[RFCv2 00/46] RFC: Generate parsexml/formatbuf functions based on directives

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



V1 here: [https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-June/msg00357.html]

Differ from V1:

  * Move the generator into scripts/xmlgen and rename it 'xmlgen'.

  * Declare virXMLChildNode and virXMLChildNodeSet in libvirt_private.syms.

  * Replace VIR_FREE with g_free and VIR_ALLOC[_N] with g_new0.

  * Adjust virReportError to avoid unnecessary translation.

  * Remove the macro VIR_USED and use G_GNUC_UNUSED to declare arguments.

  * When parsing string member, assign value to it directly instead of
    using middle variable.

  * Don't set libclang_path. Just use python-clang's default setting.

  * Use virEscapeString for escaping xml characters.

  * Enable directive 'genformat' with a parameter to support separation mode.

  * Add directive 'xmlswitch' and 'xmlgroup' to support discriminated unions. 

  * Allow directive 'array' and 'specified' to carry with a parameter,
    which specifies its counterpart explicitly.

  * Enable directive 'xmlattr' with path.

  * Add directive 'formatflag' and 'formathook'.


For those new and changed directives, illustrate them by an example:

struct _virDomainGraphicsAuthDef {  /* genparse, genformat:separate */
    char *passwd;                   /* xmlattr, formatflag:VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_SECURE */
    bool expires;
    time_t validTo;                 /* xmlattr:passwdValidTo, specified:expires */
    virDomainGraphicsAuthConnectedType connected;   /* xmlattr */
};

struct _virDomainGraphicsListenDef {    /* genparse:withhook, genformat */
    virDomainGraphicsListenType type;   /* xmlattr */
    char *address;                      /* xmlattr, formathook */
    char *network;                      /* xmlattr, formatflag:VIR_DOMAIN_GRAPHICS_LISTEN_TYPE_NETWORK */
    char *socket;                       /* xmlattr, formathook */
    int fromConfig;                     /* xmlattr, formatflag:%VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_STATUS */
    bool autoGenerated;                 /* xmlattr, formatflag:%VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_STATUS */
};

struct _virDomainGraphicsSDLDef {   /* genparse, genformat:separate */
    char *display;                  /* xmlattr */
    char *xauth;                    /* xmlattr */
    bool fullscreen;                /* xmlattr */
    virTristateBool gl;             /* xmlattr:gl/enable */
};

struct _virDomainGraphicsDef {  /* genparse:concisehook, genformat */
    virObjectPtr privateData;
    virDomainGraphicsType type;                         /* xmlattr */

    size_t nListens;
    virDomainGraphicsListenDefPtr listens;  /* xmlelem, array:nListens */

    union {
        virDomainGraphicsSDLDef sdl;                    /* xmlgroup */
        virDomainGraphicsVNCDef vnc;                    /* xmlgroup */
        virDomainGraphicsRDPDef rdp;                    /* xmlgroup */
        virDomainGraphicsDesktopDef desktop;            /* xmlgroup */
        virDomainGraphicsSpiceDef spice;                /* xmlgroup */
        virDomainGraphicsEGLHeadlessDef egl_headless;   /* xmlgroup */
    } data;                                             /* xmlswitch:type */
};


Explanation for these directives:

    - genformat[:separate|onlyattrs|onlyelems]

      Only work on a struct.
      Generate formatbuf function for this struct only if 'genformat' is specified.
      The function name is based on struct-name and suffixed with 'FormatBuf'.

      When 'genformat:separate' is specified, generate two formatbuf functions
      rather than a single full-mode formatbuf function.
      One for formatting attributes and another for formatting elements.
      These function names are based on struct-name and suffixed with 'FormatAttr'
      and 'FormatElem' respectively.

      The 'onlyattrs' and 'onlyelems' are just like 'separate', but only
      generate one of those two functions according to its denotation.

    - xmlattr[:[parentname/]thename]

      Parse/Format the field as an XML attribute or
      attribute wrapped by an XML element.
      If only 'thename' is specified, use it as the XML attribute name;
      or use the filed name.
      The 'parentname' is the name of the attribute's parent element.
      If 'parentname/thename' is specified, the corresponding form is
      <parentname thename='..' />.

    - xmlgroup

      The field is a struct, but its corresponding form in XML is a group
      rather than an element.

    - xmlswitch:thename

      Only for discriminated union. 'thename' is the name of its relative enum.
      The name of each union member should match a shortname of the enum.

    - array[:countername]

      Parse/Format the field as an array.
      Each array field must have an related counter field, which name is
      specified by 'countername'.
      If 'countername' is omitted, follow the pattern:
      n + 'field_name'.

    - specified[:thename]

      This field has an related field to indicate its existence, and
      'thename' specifies the name of this related field.
      When 'thename' is omitted, follow the pattern:
      'field_name' + '_specified'.

    - formatflag:[!|%]flag

      This field will be formatted and written out to XML only if the 'flag'
      hits a target flagset.
      The target flagset is passed into the formatbuf function through the
      argument 'opaque'.

      Adding a '!' before 'flag' means NOT hitting.

      Adding a '%' before 'flag' means that flag hitting-check is the unique
      condition for formatting this field. For example,
      for 'passwd' in 'virDomainGraphicsAuthDef', the directive is:

        formatflag:VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_SECURE

      then the generated code:

        if (def->passwd && (virXMLFlag(opaque) & VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_SECURE))
            virBufferEscapeString(buf, " passwd='%s'", def->passwd);

      If '%' is inserted like this:

        formatflag:%VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_SECURE

      then the generated code:

        if ((virXMLFlag(opaque) & VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_SECURE))
            virBufferEscapeString(buf, " passwd='%s'", def->passwd);

    - formathook
      Introduce hooks to handle the field if xmlgen can't deal with it now.

      E.g., virDomainGraphicsListenDef have two fields with 'formathook',
      which are 'address' and 'socket'.
      The xmlgen will generate the declaration of some hooks for formatting
      these fields and developers should implement them.

      1) Check the declaration of hook by a commandline.

        # ./scripts/xmlgen/go show virDomainGraphicsListenDef -kf

        int
        virDomainGraphicsListenDefFormatHook(const virDomainGraphicsListenDef *def,
                                             const void *parent,
                                             const void *opaque,
                                             virBufferPtr addressBuf,
                                             virBufferPtr socketBuf);

        bool
        virDomainGraphicsListenDefCheckHook(const virDomainGraphicsListenDef *def,
                                            const void *parent,
                                            void *opaque,
                                            bool result);

      2) Implement these two hooks in src/conf/domain_conf.c.

      2.1) virXXXFormatHook
        It is the hook for formatting field 'address' and 'socket'.
        The 'addressBuf' and 'socketBuf' are used for output destinations respectively.

      2.2) virXXXCheckHook
        For structs, the xmlgen generates virXXXCheck function to come with
        the virXXXFormatBuf. The virXXXCheck reports whether the corresponding
        XML element is null.

        The virXXXCheckHook intercepts the 'result' of virXXXCheck. It changes 'result'
        or just forwards it according to those fields with 'formathook'.

    Thanks!
