The 'qapi.backend.QAPIBackend' class defines an API contract for code generators. The current generator is put into a new class 'qapi.backend.QAPICBackend' and made to be the default impl.A custom generator can be requested using the '-k' arg which takes a fully qualified python class name qapi-gen.py -k the.python.module.QAPIMyBackend Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berra...@redhat.com> --- This is an impl of the idea I mentioned at: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2025-02/msg03475.html With this change, it is possible for the Go generator code to live outside of qemu.git, invoked using: $ PYTHONPATH=/path/to/qemu.git/scripts \ python /path/to/qemu.git/scripts/qapi-gen.py \ -o somedir \ -k qapi.golang.golang.QAPIGoBackend \ /path/to/qemu.git/qga/qapi-schema.json The external app could just expect qemu.git to be checkedout somewhere convenient, or could use a git submodule to reference it. scripts/qapi/backend.py | 96 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ scripts/qapi/main.py | 65 ++++++++-------------------- 2 files changed, 113 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) create mode 100644 scripts/qapi/backend.py
