These patches apply on top of qemu.git master, and can also be obtained from:
git://github.com/mdroth/qemu.git qapi-native-lists
Sending this now since a number of series have popped up in the past that
wanted this, and Amos has some pending patches (query-mac-tables) that rely
on this as well.
These patches add support for specifying lists of native qapi types
(int/bool/str/number/int8/uint8/etc) like so:
{ 'type': 'foo',
'data': { 'bar': ['int'] }}
for a 'bar' field that is a list of type 'int',
{ 'type': 'foo2',
'data': { 'bar2': ['str'] }}
for a 'bar2' field that is a list of type 'str', and so on.
This uses linked list types for the native C representations, just as we do
for complex schema-defined types. In the future we may add schema annotations
of some sort to specify a more natural/efficient array type for the C
representations, but this should serve the majority of uses-cases for now.
v2->v3:
* added native list support for fixed-width integer types (Amos)
* added fixed-width integer list coverage to serialization,
QMPOutputVisitor, and QmpInputVisitor unit tests
* added unit test to QmpInputVisitor to test new overflow handling when
integers types are expected (Eric)
* clarified terminology/documentation in json parser fix (Laszlo)
* fixed whitespace/newlines in code generator output (Luiz)
v1->v2:
* fixed do-nothing float tests in pre-existing code and updated new
unit tests accordingly (Laszlo)
* added a fix for a bug in json parser that was exposed by above change
* fixed misuse of string format parameters for float testing (Laszlo)
* fixed extra characters in comment (Laszlo)
* removed unused variant from UserDefNativeListUnion QAPI type
