making it slower /doesn't matter how much/ when there is better way
to do it.
Anyways the point is moot as Mark rewrote it in another way (better)
so this question won't arise.

I'm typically on the side of simplifying code and readability
but in this case I have to disagree, out of context ^^^ it might
look fine but with full context

 uc = (UserCreatable *)object_dynamic_cast(obj, TYPE_USER_CREATABLE)
 if(uc)
call(uc)

vs

 if(IS_USER_CREATABLE(obj))
   // discard above hidden cast result and do it again
   call(USER_CREATABLE(obj))
  
the former is not horrible enough to warrant doing senseless discard.
So lets agree to disagree :)

How exactly is the code worse?

Readability is orders of magnitude more important to me.

This is not readable:
  (UserCreatable *)object_dynamic_cast(obj, TYPE_USER_CREATABLE)

This is readable:
  USER_CREATABLE(obj)

If the overhead of the extra object_dynamic_cast() call is too
much, it's already possible to disable QOM cast debugging.

This sounds like premature optimization.  Did you measure how
many nanoseconds we're saving per -object option?

I recall penalty was big enough for QEMU, that we added qom debug option,
in case of -object, the cost could be multiplied by hundreds

I hope it's not measurable, unless we create billions of objects. Do
you want some figures?

Yes, imho it's very marginal. Thus I would value more readability.

Alternatively, we can consider replacing
ucc->complete(USER_CREATABLE(obj), errp); by
ucc->complete((UserCreatable*)obj, errp); to get back to the same
number of dynamic_cast calls.

This is called only once for each -object option.  Even if QOM
debugging is enabled by default I don't see why it wouldn't be OK
to call object_dynamic_cast_assert() here.

Isn't it enabled by default though?
Maybe we should flip default to disabled then cast should be ok and enable it
when generic '--debug' is enabled.

(INTERFACE_CHECK is a nop if CONFIG_QOM_CAST_DEBUG is not
enabled, so I don't understand how it would regress startup time.
