Commit Message

Laszlo Ersek April 26, 2018, 6:34 p.m. UTC
We'll soon need an enumeration type that lists all the softmmu targets
that QEMU (the project) supports. Introduce @SysEmuTarget to
"common.json".

The enum constant @x86_64 is not spelled @x86-64 because the corresponding
emulator is called qemu-system-x86_64.

Like other enum types, @SysEmuTarget too can be used for discriminator
fields in unions. For the @i386 constant, a C-language union member called
"i386" would be generated. On mingw build hosts, "i386" is a macro
however. Add "i386" to "polluted_words" at once.

Notes:
    PATCHv2:
    
    - document the use of the underscore in @x86_64 in both the commit
      message and in the schema [Eric, Dan]
    
    - extend "polluted_words" with "i386" [Eric]
    
    - drop previous R-b's
    
    - update the CC list
    
    PATCHv1:
    
    - pick up R-b's from Markus and Kashyap, no changes
    
    RFCv3:
    
    - The patch is new in this version. [Dan, Markus]
    
    - The original idea was to call the new enum @Target; however, @Target
      generates exactly the TARGET_AARCH64, TARGET_ALPHA, TARGET_ARM, ...
      enumeration constants that conflict with the poisoned preprocessing
      macros of the same names. Hence @SysEmuTarget -- it's more accurate
      anyway, since we want it to stand for system emulation targets.
    
    - Also, we discussed defining the new type in either "common.json" or
      "misc.json". "misc.json" turned out to be a problem: "firmware.json"
      would then include "misc.json" for the new type's sake, but that
      inclusion would become the first appearance of "misc.json" -- within
      "firmware.json". That messed up the generated documentation. By adding
      the new type to "common.json", "misc.json" (see the 2nd patch) and
      "firmware.json" (see the 3rd patch) can both consume the new type
      without problems.

I think the Notes: goes a little bit deep into implementation details,
considering that it is part of the user-facing documentation.  Maybe it
is sufficient to shorten to just:

Notes: The resulting QMP strings can be appended to the "qemu-system-"
prefix to produce the corresponding QEMU executable name.

and maybe add:

This is true even for "qemu-system-x86_64".

and leave the rest for the commit message.

Everything else looks good, so depending on what happens to the Notes
section after other reviewers have chimed in, you can probably add:
