[Qemu-devel] [PULL 07/15] qapi-event: Utilize implicit struct visits

[Markus Armbruster]

From: Eric Blake <address@hidden>

Rather than generate inline per-member visits, take advantage
of the 'visit_type_FOO_members()' function for emitting events.
This is possible now that implicit structs can be visited like
any other.  Generated code shrinks accordingly; by initializing
a struct based on parameters, through a new gen_param_var()
helper, like:

|     visit_end_struct(v, err ? NULL : &err);

Notice that the initialization of 'param' has to cast away const
(just as the old gen_visit_members() had to do): we can't change
the signature of the user function (which uses 'const char *'), but
have to assign it to a non-const QAPI object (which requires
'char *').

While touching this, document with a FIXME comment that there is
still a potential collision between QMP members and our choice of
local variable names within qapi_event_send_FOO().

This patch also paves the way for some followup simplifications
in the generator, in subsequent patches.
