2 * Parsing KEY=VALUE,... strings
4 * Copyright (C) 2017 Red Hat Inc.
6 * Authors:
7 * Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>,
9 * This work is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL, version 2 or later.
10 * See the COPYING file in the top-level directory.
14 * KEY=VALUE,... syntax:
16 * key-vals = [ key-val { ',' key-val } [ ',' ] ]
17 * key-val = key '=' val
18 * key = key-fragment { '.' key-fragment }
19 * key-fragment = / [^=,.]* /
20 * val = { / [^,]* / | ',,' }
22 * Semantics defined by reduction to JSON:
24 * key-vals specifies a JSON object, i.e. a tree whose root is an
25 * object, inner nodes other than the root are objects or arrays,
26 * and leaves are strings.
28 * Each key-val = key-fragment '.' ... '=' val specifies a path from
29 * root to a leaf (left of '='), and the leaf's value (right of
30 * '=').
32 * A path from the root is defined recursively:
33 * L '.' key-fragment is a child of the node denoted by path L
34 * key-fragment is a child of the tree root
35 * If key-fragment is numeric, the parent is an array and the child
36 * is its key-fragment-th member, counting from zero.
37 * Else, the parent is an object, and the child is its member named
38 * key-fragment.
40 * This constrains inner nodes to be either array or object. The
41 * constraints must be satisfiable. Counter-example: a.b=1,a=2 is
42 * not, because root.a must be an object to satisfy a.b=1 and a
43 * string to satisfy a=2.
45 * Array subscripts can occur in any order, but the set of
46 * subscripts must not have gaps. For instance, a.1=v is not okay,
47 * because root.a[0] is missing.
49 * If multiple key-val denote the same leaf, the last one determines
50 * the value.
52 * Key-fragments must be valid QAPI names or consist only of decimal
53 * digits.
55 * The length of any key-fragment must be between 1 and 127.
57 * Design flaw: there is no way to denote an empty array or non-root
58 * object. While interpreting "key absent" as empty seems natural
59 * (removing a key-val from the input string removes the member when
60 * there are more, so why not when it's the last), it doesn't work:
61 * "key absent" already means "optional object/array absent", which
62 * isn't the same as "empty object/array present".
64 * Design flaw: scalar values can only be strings; there is no way to
65 * denote numbers, true, false or null. The special QObject input
66 * visitor returned by qobject_input_visitor_new_keyval() mostly hides
67 * this by automatically converting strings to the type the visitor
68 * expects. Breaks down for type 'any', where the visitor's
69 * expectation isn't clear. Code visiting 'any' needs to do the
70 * conversion itself, but only when using this keyval visitor.
71 * Awkward. Note that we carefully restrict alternate types to avoid
72 * similar ambiguity.
74 * Additional syntax for use with an implied key:
76 * key-vals-ik = val-no-key [ ',' key-vals ]
77 * val-no-key = / [^=,]* /
79 * where no-key is syntactic sugar for implied-key=val-no-key.

90 * Convert @key to a list index.
91 * Convert all leading decimal digits to a (non-negative) number,
92 * capped at INT_MAX.
93 * If @end is non-null, assign a pointer to the first character after
94 * the number to *@end.

98 * Note: since only digits are converted, no two keys can map to the
99 * same number, except by overflow to INT_MAX.
