QOM interfaces allow a limited form of multiple inheritance, at the
condition of being stateless. That is, they cannot be instantiated
and a pointer to an interface shouldn't be dereferenceable in any way.
This is achieved by making the QOM instance type an incomplete type,
which is, as mentioned by Markus Armbruster, the closest you can get
to abstract class in C.
Incomplete types are widely used to hide implementation details, but
people usually expect to find at least one place where the type is
fully defined. The fact that it doesn't happen with QOM interfaces is
quite disturbing, especially since it isn't documented anywhere as
recently discussed in this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-12/msg01579.html
Amend the documentation in the object.h header file to provide more
details about why and how to implement QOM interfaces using incomplete
types.

A lot of code is using the object_initialize() function followed by a call
to object_property_add_child() to add the newly initialized object as a child
of the current object. Both functions increase the reference counter of the
new object, but many spots that call these two functions then forget to drop
one of the superfluous references. So the newly created object is often not
cleaned up correctly when the parent is destroyed. In the worst case, this
can cause crashes, e.g. because device objects are not correctly removed from
their parent_bus.
Since this is a common pattern between many code spots, let's introduce a
new function that takes care of calling all three required initialization
functions, first object_initialize(), then object_property_add_child() and
finally object_unref(). And since the function does a similar job like
object_new_with_props(), also allow to set additional properties via
varargs, and use user_creatable_complete() to make sure that the functions
can be used similarly.
And while we're at object.h, also fix some copy-n-paste errors in the
comments there ("to store the area" --> "to store the error").

A link property can be set during creation, with

set_link() does.
Furthemore, OBJ_PROP_LINK_UNREF_ON_RELEASE flags, set during add_link,
says whether a reference must be released when the property is destroyed.
This can lead to leaks if the property was later set_link(), as the

There is already 'device-list-properties' which does most of the job,
however it does not handle everything returned by qom-list-types such

It does not handle abstract classes either.
This adds a new qom-list-properties command which prints properties
of a specific class and its instance. It is pretty much a simplified copy
of the device-list-properties handler.
Since it creates an object instance, device properties should appear
in the output as they are copied to QOM properties at the instance_init
hook.
This adds a object_class_property_iter_init() helper to allow class
properties enumeration uses it in the new QMP command to allow properties

possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all

qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

When there are many instances of a given class, registering
properties against the instance is wasteful of resources. The
majority of objects have a statically defined list of possible
properties, so most of the properties are easily registerable
against the class. Only those properties which are conditionally
registered at runtime need be recorded against the klass.
Registering properties against classes also makes it possible
to provide static introspection of QOM - currently introspection
is only possible after creating an instance of a class, which
severely limits its usefulness.
This impl only supports simple scalar properties. It does not
attempt to allow child object / link object properties against
the class. There are ways to support those too, but it would
make this patch more complicated, so it is left as an exercise
for the future.

ARM GICv3 systems with large number of CPUs create lots of IRQ pins. Since
every pin is represented as a property, number of these properties becomes
very large. Every property add first makes sure there's no duplicates.
Traversing the list becomes very slow, therefore QEMU initialization takes
significant time (several seconds for e. g. 16 CPUs).
This patch replaces list with GHashTable, making lookup very fast. The only
drawback is that object_child_foreach() and object_child_foreach_recursive()
cannot add or remove properties during traversal, since GHashTableIter does
not have modify-safe version. However, the code seems not to modify objects

A QOM property can be parsed as enum using the visit_type_enum()
helper function, but this forces callers to use the more complex
generic object_property_add() method when registering it. It
also requires that users of that object have access to the
string map when they want to read the property value.
This patch introduces a specialized object_property_add_enum()
method which simplifies the use of enum properties, so the
setters/getters directly get passed the int value.
typedef enum {
MYDEV_TYPE_FROG,
MYDEV_TYPE_ALLIGATOR,
MYDEV_TYPE_PLATYPUS,
MYDEV_TYPE_LAST
} MyDevType;
Then provide a table of enum <-> string mappings
static const char *const mydevtypemap[MYDEV_TYPE_LAST + 1] = {
[MYDEV_TYPE_FROG] = "frog",
[MYDEV_TYPE_ALLIGATOR] = "alligator",
[MYDEV_TYPE_PLATYPUS] = "platypus",
[MYDEV_TYPE_LAST] = NULL,
};
Assuming an object struct of
typedef struct {
Object parent_obj;
MyDevType devtype;
...other fields...
} MyDev;
The property can then be registered as follows:
static int mydev_prop_get_devtype(Object *obj,
Error **errp G_GNUC_UNUSED)
{
MyDev *dev = MYDEV(obj);
return dev->devtype;
}
static void mydev_prop_set_devtype(Object *obj,
int value,
Error **errp G_GNUC_UNUSED)
{
MyDev *dev = MYDEV(obj);
dev->devtype = value;
}
object_property_add_enum(obj, "devtype",
mydevtypemap, "MyDevType",
mydev_prop_get_devtype,
mydev_prop_set_devtype,
NULL);

It is reasonably common to want to create an object, set a
number of properties, register it in the hierarchy and then
mark it as complete (if a user creatable type). This requires
quite a lot of error prone, verbose, boilerplate code to achieve.
First a pair of functions object_set_props() / object_set_propv()
are added which allow for a list of objects to be set in
one single API call.
Then object_new_with_props() / object_new_with_propv() constructors
are added which simplify the sequence of calls to create an
object, populate properties, register in the object composition
tree and mark the object complete, into a single method call.
Usage would be:
Error *err = NULL;
Object *obj;
obj = object_new_with_propv(TYPE_MEMORY_BACKEND_FILE,
object_get_objects_root(),
"hostmem0",
&err,
"share", "yes",
"mem-path", "/dev/shm/somefile",
"prealloc", "yes",
"size", "1048576",
