Why qlist_iter(..., func, ...) and not

Ugly. I really think the monitor interface needs to be changed to take
an opaque parameter.

The parameter can passed to the caller with for example a registration
function, like the patches I sent before QObject conversion.

> +void monitor_print_ioapic(Monitor *mon, const QObject *ret_data)

In this case the function would be
void monitor_print_ioapic(Monitor *mon, const QObject *ret_data, void *opaque)
where opaque replaces the static ioapic variable.

> +void do_info_ioapic(Monitor *mon, QObject **ret_data)

Same here.

Agree, but that's the reality now. Pic does the same. As long as there
is only one IOAPIC (and there is no indication that there will be more)
that is OK.

I agree, but all other info functions in qemu do exactly same:
referencing global data. This is ugly _and_ this nothing to
do with my patch.

 Nice, you really got how to do it. Just two minor comments.

 Well, when I started working on the QObjects I was still getting
familiar with QEMU internals and just ignored the FOREACH_ loops.

 Later, I realized that they could be better but then we were
planning to have libqmp and now I'm wondering if it's ok to expose
data structure members to the public.

 You can include qemu-objects.h.

 'masked' should be a bool, using %i will do it, like:


 obj = qobject_from_jsonf("{'index': %d, 'masked': %i}", i);

No need to put anything here? ------------------------------^?
OR should it be
obj = qobject_from_jsonf("{'index': %d, 'masked': %i}", i, true);

 Do you mind updating your series and sending it again?

 You could make the opaque parameter part of info_new or cmd_new, provided
the new handlers have global data so that we can see better the benefit
in practice.

 Oh yes, you right. Actually, you can do:

obj = qobject_from_jsonf("{'index': %d, 'masked': true }", i);

 I would also include this key in the unmasked dict (the one
you fill in the else clause), just for consistency in the protocol.

 And yes, having to worry about the protocol in the handler is a sign
that we have to improve.

This assumes there is only one ioapic.  While I don't think there's a 
good reason to add more (the one we have is causing sufficient trouble), 
I suggest returning an array of ioapics (or include gsibase: [{ ioapic: 
object, gsibase: 0 }, { ioapic: object, gsibase: 24 }].

For the case of multiple ioapics I thought about extending the command
to get ioapic id as a parameter when time comes. gsibase is not know to
ioapic itself, so this info does not belong here.

Here's a good example of why attacking device-info is a better general 
approach.

Right now, you only support one ioapic and you only display a portion of 
the device's state.  In the future, it's likely that you'll want to 
support multiple ioapic (okay, maybe not likely, but possible), and it's 
very likely you'll want to include more state for the ioapic.

By definition, VMState contains all of the state of a device that's 
guest visible.  That means from a debugging perspective, you are 
guaranteed to have all of the information you need for the particular 
device.  Also, because it's necessarily to save multiple instances of a 
device with VMState, it automatically supports the ability to view 
multiple instances of a device.

This goes away if you use VMState since we already have a global table 
that contains all of the registered VMState instances.  It also maps 
device names/instance ids to the actual field contents.

I included only the state I need for debugging. I don't what to see
complete state. It will just clatter important info.

I've got you point. When VMState will have this cool powers you are talking
about I'll use it. I don't see the point of bragging about something
that doesn't exists.

It *does* exist.  The ioapic has already been converted to VMState.

Someone may find that full state useful though.  There's no good reason 
to not show the entire device's state.

It *does not*, VMstate has nothing to do with displaying device state as of today.
And implementing of general "device state printing facility" that dumps binary
data was possible event before VMstate: just call device's save
function with fake QEMUFile and dump it in binary. This haven't stopped
addition of info functions that understand device internals and print
relevant information in human readable form. This has nothing to do with
VMState.

There is no good reason to not show the entire device's state in
addition to nicely formated most useful part of it. Here I fixed it for

Have you even attempted to look at what the generic implementation would 
be? ioapic has three vmstate fields.  If you decode ioredtbl into six 
subfields, then you're only adding two addition fields to be printed.

I can't believe that having those two extra fields is really going to 
make it any more difficult to debug.

And being able to dump any device state is certainly going to be useful 
in the future.
