Clang compiler complained about use of reserved word 'restrict' in SLIRP
and QAPI.

Rename 'restrict' to 'restricted' which also matches other SLIRP code.

Can't do it, this changes the command-line option.

Luiz, Michael, any ideas?

I'm not sure how complicated it would be to implement this, but we could add
a 'bind' keyword to the type dict to control mapping between protocol names
and generated variable names. Like this:

{ 'type': 'NetdevUserOptions',
  'data': {
    '*hostname':  'str',
    '*restrict':  'bool',
    ...
    '*hostfwd':   ['String'],
    '*guestfwd':  ['String'] },

  'bind': { 'restrict': 'restricted' } }

How about prefixing all json-generated field names with for example
'json_'? Should be a simple mechanical change.

In addition to 'restrict', there may also be problems with 'if'
(-drive, HMP drive_add) and maybe also 'auto' as value (several
command line options, HMP pci_add) in the future.

It's a whole lot of churn though, and clobbers the history for most QMP
functions. It also seems like a strange thing for clang to complain about...

I think special casing is probably the way to go...

Luiz's bind approach seems reasonable, though "alias" might be the more
familiar name.

As an alternative I'll throw out there, the QIDL series introduces the
notion of "annotated" fields, which allow us to pass additional
information to the code generators (instead of just the typename)
regarding how to handle that field internally. So we could do something like:

{ 'type': 'NetdevUserOptions',
  'data': {
    '*hostname':  'str',
    '*restrict': {
      '<annotated>': 'true',
      'type': 'bool',
      'native_name': 'restrict' },
    ... 
    '*hostfwd':   ['String'],
    '*guestfwd':  ['String'] } }

It's pretty flexible, but I'm hesitant to expose in documented schemas.

Not really, it's just C99:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrict

Prefixing would solve also future problems: 'if', 'auto', maybe
'static' can make sense for network options (as compared to DHCP) one
day etc.

This could work too.

We could also introduce new names and deprecate old ones, one day we
could remove the old versions. This is bit drastic change to be done
just because a new user invisible implementation makes command line
names clash with C keywords. I'd rather prefix.

As a struct field it didn't seem like there was a case where the usage
would be ambiguous, but yah, it's still justified to complain.

I don't think there's a necessary risk of this happening again. We can
catch it in code review, warn against it in documentation, and even go as
far as adding a list of reserved keywords that the schema parser/code
generators can complain about.

(I'm also somewhat biased because QIDL needs the schema names to align with the
actual field names, since the schema in that case is a description of an
exiting type that is not generated by QAPI. Although it wouldn't be too
hard to add a command-line option to still support that...)

Another option I'll put out there is to have the code generators
special-case `field_name in [ <reserved keywords> ]:` to re-name the
fields internally, and document the behavior for developers. This keeps
our mistakes from spilling out into the QAPI schemas.

We could detect C keywords and prefix (or suffix) an underscore
automatically.

I'll send a new patch which avoids all C keywords.
