2 * Parsing KEY=VALUE,... strings
4 * Copyright (C) 2017 Red Hat Inc.

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 defines a tree of objects rooted at R
25 * where for each key-val = key-fragment . ... = val in key-vals
26 * R op key-fragment op ... = val'
27 * where (left-associative) op is member reference L.key-fragment
28 * val' is val with ',,' replaced by ','
29 * and only R may be empty.
31 * Duplicate keys are permitted; all but the last one are ignored.
33 * The equations must have a solution. Counter-example: a.b=1,a=2
34 * doesn't have one, because R.a must be an object to satisfy a.b=1
35 * and a string to satisfy a=2.
37 * The length of any key-fragment must be between 1 and 127.
39 * Design flaw: there is no way to denote an empty non-root object.
40 * While interpreting "key absent" as empty object seems natural
41 * (removing a key-val from the input string removes the member when
42 * there are more, so why not when it's the last), it doesn't work:
43 * "key absent" already means "optional object absent", which isn't
44 * the same as "empty object present".
46 * Additional syntax for use with an implied key:
48 * key-vals-ik = val-no-key [ ',' key-vals ]
49 * val-no-key = / [^=,]* /
51 * where no-key is syntactic sugar for implied-key=val-no-key.
53 * TODO support lists
54 * TODO support key-fragment with __RFQDN_ prefix (downstream extensions)

63 * Ensure @cur maps @key_in_cur the right way.
64 * If @value is null, it needs to map to a QDict, else to this
65 * QString.
66 * If @cur doesn't have @key_in_cur, put an empty QDict or @value,
67 * respectively.
68 * Else, if it needs to map to a QDict, and already does, do nothing.
69 * Else, if it needs to map to this QString, and already maps to a
70 * QString, replace it by @value.
71 * Else, fail because we have conflicting needs on how to map
72 * @key_in_cur.
73 * In any case, take over the reference to @value, i.e. if the caller
74 * wants to hold on to a reference, it needs to QINCREF().
75 * Use @key up to @key_cursor to identify the key in error messages.
76 * On success, return the mapped value.
77 * On failure, store an error through @errp and return NULL.
