[Libguestfs] [libnbd PATCH 0/6] finish wrapping generated C code harder

This is the last wave (wave 5). Line length maxima:

  file              before  after
  ----------------  ------  -----
  lib/states-run.c     102     98
  lib/states.c         116     80
  lib/states.h         123     86

The longest line in "lib/states.h" becomes:
> extern int
nbd_internal_enter_STATE_NEWSTYLE_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY_RECV_REPLY_PAYLOAD (
>              struct nbd_handle *h, bool *blocked
>            );
The one in "lib/states-run.c":
>     case STATE_NEWSTYLE_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY_RECV_REPLY_PAYLOAD:
>       r =
nbd_internal_enter_STATE_NEWSTYLE_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY_RECV_REPLY_PAYLOAD (h,
&blocked);
>       break;
We couldn't find a "scalable" approach for shortening these (the
state
machine can be nested indefinitely deeply), so we decided to live with
them.

Thanks
Laszlo
Laszlo Ersek (6):
  state_machine_generator: wrap debug() calls in nbd_internal_run()
  generator/utils: add "pr_wrap_c_comment"
  state_machine_generator: wrap state comments in lib/states.{h,c}
  state_machine_generator: wrap nbd_internal_enter_* prototypes
  state_machine_generator: wrap enter_*() calls and prototypes
  state_machine_generator: rename, and break up the init. of,
    "next_state"

Note: this is the last (aka "only") wrapping-related patch for
"lib/states-run.c". We still have overlong lines, but those come from
generated single-identifier names such as
nbd_internal_enter_STATE_NEWSTYLE_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY_RECV_REPLY_PAYLOAD().
After discussing those with Rich and Eric, we're going to leave them
alone.

Note that some of the modified lines remain longer than 80 characters, but
we'll live with that, as we don't want to change the
"state_enum" field.

(Note that using "pr_wrap" instead of the fixed manual wrapping would
have
both advantages and disadvantages:

- Many state paths (formatted with underscores in "state_name") are
  actually short; "pr_wrap" would keep those enter_*() calls
unchanged.

- A few state paths are extremely long however, and such a path is
  generally unbounded. For example, even the opening parenthesis could be
  in column 80+. That would make "pr_wrap" entirely useless.)

While at it, update the existent manual wrapping for the enter_*()
prototypes as well; that makes the calls and the prototypes look uniform,
plus it actually removes at least one overlong line [lib/states.c]:

For public reference, we considered approaches such as shortening
specific state names:

s/NEWSTYLE/NEW/
s/OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY/OPT_SR/
s/RECV_REPLY_PAYLOAD/RECV_PAYLOAD/

but the more names we change, the more places we have to touch, and it
doesn't alleviate the possibility of future state names being long.

We also considered a different way of writing state names, by
introducing a series of glue macros, where you can then wrap macro
parameters but still generate a long C identifier, something like:

extern int NBD_GLUE4(nbd_internal_enter_STATE, NEWSTYLE,
                     OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY, RECV_REPLY_PAYLOAD) {
...
    case NBD_GLUE4(STATE, NEWSTYLE, OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY,
                   RECV_REPLY_PAYLOAD):

with variations such as writing a variadic macro NBD_GLUE(...) using
__VA_ARGS__ that then dispatches to the correct NBD_GLUE<n> rather
than having to be explicit about it at callsites.  But that hurts
grep'ability when stepping through the state machine in gdb.

For those without explicit comments,

[Libguestfs] [libnbd PATCH 0/6] finish wrapping generated C code harder

It all looks fine to me, barring comments that Eric has already made,
so ACK series.

Thanks,

Rich.
