The QObject hierarchy is small enough, and unlikely to grow further
(since we only use it to map to JSON and already cover all JSON
types), that we can simplify things by not tracking a separate
vtable, but just inline the code element of the vtable QType
directly into QObject (renamed to type), and track a separate array
of destroy functions. We can drop qnull_destroy_obj() in the
process.
The remaining QObject subclasses must export their destructor.
This also has the nice benefit of moving the typename 'QType'
out of the way, so that the next patch can repurpose it for a
nicer name for 'qtype_code'.
The various objects are still the same size (so no change in cache
line pressure), but now have less indirection (although I didn't
bother benchmarking to see if there is a noticeable speedup, as
we don't have hard evidence that this was in a performance hotspot
in the first place).
A future patch could drop the refcnt size to 32 bits for a smaller
struct on 64-bit architectures, if desired (we have limits on the
largest JSON that we are willing to parse, and will probably never
need to take full advantage of a 64-bit refcnt).
Backports commit 55e1819c509b3d9c10a54678b9c585bbda13889e from qemu
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.
This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.
Backports commit f2ad72b30e214d1e3e41dba36f855354dfa81832 from qemu
qobject_to_qbool() crashes on null, which is a trap for the unwary.
Return null instead, and simplify a few callers.
Backports commit 14b6160099f0caf5dc9d62e637b007bc5d719a96 from qemu
We require a C99 compiler, so let's use 'bool' instead of 'int'
when dealing with boolean values. There are few enough clients
to fix them all in one pass.
