[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 35/46] qapi-visit: Remove redundant functions for flat union base

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

The code for visiting the base class of a child struct created
visit_type_Base_fields(); the code for visiting the base class
of a flat union created visit_type_Union_fields(). If the same
type is shared between a struct and a union, the two functions
differed only by whether they visited the discriminator used by
the union. But if the base class always visits all its fields,
then we don't need to revisit the discriminator specially for
a union.  By consistently visiting the base class fields under
the name of the base class, we can eliminate some redundant
code.

Now that gen_visit_struct_fields() can potentially collect more
than one function into 'ret', a regular expression searching for
whether a label was used may hit a false positive within the
body of the first function.  But using a regex was overkill,
since we can easily determine when we jumped to a label.
