[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 00/23] qapi visitor cleanups (post-introspection cleanups subset E)

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

Pending prerequisites:
+ Markus' "typedefs: Put them back into alphabetical order"
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-11/msg04417.html
+ Markus' qapi-next branch
http://repo.or.cz/qemu/armbru.git/shortlog/refs/heads/qapi-next
+ My v13 subset D patches:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-11/msg04732.html

Also available as a tag at this location:
git fetch git://repo.or.cz/qemu/ericb.git qapi-cleanupv6e

and will soon be part of my branch with the rest of the v5 series, at:
http://repo.or.cz/qemu/ericb.git/shortlog/refs/heads/qapi

v6 notes:
My set of patches related to qapi visitors has grown, and it's time
that I post it on list again.  Of course, since this is all 2.6
material, and there's already lots of patches earlier in the queue,
I may need a v7 to pick up rebase changes.

A lot of the new patches in this series are based on fallout from
implementing an early RFC posted against a v5 review:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg06878.html

Backport diff from v5:

Subset F (and more?) will come later.

In v5:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg05410.html
I _did_ rearrange patches to try and group related features:

1-2: Groundwork cleanups
3-5: Add more test cases
6-16: Front-end cleanups
17-18: Introspection output cleanups
19-20: 'alternate' type cleanups
21-29: qapi visitor cleanups
30-45: qapi-ify netdev_add
46: add qapi shorthand for flat unions

Lots of fixes based on additional testing, and rebased to
track other changes that happened in the meantime.  The series
is huge; I can split off smaller portions as requested.

In v4:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg02580.html
add some more clean up patches
rebase to Markus' recent work
pull in part of Zoltán's work to make netdev_add a flat union,
further enhancing it to be introspectible

I might be able to rearrange some of these patches, or separate
it into smaller independent series, if requested; but I'm
posting now to get review started.

In v3:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-08/msg02059.html
redo cleanup of dealloc of partial struct
add patches to make all visit_type_*() avoid leaks on failure
add patches to allow boxed command arguments and events

In v2:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-08/msg00900.html
rebase to Markus' v3 series
rework how comments are emitted for fields inherited from base
additional patches added for deleting colliding 'void *data'
documentation updates to match code changes

v1 was here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg05266.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-07/msg05325.html
