By moving the base fields to a QObjectBase_, QObject can be a type
which also has a 'base' field. This allows writing a generic QOBJECT()
macro that will work with any QObject type, including QObject
itself. The container_of() macro ensures that the object to cast has a
QObjectBase_ base field, giving some type safety guarantees. QObject
must have no members but QObjectBase_ base, or else QOBJECT() breaks.
QObjectBase_ is not a typedef and uses a trailing underscore to make
it obvious it is not for normal use and to avoid potential abuse.
Backports commit 3d3eacaeccaab718ea0e2ddaa578bfae9e311c59 from qemu
This generic function (along with its implementations for different
types) determines whether two QObjects are equal.
Backports commit b38dd678a21582e03ecd2dec76ccf8290455628a from qemu
This renders many inclusions of qapi/qmp/q*.h superfluous. They'll be
dropped in the next few commits.
Backports commit 9f5c734d591e26186a71f9e36d752f4798df3672 from qemu
In order to store integer values between INT64_MAX and UINT64_MAX, add
a uint64_t internal representation.
Backports commit 61a8f418b26a2d974e38e4ae55020aca8d402d88 from qemu
We would like to use a same QObject type to represent numbers, whether
they are int, uint, or floats. Getters will allow some compatibility
between the various types if the number fits other representations.
Add a few more tests while at it.
