[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC v3 3/5] qapi: Permit scalar type conversions in QObjectInputVisitor

[Markus Armbruster]

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <address@hidden>

Currently the QObjectInputVisitor assumes that all scalar values are
directly represented as the final types declared by the thing being
visited. i.e. it assumes an 'int' is using QInt, and a 'bool' is using
QBool, etc.  This is good when QObjectInputVisitor is fed a QObject
that came from a JSON document on the QMP monitor, as it will strictly
validate correctness.

To allow QObjectInputVisitor to be reused for visiting a QObject
originating from keyval_parse(), an alternative mode is needed where
all the scalars types are represented as QString and converted on the
fly to the final desired type.

Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <address@hidden>
Message-Id: <address@hidden>

Rebased, conflicts resolved, commit message updated to refer to
keyval_parse().

Control flow in qobject_input_type_number_autocast() simplified.

Additional tests in test-qemu-opts.c to verify QemuOpts compatibility.
To make the tests pass, use qemu_strtou64() instead of
parse_uint_full().

Use qemu_strtou64() and qemu_strtosz() instead of
parse_option_number() and parse_option_size() so we have to call
qobject_input_get_name() only when actually needed.
