Hi, long time no see! This patch series intent is to introduce a generator that produces a Go module for Go applications to interact over QMP with QEMU.
This idea was discussed before, as RFC: (RFC v1) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2022-04/msg00226.html (RFC v2) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2022-04/msg00226.html The work got stuck due to changes needed around types that can take JSON Null as value, but that's now fixed. I've pushed this series in my gitlab fork: https://gitlab.com/victortoso/qemu/-/tree/qapi-golang-v1 I've also generated the qapi-go module over QEMU tags: v7.0.0, v7.1.0, v7.2.6, v8.0.0 and v8.1.1, see the commits history here: https://gitlab.com/victortoso/qapi-go/-/commits/qapi-golang-v1-by-tags I've also generated the qapi-go module over each commit of this series, see the commits history here (using previous refered qapi-golang-v1) https://gitlab.com/victortoso/qapi-go/-/commits/qapi-golang-v1-by-patch * Why this? My main goal is to allow Go applications that interact with QEMU to have a native way of doing so. Ideally, we can merge a new QAPI command, update qapi-go module to allow Go applications to consume the new command in no time (e.g: if development of said applications are using latest QEMU) * Expectations >From previous discussions, there are things that are still missing. One simple example is Andrea's annotation suggestion to fix type names. My proposal is to have a qapi-go module in a formal non-stable version till some of those tasks get addressed or we declare it a non-problem. I've created a docs/devel/qapi-golang-code-gen.rst to add information from the discussions we might have in this series. Suggestions always welcome.
