The first two patches clean up error propagation and enable the release of incompletely parsed/created objects. A new test case is added as well.
Inspired by [1], patches 3-6 add a new visitor that should simplify defining and processing command line options. For a more detailed description, please see "[PATCH v3 06/18] qapi: introduce OptsVisitor". The rest converts -net/-netdev parsing to the new visitor. v1->v2: - Insert a small patch between v1 01/16 and v1 02/16 in order to generate C types for fixed-width integers. - Tighten / clean up integer types in Netdev options and in OptsVisitor. - NetLegacy::name is optional. - Changes are marked below individually and described separately. - (Rebase to current master.) v2->v3: - Instead of examining, assert that we never overwrite errors with error_set(). - Allow visitors to set a NULL struct pointer successfully, so traversal of incomplete objects can continue. - Check for a NULL "obj" before accessing "(*obj)->has_XXX" (this is not a typo, "obj != NULL" implies "*obj != NULL" here). - Fix start_struct / end_struct balance for unions as well. - Add test case for deallocating traversal of incomplete structure. - Factor opts_visitor_insert() out of opts_start_struct() and call it separately for opts_root->id if there's any. - Don't require non-negative values in opts_type_int()'s error message. - g_malloc0() may return NULL for zero-sized requests. Support empty structures by requesting 1 byte for them instead. - NetLegacy::id is allowed and takes precedence over NetLegacy::name. - Replace "@traits" with "@opts" in NetLegacy & Netdev descriptions. - Keep "qemu-option.h" included in "net/slirp.h".
