This is yet another RFC on the command-line parsing overhaul. Here, I'm switching HMP, -object and -readconfig away from QemuOpts. There are pending QemuOpts and keyval patches that make the syntaxes the same apart from:
- "implicit value" options (where the lack of value is turned into "on" or "off"), which will be deprecated - the processing of invalid, empty or overlong keys which can be considered bugfixes. Along the way, the object_add HMP command grows help support. The plan on top of this is to also keyval-ify -M and -accel. The reason for this, in my evil plan, is to allow for compound properties. These compound properties would be used for replacements of options like -smp (-M smp.xxx), -icount (-accel tcg,icount.xxx) and -chardev (as in -object chardev-socket,addr.host). Paolo Paolo Bonzini (12): tests: convert check-qom-proplist to keyval keyval: introduce keyval_parse_into hmp: replace "O" parser with keyval qom: use qemu_printf to print help for user-creatable objects hmp: special case help options for object_add qemu-io: use keyval for -object parsing qemu-nbd: use keyval for -object parsing qemu-img: use keyval for -object parsing qemu-config: add error propagation to qemu_config_parse qemu-config: parse configuration files to a QDict qemu-option: support accept-any QemuOptsList in qemu_opts_absorb_qdict qemu: use keyval for -object parsing block/blkdebug.c | 3 +- hmp-commands.hx | 6 +- include/qemu/config-file.h | 8 +- include/qemu/option.h | 2 + include/qom/object_interfaces.h | 45 +----- monitor/hmp-cmds.c | 22 +-- monitor/hmp.c | 20 ++- qemu-img.c | 258 +++++++------------------------- qemu-io.c | 42 ++---- qemu-nbd.c | 42 ++---- qom/object_interfaces.c | 57 +------ softmmu/vl.c | 113 ++++++++------ tests/check-qom-proplist.c | 58 ++++--- util/keyval.c | 39 ++++- util/qemu-config.c | 99 +++++++----- util/qemu-option.c | 3 +- 16 files changed, 324 insertions(+), 493 deletions(-) -- 2.26.2
