[PATCH v2 0/9] Configurable policy for handling unstable interfaces

Option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated interfaces get used. This series extends this to unstable interfaces. Works the same way. Intended for testing users of the management interfaces. It is experimental. To make it possible, I replace the "x-" naming convention by special feature flag "unstable". See PATCH 1 for rationale. v2: * Rebased * PATCH 1: Commit message revamped [Kevin], R-bys kept * PATCH 6: gen_special_features() rewritten [John] * PATCH 7: disastrous typos fixed [Philippe] Markus Armbruster (9): qapi: New special feature flag "unstable" qapi: Mark unstable QMP parts with feature 'unstable' qapi: Eliminate QCO_NO_OPTIONS for a slight simplification qapi: Tools for sets of special feature flags in generated code qapi: Generalize struct member policy checking qapi: Generalize command policy checking qapi: Generalize enum member policy checking qapi: Factor out compat_policy_input_ok() qapi: Extend -compat to set policy for unstable interfaces docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst | 9 +- qapi/block-core.json | 123 +++++++++++++++++------- qapi/compat.json | 6 +- qapi/migration.json | 35 +++++-- qapi/misc.json | 6 +- qapi/qom.json | 11 ++- include/qapi/compat-policy.h | 7 ++ include/qapi/qmp/dispatch.h | 6 +- include/qapi/util.h | 8 +- include/qapi/visitor-impl.h | 6 +- include/qapi/visitor.h | 17 +++- monitor/misc.c | 7 +- qapi/qapi-forward-visitor.c | 16 +-- qapi/qapi-visit-core.c | 41 ++++---- qapi/qmp-dispatch.c | 57 ++++++++--- qapi/qmp-registry.c | 4 +- qapi/qobject-input-visitor.c | 22 ++--- qapi/qobject-output-visitor.c | 13 ++- storage-daemon/qemu-storage-daemon.c | 3 +- qapi/trace-events | 4 +- qemu-options.hx | 20 +++- scripts/qapi/commands.py | 12 +-- scripts/qapi/events.py | 10 +- scripts/qapi/gen.py | 8 ++ scripts/qapi/schema.py | 11 ++- scripts/qapi/types.py | 22 +++-- scripts/qapi/visit.py | 14 +-- tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json | 7 +- tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.out | 5 + 29 files changed, 348 insertions(+), 162 deletions(-) -- 2.31.1
