PATCH 1+2 add feature flags to enum members.  Awkward due to an
introspection design mistake; see PATCH 1 for details.

PATCH 3+4 implement policy deprecated-input={reject,crash} for enum
values.

Policy deprecated-output=hide is not implemented, because we can't
hide a value without hiding the entire member, which is almost
certainly more than the requester of this policy bargained for.
Perhaps we want a new policy deprecated-output=hide-or-else-crash to
help us catch unwanted use of deprecated enum values.  Perhaps we want
deprecated-output=hide to behave that way together with
deprecated-input=crash.  Or even always.  Thoughts?

PATCH 5 puts the new feature flags to use.  It's RFC because it makes
sense only on top of Vladimir's deprecation of drive-backup.  See its
commit message for a reference.

I prefer to commit new features together with a use outside tests/.
PATCH 5 adds such a use, but it's RFC, because it depends on
Vladimir's work.  Perhaps another use pops up.  I can delay this work
in the hope of a use becoming ready, but the feature flags work I have
in the pipeline will eventually force my hand.

v2:
* Rebased with straightforward conflicts.
* PATCH 1-4: No longer RFC.
* PATCH 1: "Since" information fixed [Eric].  Commit message updated
  to reflect feedback.
* PATCH 2: Commit message amended to point out special feature flag
 'deprecated' is ignored at this stage.
* PATCH 4: Documentation updated.  Commit message tweaked.

The next commit will add feature flags to enum members.  There's a
problem, though: query-qmp-schema shows an enum type's members as an
array of member names (SchemaInfoEnum member @values).  If it showed
an array of objects with a name member, we could simply add more
members to these objects.  Since it's just strings, we can't.

I can see three ways to correct this design mistake:

1. Do it the way we should have done it, plus compatibility goo.

   We want a ['SchemaInfoEnumMember'] member in SchemaInfoEnum.  Since
   changing @values would be a compatibility break, add a new member
   @members instead.

   @values is now redundant.  In my testing, output of
   qemu-system-x86_64's query-qmp-schema grows by 11% (18.5KiB).

   We can deprecate @values now and drop it later.  This will break
   outmoded clients.  Well-behaved clients such as libvirt are
   expected to break cleanly.

2. Like 1, but omit "boring" elements of @member, and empty @member.

   @values does not become redundant.  @members augments it.  Somewhat
   cumbersome, but output of query-qmp-schema grows only as we make
   enum members non-boring.

   There is nothing to deprecate here.

3. Versioned query-qmp-schema.

   query-qmp-schema provides either @values or @members.  The QMP
   client can select which version it wants.  There is no redundant
   output.

   We can deprecate old versions and eventually drop them.  This will
   break outmoded clients.  Breaking cleanly is easier than for 1.

   While 1 and 2 operate within the common rules for compatible
   evolution apply (section "Compatibility considerations" in
   docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst), 3 bypasses them.  Attractive when
   operating within the rules is just too awkward.  Not the case here.

This commit implements 1.  Libvirt developers prefer it.

This is quite similar to commit 84ab008687 "qapi: Add feature flags to
struct members", only for enums instead of structs.

Special feature flag 'deprecated' is silently ignored there.  This is
okay only because it will be implemented shortly.

The next commit needs to access compat policy from the generic visitor
core.  Move it there from qobject input and output visitor.

This copies the code implementing the policy from qapi/qmp-dispatch.c
to qapi/qobject-input-visitor.c.  Tolerable, but if we acquire more
copes, we should look into factoring them out.

    Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] qapi: deprecate drive-backup
    Date: Wed,  5 May 2021 16:58:03 +0300
    Message-Id: <20210505135803.67896-4-vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-05/msg01394.html

with this

    TODO: We also need to deprecate drive-backup transaction action..
    But union members in QAPI doesn't support 'deprecated' feature. I tried
    to dig a bit, but failed :/ Markus, could you please help with it? At
    least by advice?

This is one way to resolve it.  Sorry it took so long.

John explored another way, namely adding feature flags to union
branches.  Could also be useful, say to add different features to
branches in multiple unions sharing the same tag enum.

Not deprecated at this time, I agree with your choice to make the
actual deprecation of 'values' to be in a later patch (if at all).

Do we want the comma before the conjunction?  (I've seen style guides
that recommend it, and style guides that discourage it; while I tend
to write by the former style, I usually don't care about the latter.
Rather, switching styles mid-patch caught my attention).

Nice change while touching the code.  Is it worth mentioning in the

Obviously, we'd need to flesh this out ("'blockdev-backup' with proper
node names"? something else?) before dropping RFC on this patch.

And we'd want to edit docs/about/deprecated.rst to match.

But the idea is reasonable, and I'm not sure if we're any closer to
John's idea of feature flags on union branches.

docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst still says:

  The SchemaInfo for an enumeration type has meta-type "enum" and
  variant member "values".  The values are listed in no particular
  order; clients must search the entire enum when learning whether a
  particular value is supported.

  Example: the SchemaInfo for MyEnum from section `Enumeration types`_ ::

      { "name": "MyEnum", "meta-type": "enum",
        "values": [ "value1", "value2", "value3" ] }

It probably needs an update.

Should we have a test case for an invalid value for 'features'?

What does 'blockdev-backup' with improper node names look like?

I think it's sufficient to say "Use @blockdev-backup instead", which is
already documented to take a node/device name instead of a file name.

Yes.

We have coverage, just not in every context.

struct context:

    tests/qapi-schema/features-bad-type.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-deprecated-type.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-duplicate-name.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-if-invalid.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-missing-name.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-name-bad-type.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-no-list.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-unknown-key.json

struct member context:

    tests/qapi-schema/features-member-bad-type.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-member-duplicate-name.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-member-if-invalid.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-member-missing-name.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-member-name-bad-type.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-member-no-list.json
    tests/qapi-schema/features-member-unknown-key.json

These are basically the same, except for features-deprecated-type.json,
which makes sense only in struct context.

The other contexts are enum, union, alternate, command, event, and now
enum member.

My excuse for skipping contexts is that the errors come from
check_features() for all them.

With a comma there, we claim structs can be marked, which is actually
wrong.  Correct is "command, event, struct member, or enum member".

I'll rephrase to "marks a command, event, enum value, or struct member
deprecated."

Sold!

My patch makes sense only together with Vladimir's patch to deprecate
the drive-backup command.  That one updates deprecated.rst.  The
combination of the two might need further tweaking, but let's not worry
about that now.
