I've never really understood why so much of the cpu selection
logic is deferred to target-*...

 To accomodate this, we use a weak symbol to implement a default version of the
 command that fails with a QERR_NOT_SUPPORTED error code.  Targets can then
 override and implement this command if it makes sense for them.

This is a bit of a weak reason (boom boom!) for requiring a platform
specific thing like weak symbols, though, and it's not how we handle
similar existing cases (eg see the configure/makefile logic for
memory_mapping.c vs memory_mapping-stub.c).

If having separate configure/make stuff for each of these things
sounds a bit heavyweight, we could just have a target-stubs.c which
#includes cpu.h and has a lot of
#ifndef TARGET_QUERY_CPUDEFS
[stub version]
#endif
#ifndef TARGET_GET_MEMORY_MAPPING
[stub version]
#endif

etc.

[libvirt] [PATCH 5/7] qapi: add query-cpudefs command

2012-07-27 Thread Anthony Liguori
This command attempts to map to the behavior of -cpu ?.  Unfortunately, the
output of this command differs wildly across targets.

To accomodate this, we use a weak symbol to implement a default version of the
command that fails with a QERR_NOT_SUPPORTED error code.  Targets can then
override and implement this command if it makes sense for them.

We are inconsistent in this file whether to use '1.2.0' or just '1.2';
probably worth a followup patch to clean whichever version is deemed
inappropriate.

I though QMP favored English words, as in 'query-cpu-definitions'
