PATCH 1/1 qapi: Reduce Makefile boilerplate

Adding a new qapi module had some rather tedious repetition to wire it into Makefile. Add some indirection by taking advantage of GNU Make string processing to expand a list of module names into all the required artifacts, so that future additions of a new module need only touch the list of module names.

---

I finally found time to follow through with my threats to make it MUCH easier to add a new qapi/FOO.json file.

Should be no semantic change, but as it is not fixing an actual bug, I don't care if it goes in 3.1 or 4.0.

Should be no semantic change, but as it is not fixing an actual bug, I don't care if it goes in 3.1 or 4.0.

  Makefile | 194 +++++++------------------------------------------------

I'm trying to do the same thing to Makefile.objs, but when I use:

common-obj-y += $(QAPI_MODULES:%=qapi/qapi-commands-%.o)

or the longer $(patsubst %,qapi,qapi-commands-%.o,$(QAPI_MODULES))

both before and after the change, 'make print-common-obj-y | grep qapi' returns identical content, but after the change, the linker fails with:

LINK x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64
monitor.o: In function `monitor_init_qmp_commands':
/home/eblake/qemu/monitor.c:1200: undefined reference to qmp_marshal_qmp_capabilities' monitor.o: In function qmp_greeting':
/home/eblake/qemu/monitor.c:4342: undefined reference to qmp_marshal_query_version' ../qapi/qapi-commands.o: In function qmp_init_marshal':
/home/eblake/qemu/qapi/qapi-commands.c:30: undefined reference to `qmp_marshal_query_status'
...

So something about variable expansions is NOT playing nicely with our

dummy := $(call unnest-vars,, \
                stub-obj-y \
                chardev-obj-y \
...
                common-obj-y \

that builds up the set of files the linker needs to see. But I have _no_ idea what is going wrong that makes unnest-vars unable to see through a variable expansion of .o files. Ideas on how to compress Makefile.objs to avoid the redundancy would be appreciated.

Aha - the problem is that $(QAPI_MODULES) is empty at the time unnest-vars tries to slurp in Makefile.objs, while it was non-empty at the time that Makefile directly includes it. Moving the definition of QAPI_MODULES into Makefile.objs solves that. v2 coming up.
