* qapi: Speed up frontend testsMarkus Armbruster2019-10-221-1/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "make check-qapi-schema" takes around 10s user + system time for me. With -j, it takes a bit over 3s real time. We have worse tests. It's still annoying when you work on the QAPI generator. Some 1.4s user + system time is consumed by make figuring out what to do, measured by making a target that does nothing. There's nothing I can do about that right now. But let's see what we can do about the other 8s. Almost 7s are spent running test-qapi.py for every test case, the rest normalizing and diffing test-qapi.py output. We have 190 test cases. If I downgrade to python2, it's 4.5s, but python2 is a goner. Hacking up test-qapi.py to exit(0) without doing anything makes it only marginally faster. The problem is Python startup overhead. Our configure puts -B into $(PYTHON). Running without -B is faster: 4.4s. We could improve the Makefile to run test cases only when the test case or the generator changed. But I'm after improvement in the case where the generator changed. test-qapi.py is designed to be the simplest possible building block for a shell script to do the complete job (it's actually a Makefile, not a shell script; no real difference). Python is just not meant for that. It's for bigger blocks. Move the post-processing and diffing into test-qapi.py, and make it capable of testing multiple schema files. Set executable bits while there. Running it once per test case now takes slightly longer than 8s. But running it once for all of them takes under 0.2s. Messing with the Makefile to run it only on the tests that need retesting is clearly not worth the bother. Expected error output changes because the new normalization strips off $(SRCDIR)/tests/qapi-schema/ instead of just $(SRCDIR)/. The .exit files go away, because there is no exit status to test anymore.

* qapi: Forbid empty unions and useless alternatesEric Blake2016-02-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Empty unions serve no purpose, and while we compile with gcc which permits them, strict C99 forbids them. We happen to inject a dummy 'void *data' member into the C unions that represent QAPI unions and alternates, but we want to get rid of that member (it pollutes the namespace for no good reason), which would leave us with an empty union if the user didn't provide any branches. While empty structs make sense in QAPI, empty unions don't add any expressiveness to the QMP language. So prohibit them at parse time. Update the documentation and testsuite to match. Note that the documentation already mentioned that alternates should have "two or more JSON data types"; so this also fixes the code to enforce that. However, we have existing uses of a union type with only one branch, so the 2-or-more strictness is intentionally limited to alternates.

* qapi: Add tests for empty unionsEric Blake2015-10-121-0/+1
The documentation claims that alternates are useful for allowing two or more types, although nothing enforces this. Meanwhile, it is silent on whether empty unions are allowed. In practice, the generated code will compile, in part because we have a 'void *data' branch; but attempting to visit such a type will cause an abort(). While there's no technical reason that a degenerate union could not be made to work, it's harder to justify the time spent in chasing known (the current abort() during visit) and unknown corner cases, than it would be to just outlaw them. A future patch will probably take the approach of forbidding them; in the meantime, we can at least add testsuite coverage to make it obvious where things stand. In addition to adding tests to expose the problems, we also need to adjust existing tests that are meant to test something else, but which could fail for the wrong reason if we reject degenerate alternates/unions. Note that empty structs are explicitly supported (for example, right now they are the only way to specify that one branch of a flat union adds no additional members), and empty enums are covered by the testsuite as working (even if they do not seem to have much use).
