Hmm, I don't have to use the generated marshaller, right? With direct access to the QDict I could just transform it into a QemuOpts. A new parameter wouldn't need code changes then. And the code would be reusable and probably also be simpler. The qapi schema still needs an update though. HMP is more tricky, but I think we should sort QMP first. cheers, Gerd
