[Qemu-devel] How to create multiplexed chardevs?

[Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>]

Hi Gerd,

I think you mostly worked on this:

How to specify -serial mon:stdio using the new syntax? I just ran into
the problem having to define a serial port via -device isa-serial but
wanting its terminal multiplexed with a monitor. -chardev mon:stdio is
not understood.

BTW, there is are thousand ways of shooting yourself into the foot (up
to crashing qemu) by accidentally combining old and new-style options. I
think we should catch and forbid any mixture instead of generating error
messages like this:

qemu-system-x86_64 -mon monitor -chardev stdio,id=monitor -monitor vc
tried to create id "monitor" twice for "chardev"
parse error: vc
