Rather than making lots of callers wrap a scalar in a QInt, QString,
or QBool, provide helper macros that do the wrapping automatically.
Update the Coccinelle script to make mass conversions easy, although
the conversion itself will be done as a separate patches to ease
review and backport efforts.
Backports commit a92c21591b5bb9543996538f14854ca6b528318b from qemu
The QmpOutputVisitor has no direct dependency on QMP. It is
valid to use it anywhere that one wants a QObject. Rename it
to better reflect its functionality as a generic QAPI
to QObject converter.
The commit before previous renamed the files, this one renames C
identifiers.
Backports commit 7d5e199ade76c53ec316ab6779800581bb47c50a from qemu
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
Now that qbool is fixed, let's fix getting and setting a bool
value to a qdict member to also use C99 bool rather than int.
I audited all callers to ensure that the changed return type
will not cause any changed semantics.
