[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/24] block: Command line option -blockdev

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

Actually, the command line option is the least part of this series.
Its bulk is about building infrastructure and getting errors out of
the JSON parser[*].  The latter part could be spun out in its own
series, if that helps.  We'll see.

The design of the command line interface was discussed here:
Subject: Non-flat command line option argument syntax
Message-ID: <87bmukmlau.fsf@dusky.pond.sub.org>
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-02/msg00555.html

This series is based on "[PATCH v2 00/26] qapi: QMP dispatch and input
visitor work".  Available as branch blockdev-cmdline in my public repo
<http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/armbru.git>, except that one still has a
patch to add implied value sugar, followed by its revert.

It supersedes "[PATCH RFC v3 0/5] block: Crude initial implementation
of -blockdev".

[*] Who'd have thunk anyone actually wants to know what's wrong with
his JSON!
