//! Bindings to access QOM functionality from Rust.
//!
//! The QEMU Object Model (QOM) provides inheritance and dynamic typing for QEMU
//! devices. This module makes QOM's features available in Rust through three
//! main mechanisms:
//!
//! * Automatic creation and registration of `TypeInfo` for classes that are
//!   written in Rust, as well as mapping between Rust traits and QOM vtables.
//!
//! * Type-safe casting between parent and child classes, through the [`IsA`]
//!   trait and methods such as [`upcast`](ObjectCast::upcast) and
//!   [`downcast`](ObjectCast::downcast).
//!
//! * Automatic delegation of parent class methods to child classes. When a
//!   trait uses [`IsA`] as a bound, its contents become available to all child
//!   classes through blanket implementations. This works both for class methods
//!   and for instance methods accessed through references or smart pointers.
//!
//! # Structure of a class
//!
//! A leaf class only needs a struct holding instance state. The struct must
//! implement the [`ObjectType`] and [`IsA`] traits, as well as any `*Impl`
//! traits that exist for its superclasses.
//!
//! If a class has subclasses, it will also provide a struct for instance data,
//! with the same characteristics as for concrete classes, but it also needs
//! additional components to support virtual methods:
//!
//! * a struct for class data, for example `DeviceClass`. This corresponds to
//!   the C "class struct" and holds the vtable that is used by instances of the
//!   class and its subclasses. It must start with its parent's class struct.
//!
//! * a trait for virtual method implementations, for example `DeviceImpl`.
//!   Child classes implement this trait to provide their own behavior for
//!   virtual methods. The trait's methods take `&self` to access instance data.
//!   The traits have the appropriate specialization of `IsA<>` as a supertrait,
//!   for example `IsA<DeviceState>` for `DeviceImpl`.
//!
//! * a trait for instance methods, for example `DeviceMethods`. This trait is
//!   automatically implemented for any reference or smart pointer to a device
//!   instance.  It calls into the vtable provides access across all subclasses
//!   to methods defined for the class.
//!
//! * optionally, a trait for class methods, for example `DeviceClassMethods`.
//!   This provides access to class-wide functionality that doesn't depend on
//!   instance data. Like instance methods, these are automatically inherited by
//!   child classes.
//!
//! # Class structures
//!
//! Each QOM class that has virtual methods describes them in a
//! _class struct_.  Class structs include a parent field corresponding
//! to the vtable of the parent class, all the way up to [`ObjectClass`].
//!
//! As mentioned above, virtual methods are defined via traits such as
//! `DeviceImpl`.  Class structs do not define any trait but, conventionally,
//! all of them have a `class_init` method to initialize the virtual methods
//! based on the trait and then call the same method on the superclass.
//!
//! ```ignore
//! impl YourSubclassClass
//! {
//!     pub fn class_init<T: YourSubclassImpl>(&mut self) {
//!         ...
//!         klass.parent_class::class_init<T>();
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! If a class implements a QOM interface.  In that case, the function must
//! contain, for each interface, an extra forwarding call as follows:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! ResettableClass::cast::<Self>(self).class_init::<Self>();
//! ```
//!
//! These `class_init` functions are methods on the class rather than a trait,
//! because the bound on `T` (`DeviceImpl` in this case), will change for every
//! class struct.  The functions are pointed to by the
//! [`ObjectImpl::CLASS_INIT`] function pointer. While there is no default
//! implementation, in most cases it will be enough to write it as follows:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! const CLASS_INIT: fn(&mut Self::Class)> = Self::Class::class_init::<Self>;
//! ```
//!
//! This design incurs a small amount of code duplication but, by not using
//! traits, it allows the flexibility of implementing bindings in any crate,
//! without incurring into violations of orphan rules for traits.

/// and `generativity`.
///
/// The `PhantomData` makes the `ParentInit` type *invariant* with respect to

///         let parent_init = Jail(&v, PhantomData);
///         f(parent_init)
///     }
/// }

///
/// It's impossible to escape the `Jail`; `token1` cannot be moved out of the

///
/// ```ignore
/// let x = 42;
/// let escape = Jail::with(&x, |token1| {
///     println!("{}", token1.get());
///     // fails to compile...
///     token1

/// // ... so you cannot do this:

///
