[PATCH 10/19] qapi/schema: make QAPISchemaArrayType.element_type non-Optional
Posted by John Snow 1 year ago
This field should always be present and defined. Change this to be a
runtime @property that can emit an error if it's called prior to
check().

This helps simplify typing by avoiding the need to interrogate the value
for None at multiple callsites.

RFC: Yes, this is a slightly different technique than the one I used for
QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember.type; I think I prefer this one as being a
little less hokey, but it is more SLOC. Dealer's choice for which style
wins out -- now you have an example of both.

In PATCH 04.

Thanks for letting us see both.

I believe all the extra lines accomplish is a different exception
RuntimeError with a custom message vs. plain AttributeError.

I don't think the more elaborate exception is worth the extra code.

Hmm, shame. You're the boss :)
