Please disregard this patch. object_property_get_link() works for this 
purpose.

Thanks for the advice.



Your patch is doing too many things at once. Please split it up into a
series of easily digestable and bisectable patches, e.g.:
* ..._PREFIX/SUFFIX introduction and use in _add_child/link,
* ..._is_child/_is_link introduction and use in
_property_del_child/_get_canonical_path/_resolve_partial_path,
* link_type_to_type() and use in _set_link_property,
* REPORT_OBJECT_ERROR(),
* object_property_get_child().


OK


+/* Go from LINK_PROPERTY_TYPE_PREFIX FOO LINK_PROPERTY_TYPE_SUFFIX to
FOO.  */
+static gchar *link_type_to_type(const gchar *type)
+{
+return g_strndup(type[sizeof(LINK_PROPERTY_TYPE_PREFIX) - 1],
+ strlen(type)
+ - (sizeof(LINK_PROPERTY_TYPE_PREFIX) - 1)
+ - (sizeof(LINK_PROPERTY_TYPE_SUFFIX) - 1));

Any reason not to use strlen()? I don't think this is a hot path, and
repeated sizeof() - 1 does not read so nice. The alternative would be to
hardcode the offsets.


I replaced 5 (i.e. the length link) with 
sizeof(LINK_PROPERTY_TYPE_PREFIX) - 1.

If we assume that strlen(link) is always optimized away,
then certainly using strlen is equivalent and looks better.

 Add object_property_get_child().
 
 Adding a direct accessor to a child property.
 
 In the existing implementation, object_property_get() must be used,
 with with a visitor, implementing the 'type_str' callback,
 receiving the child's canonical path.
 
 In the new implementation, the child is returned directly.
 For link properties, object_property_get_link() is used
 to resolve the link.
 
 Also, in the new implementation, object_property_get_child() is used
 as a subroutine of object_resolve_abs_path(). This changes the way
 object_resolve_abs_path() operates, moving away from directly peeking
 the property's 'opaque' field to using object_property_get_link().
 
 Thus, in the mew implementation link properties are resolved in the
 same way,
 as they are when an absolute path is resolved.
 
 Errors relevant to the operation, QERR_OBJECT_PROPERTY_NOT_FOUND
 and QERR_OBJECT_PROPERTY_INVALID_TYPE were added.
 
 Also, in the new implementation, some common sense refactoring was done
 in the file 'qom/object.c' in the code extracting child and link
 properties.

gcc will optimise away strlen(constant string) at compile time anyway,
so there really is no need to avoid it.
