New option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated interfaces get used. This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces. It is experimental. -compat deprecated-input=<in-policy> configures what to do when deprecated input is received. Available policies: * accept: Accept deprecated commands and arguments (default) * reject: Reject them * crash: Crash -compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when deprecated output is sent. Available output policies: * accept: Emit deprecated command results and events (default) * hide: Suppress them For now, -compat covers only deprecated syntactic aspects of QMP. We may want to extend it to cover semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features. v7: * Trivially rebased * PATCH 01: New, bug fix from Paolo * PATCH 02+11: Since: comments fixed, for real this time [Eric] * PATCH 03+10: qobject_output_visitor_new_qmp() and qobject_input_visitor_new_qmp() moved to qmp-dispatch.c to not break --disable-system --disable-tools builds * PATCH 05: Minor fallout from changed PATCH 03 * PATCH 06: Commit message typo fixed [Eric] v6: * Rebased, with straightforward conflicts * PATCH 1: More verbose commit message, explaining intent, and the lack of introspection [Peter], comments updated for 6.0, Eric's R-by kept anyway * PATCH 5+6: Split old PATCH 5 [Eric], Eric's R-by lept anyway * PATCH 7: New, correcting a latent issue so it doesn't break PATCH 8 * PATCH 10: Doc fix [Eric] v5: * Old PATCH 01-26 merged in commit f57587c7d47. * Rebased, non-trivial conflicts in PATCH 1 due to Meson, and in PATCH 7 due to visitor changes * PATCH 1: Comments updated for 5.2 [Eric] * PATCH 2: Harmless missing initialization fixed [Eric] * PATCH 3+4: Harmless missing has_FOO = true fixed [Eric] * PATCH 6+7: Commit message tweaked v4: * PATCH 05+07: Temporary memory leak plugged [Marc-André] * PATCH 23: Rewritten [Marc-André] * PATCH 24: Comment typo [Marc-André] * PATCH 30: Memory leaks plugged v3: * Rebased, non-trivial conflicts in PATCH 01+26+27+34 due to RST conversion and code motion * PATCH 28-29: Old PATCH 28 split up to ease review * PATCH 30-31: New * PATCH 32-33: Old PATCH 29 split up to ease review Comparison to RFC (24 Oct 2019): * Cover arguments and results in addition to commands and events * Half-baked "[RFC PATCH 18/19] qapi: Include a warning in the response to a deprecated command" dropped See also last item of Subject: Minutes of KVM Forum BoF on deprecating stuff Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 16:03:51 +0200 Message-ID: <87mur0ls8o.fsf(a)dusky.pond.sub.org&gt; https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-10/msg05828.html Cc: Lukáš Doktor <ldoktor(a)redhat.com&gt; Cc: libguestfs(a)redhat.com Cc: libvir-list(a)redhat.com Cc: Daniel P.
