[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC v3 11/20] qapi: Rework deallocation of partial struct |

Commit cee2dedb noticed that if you have a partial flat union
(such as if an input parse failed due to a missing
discriminator), calling the dealloc visitor could result in
trying to dereference the NULL pointer. But the fix it proposed
requires the use of a 'data' member in the union, which may or
may not be the same size as other branches of the union
(consider a 32-bit platform where one of the branches is an
int64), so it feels fairly dirty. A better, and much shorter,
fix is to tweak all of the generated visit_type_implicit_FOO()
functions to avoid dereferencing NULL in the first place, to
not visit the fields if the struct pointer itself is not present,
at which point we no longer even need visit_start_union(), and
no one was using visit_end_union() callbacks. Also, this fixes
things to guarantee that any successful call to
visit_start_implicit_struct() is paired with a matching
visit_end_implicit_struct().
The lack of documentation on the visitor interface is appalling,
but I'm not fixing it here.
