If the 19 * reference is strong, you are responsible for calling 20 * qobject_unref() on the reference when you are done. 21 * 22 * If the reference is weak, the owner of the reference may free it at 23 * any time in the future. Before storing the reference anywhere, you 24 * should call qobject_ref() to make the reference strong. 25 * 26 * - Transferring ownership: when you transfer ownership of a reference 27 * by calling a function, you are no longer responsible for calling 28 * qobject_unref() when the reference is no longer needed. In other words, 29 * when the function returns you must behave as if the reference to the 30 * passed object was weak. 31 */ 32 #ifndef QOBJECT_H 33 #define QOBJECT_H 34 35 #include "qapi/qapi-builtin-types.h" 36 37 /* Not for use outside include/qapi/qmp/ */ 38 struct QObjectBase_ { 39 QType type; 40 size_t refcnt; 41 }; 42 43 /* this struct must have no other members than base */ 44 struct QObject { 45 struct QObjectBase_ base; 46 }; 47 48 #define QOBJECT(obj) ({ \ 49 typeof(obj) _obj = (obj); \ 50 _obj ? container_of(&(_obj)->base, QObject, base) : NULL; \ 51 }) 52 53 /* Required for qobject_to() */ 54 #define QTYPE_CAST_TO_QNull QTYPE_QNULL 55 #define QTYPE_CAST_TO_QNum QTYPE_QNUM 56 #define QTYPE_CAST_TO_QString QTYPE_QSTRING 57 #define QTYPE_CAST_TO_QDict QTYPE_QDICT 58 #define QTYPE_CAST_TO_QList QTYPE_QLIST 59 #define QTYPE_CAST_TO_QBool QTYPE_QBOOL 60 61 QEMU_BUILD_BUG_MSG(QTYPE__MAX != 7, 62 "The QTYPE_CAST_TO_* list needs to be extended"); 63 64 #define qobject_to(type, obj) \ 65 ((type *)qobject_check_type(obj, glue(QTYPE_CAST_TO_, type))) 66 67 static inline void qobject_ref_impl(QObject *obj) 68 { 69 if (obj) { 70 obj->base.refcnt++; 71 } 72 } 73 74 /** 75 * qobject_is_equal(): Return whether the two objects are equal. 76 * 77 * Any of the pointers may be NULL; return true if both are.
