); * if (err) { * ...handle error... * } else { * for ( ; l; l = l->next) { * ...use l->value... * } * } * visit_free(v); * qapi_free_FooList(l); * * * Similarly, typical output usage is: * * * Foo *f = ...obtain populated object... * Error *err = NULL; * Visitor *v; * Type *result; * * v = FOO_visitor_new(..., &result); * visit_type_Foo(v, NULL, &f, &err); * if (err) { * ...handle error... * } else { * visit_complete(v, &result); * ...use result... * } * visit_free(v); * * * When visiting a real QAPI struct, this file provides several * helpers that rely on in-tree information to control the walk: * visit_optional() for the 'has_member' field associated with * optional 'member' in the C struct; and visit_next_list() for * advancing through a FooList linked list. Similarly, the * visit_is_input() helper makes it possible to write code that is * visitor-agnostic everywhere except for cleanup. Only the generated * visit_type functions need to use these helpers. * * It is also possible to use the visitors to do a virtual walk, where * no actual QAPI struct is present. In this situation, decisions * about what needs to be walked are made by the calling code, and * structured visits are split between pairs of start and end methods * (where the end method must be called if the start function * succeeded, even if an intermediate visit encounters an error). * Thus, a virtual walk corresponding to '{ "list": [1, 2] }' looks * like: * * * Visitor *v; * Error *err = NULL; * int value; * * v = FOO_visitor_new(...); * visit_start_struct(v, NULL, NULL, 0, &err); * if (err) { * goto out; * } * visit_start_list(v, "list", NULL, 0, &err); * if (err) { * goto outobj; * } * value = 1; * visit_type_int(v, NULL, &value, &err); * if (err) { * goto outlist; * } * value = 2; * visit_type_int(v, NULL, &value, &err); * if (err) { * goto outlist; * } * outlist: * visit_end_list(v, NULL); * if (!err) { * visit_check_struct(v, &err); * } * outobj: * visit_end_struct(v, NULL); * out: * error_propagate(errp, err); * visit_free(v); * */ /*** Useful types ***/ /* This struct is layout-compatible with all other *List structs * created by the QAPI generator.
