[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Let mouse_button monitor command accept coordinates

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Let mouse_button monitor command accept coordinates

[Soren Hansen]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2588 bytes --]

The mouse_button monitor command currently results in a call like this:

     kbd_mouse_event(0, 0, 0, mouse_button_status);

For a pointer in relative mode, this means a button gets pressed (or
or released) and nothing else. However, if the pointer currently being
controlled is in absolute mode (such as -usbtablet), it means that the
pointer will warp to (0, 0), effectively limiting clicking to the top
left corner of the desktop in the guest.

To work around this, I propose (thanks to Daniel Berrange for the
suggestion) to let the mouse_button monitor command optionally accept
coordinates.

The patch basically looks good, but some minor changes are needed. 
Please find my comments below.

I am not sure you should do the conversion here. qdict can directly get
int values.

This line should be put between curly braces to confirm the CODING
STYLE.

Yes, this is inappropriate for QMP.  It's copied from do_mouse_move(),
where it's just as inappropriate.  There it should look like

    int dx = (int)qdict_get_int(qdict, "dx_str");
    int dy = (int)qdict_get_int(qdict, "dy_str");
    int dz = (int)qdict_get_try_int(qdict, "dz_str", 0);
