2014-02-14qapi: Refine human printing of sizesPaolo Bonzini1-11/+12
This fixes several bugs or shortcomings of the previous pretty-printer. In particular: * use PRIu64 instead of casting to long long * the exact value is included too * the correct unit of measure (MiB, GiB, etc.) is used. PiB and EiB are added too. * due to an off-by-one error, 512*2^30 was printed as 0.500MiB rather than 512MiB. floor(log2(val)) is equal to 63 - clz(val), while the code used 64. * The desired specification is %g rather than %f, which always uses three decimals in the current code. However %g would switch to scientific notation when the integer part is >= 1000 (e.g. 1000*2^30). To keep the code simple, switch to the higher power when the integer part is >= 1000; overflow is avoided by using frexp instead of clz.

2014-02-14qapi: Add human mode to StringOutputVisitorPaolo Bonzini1-3/+52
This will be used by "info qtree". For numbers it prints both the decimal and hex values. For sizes it rounds to the nearest power of 2^10. For strings, it puts quotes around the string and separates NULL and empty string.

2012-06-08qapi: String visitor, use %f representation for floatsMichael Roth1-1/+1
Currently string-output-visitor formats floats as %g, which is nice in that trailing 0's are automatically truncated, but otherwise this causes some issues: - it uses 6 significant figures instead of 6 decimal places, which means something like 155777.5 (which even has an exact floating point representation) will be rounded to 155778 when converted to a string. - output will be presented in scientific notation when the normalized form requires a 10^x multiplier. Not a huge deal, but arguably less readable for command-line arguments. - due to using scientific notation for numbers requiring more than 6 significant figures, instead of hard-defined decimal places, it fails a lot of the test-visitor-serialization unit tests for floats. Instead, let's just use %f, which is what the QJSON and the QMP visitors use. Signed-off-by: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de>
2012-02-21qapi: add string-based visitorsPaolo Bonzini1-0/+89
String based visitors provide a consistent interface for parsing strings to C values, as well as consuming C values as strings. They will be used to parse command-line options. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
