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. There is no equivalent to object_property_del() provided, since classes must be immutable once they are defined. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
