[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v14 10/19] qapi: Add visit_type_null() visitor


From: Eric Blake
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v14 10/19] qapi: Add visit_type_null() visitor
Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 10:13:03 -0600

Right now, qmp-output-visitor happens to produce a QNull result
if nothing is actually visited between the creation of the visitor
and the request for the resulting QObject.  A stronger protocol
would require that a QMP output visit MUST visit something.  But
to still be able to produce a JSON 'null' output, we need a new
visitor function that states our intentions.  Yes, we could say
that such a visit must go through visit_type_any(), but that
feels clunky.

So this patch introduces the new visit_type_null() interface and
its no-op interface in the dealloc visitor, and the next patch
will then wire it up into the qmp visitors.  For the visitors
that will not implement the callback, document the situation.
The code in qapi-visit-core unconditionally dereferences the
callback pointer, so that a segfault will inform a developer if
they need to implement the callback for their choice of visitor.

If QAPI had a 'null' type, we'd also have to use visit_type_null()
in the generated visitor functions (most likely, we'd use it via
an alternate type that permits 'null' or an object); we'll create
that usage when we need it.
