[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/3] qapi: fix crash when a parameter is missing

[Marc-André Lureau]

Calling:

{ "execute": "qom-set",
  "arguments": { "path": "/machine", "property": "rtc-time" } }

Will crash with:

qapi/qapi-visit-core.c:277: visit_type_any: Assertion `!err != !*obj'
failed

Clear the obj and return an error.

The patch also fixes a similar potential crash in qmp_input_type_null()
by checking qmp_input_get_object() returned a valid qobj.
