[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/12] qdev: cleanup legacy properties

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

The conversion of qdev to QOM brought with it legacy properties.
Legacy properties are always have a string type (the accessors always
call visit_type_str), and were used to support -device syntax while
keeping QOM properties strongly typed.  For example, an hex8 property
is registered twice, once as an integer-typed property and once as a
legacy property that enforces base 16 for its input.

However, when introducing legacy properties, the hex8/32/64 had a small
change applied: the previously-optional "0x" prefix became mandatory,
and an error was raised if you omitted it.  This was in preparation
for making the legacy properties read-only, and changing the hex8/32/64
properties to uint8/32/64.  This series does exactly this in patches 1-6.

On the printing side, legacy properties are used by "info qtree" to
tweak its presentation: strings are quoted, hex8/32/64 properties are
printed in hexadecimal, and so on.  In this series, patches 7-10 add a
"human" mode to StringOutputVisitors.  This mode employs a slightly
different presentation, more suitable for human consumption, but its
output cannot be sent back to a StringInputVisitor.  The main change
is that numbers are printed in both decimal and 0x-prefixed hexadecimal.
This lets us drop hex8/32/64 property types.

Finally, patches 11-12 clean up the type names used for properties.
These are always QAPI names, so that in the future QOM introspection
can piggyback on QAPI introspection for describing property types.

Paolo Bonzini (12):
  qapi: add size parser to StringInputVisitor
  qdev: sizes are now parsed by StringInputVisitor
  qdev: remove legacy parsers for hex8/32/64
  qdev: legacy properties are now read-only
  qdev: legacy properties are just strings
  qdev: inline qdev_prop_parse
  qapi: add human mode to StringOutputVisitor
  qdev: use human mode in "info qtree"
  qdev: remove most legacy printers
  qdev: remove hex8/32/64 property types
  qdev: add enum property types to QAPI schema
  qdev: use QAPI type names for properties
