No counterpart change to qmp-commands.hx showing a valid usage?

In general, new QMP interfaces should use '-', not '_'.

Ewwww.  This should be '*file' : [ 'str' ] (that is, use a JSON array of
file names, not a single string).  If you have to reparse a JSON
argument to break it into parts, then you are using the wrong interface;
not to mention that I might (perversely) want to pass in a file name
that contains a colon as part of its name.

Again, JSON array, not flat string.

This is not a qmp command, but a productive (ie. by-design)
repurposement of the schema. Please see commit

Indeed! I think this warrants a respin.

Again (referring back to the links above), the schema here is structured
so that it accepts the same "-acpitable ..." command line options that
used to work before.

The parsing of that option pre-series, in acpi_table_add(), is "XXX
fixme: this function uses obsolete argument parsing interface". Since
I'm reworking that here, I think it's reasonable to fix that up as well.
The choice is between the traditional QemuOpts functions and
OptsVisitor. I'd like to benefit from the range validation built into
the latter, plus I'd like to demonstrate that OptsVisitor is usable.

(BTW OptsVisitor does support repeating option arguments, and it indeed
turns them into JSON lists, but utilizing that here would break the
current '-acpitable ...' format.)

Thanks!

Actually it doesn't, apologies -- I got confused for a minute. Again,
since I aim to match the existing option format, I must keep the same
spelling.

Thanks,

We should make a list of places where we have mixed conventions, accept
both, and mass-convert to dash...

Anthony used to nack all mass conversions since they mess up the git
history. Since the movement of headers went in, I gather this position
has been relaxed...

Paolo, what are you suggesting precisely?

Using something like

int strcmp_dash(const char *a, const char *b)
{
    char p, q;
    for (;; a++, b++) {
        p = *a == '_' ? '-' : *a;
        q = *b == '_' ? '-' : *b;
        a++, b++;
    } while (p == q && p != 0);
    return p - q;
}

in QemuOpts, the monitor, etc.  The mass conversion isn't really
necessary, just for cleanliness.

I had thought we already did this for qemu-option.c but it doesn't
appear that we do...

It's all about the value-to-cost ratio.  Running indent to remove
invisible space at the end of lines or sed'ing a way a '_t' just because
people like to quote standards too much offers very little value at a
high cost.

Significantly improving the code layout OTOH adds a lot of value and
justifies the impact.
