[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Allow '-' or '_' for all QemuOpts

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Allow '-' or '_' for all QemuOpts

[Anthony Liguori]

This is an alternative to Luiz's series that allows either '-' or '_' to be
used when specifying QemuOpts.  This is nicer than aliases because it's
universal.

We don't expose qemu-config anywhere so we can also go ahead and change the
written names to use dashes too.

I've only lightly tested this for compatibility but it seems to behave as
expected.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] qemu-opts: introduce a function to compare option names

[Anthony Liguori]

We don't use the standard C functions for conversion because we don't want to
depend on the user's locale.  All option names in QEMU are en_US in plain ASCII.

[Wondering if I should bring up the US 'canceled' vs. UK 'cancelled' as
a counterpoint to the claim of everything being en_US, but then again, I
didn't find any use of 'cancelled' as an option in qapi-schema.json.]

Slick - making case-insensitive comparison also fold '-' and '_' together :)

P.S. This is not portable to EBCDIC, but I guess we don't care about
compilation of qemu on a non-ASCII machine, so my review still stands.

Fortunately, even on S390, Linux uses ASCII under normal circumstances
:-)

This isn't actually doing a pure tolower() operation.
opt_canonicalize() is a bit long though, perhaps.
I guess it's static so not a big deal.

This is not in line with the return value that the C library
strcmp() would return. C99 7.21.4 says "The sign of a nonzero
value returned by the comparison functions memcmp, strcmp,
and strncmp is determined by the sign of the difference between
the values of the first pair of characters (both interpreted
as unsigned char) that differ in the objects being compared."
This code will use whatever the signed/unsignedess of plain
'char' is.

(None of the callers use the sign of the return value so this
is something of a nitpick.)

If you made the for() loop into a do..while so that we
execute the loop body for the 'final NUL' case you could
avoid having this pair of checks, I think (and you can
make the loop termination case just '!lhs[i]' since if
we get past the 'mismatch' exits we've definitely got
to the end of both strings and can return true).

Sorry, how is this wrong?

This returns:

strcmp("a", "b") -> -1
qemu_opt_name_cmp("a", "b") -> -1

I can poke around but not convinced it will result in better code.  I
must admit that I prefer explicit handling of edge cases like this.

 strcmp("\x90", "\x50") -> 64
 qemu_opt_name_cmp("\x90", "\x50") -> -1

(assuming a 'char is signed' architecture like x86, or use
"gcc -fsigned-char" if by some miracle you do your qemu
development on an ARM box :-))

Typically these basic C library functions are arranged so
that the edge cases mostly fall out in the wash
(because the original implementation was done to be simple
to code rather than to provide particular semantics),
so if I see an implementation that does special case them
it makes me wonder if it's getting something wrong.

For instance the BSD naive strcmp is just four lines and
no special casing apart from "stop if we ran out of string":

    while (*s1 == *s2++)
        if (*s1++ == '\0')
            return (0);
    return (*(const unsigned char *)s1 - *(const unsigned char *)(s2 - 1));

Fails to explain the important part, namely the actual change to option

Are you sure you want to make options case-insensitive?  If yes, please
mention it in the commit message.

The implementation is too longwinded for my taste :)

static unsigned char opt_canon_ch(char ch)

Or maybe a bool qemu_opt_name_eq() instead.

Aha, you cover the non-QemuOpts stuff, too.  Fine with me.

There's a strcmp(option, "id") in opts_do_parse(), and a similar one in
qemu_opts_from_qdict_1().  Perhaps they should be compared with
qemu_opt_name_cmp(), too, just for consistency.

Yes, I like the function naming and this implementation
is both shorter and more obviously correct.

What about the man page? Should it be updated or are we going to let it

The man page is generated from qemu-options.hx which also generates the
help output.

Unfortunately, we're still stuck in the "everyone yells at Anthony when
he tries to change the help output because of libvirt" state.

So we need to keep the option names in --help with '_'s.

I think we should simply say "no, parsing -help is broken and wrong and it
was obviously broken and wrong and we are in fact going to change the
help output for QEMU 1.2, and you will need a new libvirt that can
cope with that". We can't be held hostage forever to really bad decisions
like that.

We have to provide an alternative before doing that.

Libvirt folks can answer if this is feasible (CC'ing them), I'd guess it's not.

I'm all for breaking -help output, provided we have something more
reliable to use in its place.  The way I see it, we have these scenarios
to think about:

old libvirt, old qemu => works
new libvirt, new qemu => works
new libvirt, old qemu => works (and if it doesn't, it's libvirt's fault,
so this is irrelevant to qemu)
old libvirt, new qemu => this is what _might_ break if -help output
changes; but if you can afford to upgrade qemu, you should also be able
to upgrade your libvirt.  A historical example of this was when qemu
upgraded to 1.0, but older libvirt was still expecting to parse a x.y.z
version string, so the reality was that no one upgraded to qemu 1.0
unless they also upgraded libvirt.

We've already known for some time that parsing -help output is fragile;
the best we can do is make sure that new libvirt can handle all
historical forms of output, but I think it is reasonable to tell users
that as soon as a new form of output is added to the mix (because qemu
was upgraded), then you also have to upgrade libvirt to handle that new
format.  Older libvirt's inability to predict the future of what newer
qemu output will be should not penalize innovation in newer qemu.

Put a TODO there to remind us to fix it up after the help message
gridlock clears?

Was the remaining underscore an oversight or intentional?

Unlike aliases, it permits '_' where it wasn't permitted before.
Tolerable.
