We commonly initialize attributes to None in .init(), then set their
real value in .check().  Accessing the attribute before .check()
yields None.  If we're lucky, the code that accesses the attribute
prematurely chokes on None.

It won't for .ifcond, because None is a legitimate value.

Leave the ifcond attribute undefined until check().

Drawback: pylint complains.  We'll live.

Shouldn't this be squashed into the previous patch?

Whenever we add a .check(), we need to prove QAPISchema.check()'s
recursion still terminates, and terminates the right way.

Argument before this patch: we recurse only into types contained in
types, e.g. an object type's base type, and we detect and report cycles
as "Object %s contains itself", in QAPISchemaObjectType.check().

The .check() added here recurses into a type.  If this creates a cycle,
it'll be caught and reported as "contains itself".  We still need to
show that the error message remains accurate.

We .check() here to inherit .ifcond from a type.  As far as I can tell,
we use this inheritance feature only to inherit an array's condition
from its element type.  That's safe, because an array does contain its
elements.

This is hardly a rigorous proof.  Just enough to make me believe your
code works.

However, I suspect adding the inheritance feature at the entity level
complicates the correctness argument without real need.  Can we restrict
it to array elements?  Have QAPISchemaArrayType.check() resolve
type-valued ._ifcond, and all the others choke on it?

Layering violation.  Tolerable, I think.

Perhaps other attributes that become valid only at .check() time should
receive the same treatment.  Not necessarily in this series, not
necessarily by you.  A TODO comment wouldn't hurt, though.

I would rather keep it seperate, as it makes reviewing both a bit
easier to me. But feel free to squash on commit.

There is also implicit object types.

yeah, alternative would be to add an assert_ifcond() method in type..?
I'll add a # pylint: disable=protected-access for now

It doesn't look obvious to me which should receive the same
treatement. I'll leave that to you to figure out :)

Wortwhile only if we make an effort to clean up or suppress the other
pylint gripes.  I'll look into it.  Go ahead and add the directive
meanwhile; easily dropped it if we decide we don't want it.

Fair enough.

{ 'union': 'Foo', 'data': { 'foo': 'Test' } }

will create implicit QAPISchemaObjectType q_obj_Test-wrapper in
_make_simple_variant()

This happens before check(), so we pass the Test type as ifcond.
