You're right, I noticed that compiling with make was removing my
modifications.
I ended up modifying the qapi-schema.json .
May I advise to move the generated .c and .h files into a generated/
folder ?
Thank you Thomas.

Hello.
The .gitignore in the master branch contains the following lines :
/qapi-types.[ch]
/qapi-visit.[ch]
/qapi-event.[ch]
Why is it so ? Are they generated automatically each time I compile the
project ?
I am modifying qapi-types.h and qapi-types.c , am I doing wrong ?
Yes, they are created automatically and you should not edit them
manually. Just have a look at the main Makefile:
qapi-modules = $(SRC_PATH)/qapi-schema.json $(SRC_PATH)/qapi/common.json \
$(SRC_PATH)/qapi/block.json $(SRC_PATH)/qapi/block-core.json \
$(SRC_PATH)/qapi/event.json
qapi-types.c qapi-types.h :\
$(qapi-modules) $(SRC_PATH)/scripts/qapi-types.py $(qapi-py)
$(call quiet-command,$(PYTHON) $(SRC_PATH)/scripts/qapi-types.py \
$(gen-out-type) -o "." -b -i $<, \
" GEN $@")
So if you want to change something in this area, you likely have to
touch the *.json files instead.
