It often happens that just a few discriminator values imply extra data in
a flat union. Existing checks did not make possible to leave other values
uncovered. Such cases had to be worked around by either stating a dummy
(empty) type or introducing another (subset) discriminator enumeration.

Both options create redundant entities in qapi files for little profit.

With this patch it is not necessary anymore to add designated union
fields for every possible value of a discriminator enumeration.

Perhaps

               'value3' : 'UserDefB'
                # 'value4' defaults to empty
             } }

would be clearer.

The way you desugar the union is simple enough, but it uses
discriminator_find_enum_define() outside check_exprs(), which I'd rather
avoid.  Not something you could be reasonably expected to know.

We could desugar in QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariants.check(), where we have
self.tag_member.type.values.

Not so simple anymore.

Simpler: desugar in check_union(), i.e. replace your two hunks by just

The comment's position suggests it tells what the loop does, but that's
not the case.  Let's do it the old-fashioned obvious way instead:

       for var in variants.variants:
           if var.type.name == 'q_empty':
               continue

Aside: we need to filter out q_empty, because we don't generate a C type
for it.  Perhaps generating one would be simpler, but that's beyond the
scope of this patch.

Aside: we need this, because we don't generate a visitor for q_empty.

it didn't feel right aesthetically to normalize by modifying the parsed
expressions especially at check_exprs() stage. But maybe using
discriminator_find_enum_define() is more sloppy, I can't quite see

The issue isn't sloppiness, it's adding to our technical debt.  To
explain this, I need to relate a bit of history.

In the beginning, we did everything with syntax trees.  Commit
ac88219a6c7 (Sep 2015) spliced in an intermediate representation.  Its
commit message explains:

    The QAPI code generators work with a syntax tree (nested dictionaries)
    plus a few symbol tables (also dictionaries) on the side.

    They have clearly outgrown these simple data structures.  There's lots
    of rummaging around in dictionaries, and information is recomputed on
    the fly.  For the work I'm going to do, I want more clearly defined
    and more convenient interfaces.
    
    Going forward, I also want less coupling between the back-ends and the
    syntax tree, to make messing with the syntax easier.

We accepted some technical debt back then.  Same commit message:

    Shortcut: the semantic analysis still relies on existing check_exprs()
    to do the actual semantic checking.  All this code needs to move into
    the classes.  Mark as TODO.

It's this one:

    #
    # Semantic analysis of schema expressions
    # TODO fold into QAPISchema
    # TODO catching name collisions in generated code would be nice
    #

check_exprs() is the only entry point into the code under this TODO.
Your patch adds another one.  I don't like that.

Nobody expects you to deduce this from the code by yourself :)

Now, I agree hacking up the syntax tree isn't particularly clean,
either.  Perhaps doing it in QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariants.check() is
best after all.  In case you feel unsure about making that change, I can
take your solution, and address its technical debt issue in a follow-up
patch.
