[edk2-devel] [PATCH v1 7/7] MdePkg: UEFI JSON Capsule Support

Rothman, Michael A michael.a.rothman at intel.com

As a general rule, there are places in the specification where we have had fields like this:

// UINT8 Field[];
} STRUC_NAME;

This has a history because not all the compilers supported compiling a non-commented version of the above field without a warning.

Today, this isn’t the case and I think it is safe (no warnings) to instead have the final parameter without the comment marker. I talked with Kinney to verify this and we believe this should work without any issues, and in fact brings development benefits like being able to reference the field directly and having a valid offset to that field.



Thanks,
Mike Rothman

Hi Oleksiy,
I agree with you that your original code change is good.
But I can’t open the link you posted.
Can you send your new code change here, so that everyone can give their comments.
Thanks
Zhiguang

Hi Zhiguang.

Thank you for your feedback.

Using definition from Spec:
typedef struct {
UINT32 ConfigDataLength;
UINT8 ConfigData[ConfigDataLength];
} EFI_JSON_CONFIG_DATA_ITEM;
will result in build error. You can't use structure field to define array size.
I addressed this issue by commenting out ConfigData, because 3 additional structures, introduced by same mantis use this approach for arrays of unknown size.

But discussing it further with my colleagues here at AMI, we decided that commenting out arrays of unknown size in structures make them harder to use.
So I proposed another approach - use UINT8 ConfigData[]; for this structure and for additional 3 structures introduced by this JSON capsule update feature.

See here:

Mantis 2096<https://mantis.uefi.noclick_org/mantis/view.php?id=2096>

Regards, Oleksiy.

Hi Oleksiy,

The definition of EFI_JSON_CONFIG_DATA_ITEM doesn't totally follow the spec.
It is as below in spec without commenting ConfigData.

typedef struct {
UINT32 ConfigDataLength;
UINT8 ConfigData[ConfigDataLength];
} EFI_JSON_CONFIG_DATA_ITEM;

Can you explain why?

Thanks
Zhiguang

Added Guids and structures, that defines the work flow to perform capsule
update using JSON objects.
