From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berra...@redhat.com> When creating new QOM types, there is a lot of boilerplate code that must be repeated using a standard pattern. This is tedious to write and liable to suffer from subtle inconsistencies. Thus it would benefit from some simple automation.
QOM was loosely inspired by GLib's GObject, and indeed GObject suffers from the same burden of boilerplate code, but has long provided a set of macros to eliminate this burden in the source implementation. More recently it has also provided a set of macros to eliminate this burden in the header declaration. In GLib there are the G_DECLARE_* and G_DEFINE_* family of macros for the header declaration and source implementation respectively: https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/chapter-gobject.html https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/howto-gobject.html This patch takes inspiration from GObject to provide the equivalent functionality for QOM. In the header file, instead of: typedef struct MyDevice MyDevice; typedef struct MyDeviceClass MyDeviceClass; G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC(MyDeviceClass, object_unref) #define MY_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(void *obj) \ OBJECT_GET_CLASS(MyDeviceClass, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE) #define MY_DEVICE_CLASS(void *klass) \ OBJECT_CLASS_CHECK(MyDeviceClass, klass, TYPE_MY_DEVICE) #define MY_DEVICE(void *obj) OBJECT_CHECK(MyDevice, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE) struct MyDeviceClass { DeviceClass parent_class; }; We now have OBJECT_DECLARE_SIMPLE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE) In cases where the class needs some virtual methods, it can be left to be implemented manually using OBJECT_DECLARE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE) Note that these macros are including support for g_autoptr() for the object types, which is something previously only supported for variables declared as the base Object * type. Meanwhile in the source file, instead of: static void my_device_finalize(Object *obj); static void my_device_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data); static void my_device_init(Object *obj); static const TypeInfo my_device_info = { .parent = TYPE_DEVICE, .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE, .instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice), .instance_init = my_device_init, .instance_finalize = my_device_finalize, .class_size = sizeof(MyDeviceClass), .class_init = my_device_class_init, }; static void my_device_register_types(void) { type_register_static(&my_device_info); } type_init(my_device_register_types); We now have OBJECT_DEFINE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE) Or, if a class needs to implement interfaces: OBJECT_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_INTERFACES(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE, { TYPE_USER_CREATABLE }, { NULL }) Or, if a class needs to be abstract OBJECT_DEFINE_ABSTRACT_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE) IOW, in both cases the maintainer now only has to think about the interesting part of the code which implements useful functionality and avoids much of the boilerplate.
