This script compares the vmstate dumps in JSON format as output by QEMU with the -dump-vmstate option. It flags various errors, like version mismatch, sections going away, size mismatches, etc. This script is tolerant of a few changes that do not change the on-wire format, like embedding a few fields within substructs. The script takes -s/--src and -d/--dest parameters, to which filenames are given as arguments. Example: (in a qemu 2.0 tree): ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -dump-vmstate qemu-2.0.json (in a qemu 2.2 tree:) ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -dump-vmstate -M pc-i440fx-2.0 \ qemu-2.2-m2.0.json ./scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py -s qemu-2.0.json -d qemu-2.2-m2.0.json The script also takes a --reverse parameter to switch the src and dest jsons. This is just a shorthand for reversing the src and dest. The --help parameter shows usage information.
