18  * This file describes the callback interface for implementing a QAPI
19  * visitor.  For the client interface, see visitor.h.  When
20  * implementing the callbacks, it is easiest to declare a struct with
21  * 'Visitor visitor;' as the first member.  A callback's contract
22  * matches the corresponding public functions' contract unless stated
23  * otherwise.  In the comments below, some callbacks are marked "must
24  * be set for $TYPE visits to work"; if a visitor implementation omits
25  * that callback, it should also document that it is only useful for a
26  * subset of QAPI.

30  * There are four classes of visitors; setting the class determines
31  * how QAPI enums are visited, as well as what additional restrictions
32  * can be asserted.  The values are intentionally chosen so as to
33  * permit some assertions based on whether a given bit is set (that
34  * is, some assertions apply to input and clone visitors, some
35  * assertions apply to output and clone visitors).
