[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 26/26] qapi-introspect: Hide type names


From: Markus Armbruster
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 26/26] qapi-introspect: Hide type names
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 13:06:29 +0200

To eliminate the temptation for clients to look up types by name
(which are not ABI), replace all type names by meaningless strings.

Reduces output of query-schema by 13 out of 85KiB.

As a debugging aid, provide option -u to suppress the hiding.
