When debugging QEMU it is often useful to put a breakpoint on the
error_setg_internal method impl.
Unfortunately the object_property_add / object_class_property_add
methods call object_property_find / object_class_property_find methods
to check if a property exists already before adding the new property.
As a result there are a huge number of calls to error_setg_internal
on startup of most QEMU commands, making it very painful to set a
breakpoint on this method.
Most callers of object_find_property and object_class_find_property,
however, pass in a NULL for the Error parameter. This simplifies the
methods to remove the Error parameter entirely, and then adds some
new wrapper methods that are able to raise an Error when needed.

When creating new QOM types, there is a lot of boilerplate code that
must be repeated using a standard pattern. This is tedious to write
and liable to suffer from subtle inconsistencies. Thus it would
benefit from some simple automation.
QOM was loosely inspired by GLib's GObject, and indeed GObject suffers
from the same burden of boilerplate code, but has long provided a set of
macros to eliminate this burden in the source implementation. More
recently it has also provided a set of macros to eliminate this burden
in the header declaration.
In GLib there are the G_DECLARE_* and G_DEFINE_* family of macros
for the header declaration and source implementation respectively:
https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/chapter-gobject.htmlhttps://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/howto-gobject.html
This patch takes inspiration from GObject to provide the equivalent
functionality for QOM.
In the header file, instead of:
typedef struct MyDevice MyDevice;
typedef struct MyDeviceClass MyDeviceClass;
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC(MyDeviceClass, object_unref)
#define MY_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(void *obj) \
OBJECT_GET_CLASS(MyDeviceClass, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
#define MY_DEVICE_CLASS(void *klass) \
OBJECT_CLASS_CHECK(MyDeviceClass, klass, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
#define MY_DEVICE(void *obj)
OBJECT_CHECK(MyDevice, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
struct MyDeviceClass {
DeviceClass parent_class;
};
We now have
OBJECT_DECLARE_SIMPLE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE)
In cases where the class needs some virtual methods, it can be left
to be implemented manually using
OBJECT_DECLARE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE)
Note that these macros are including support for g_autoptr() for the
object types, which is something previously only supported for variables
declared as the base Object * type.
Meanwhile in the source file, instead of:
static void my_device_finalize(Object *obj);
static void my_device_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data);
static void my_device_init(Object *obj);
static const TypeInfo my_device_info = {
.parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
.name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE,
.instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice),
.instance_init = my_device_init,
.instance_finalize = my_device_finalize,
.class_size = sizeof(MyDeviceClass),
.class_init = my_device_class_init,
};
static void
my_device_register_types(void)
{
type_register_static(&my_device_info);
}
type_init(my_device_register_types);
We now have
OBJECT_DEFINE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE)
Or, if a class needs to implement interfaces:
OBJECT_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_INTERFACES(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE,
{ TYPE_USER_CREATABLE }, { NULL })
Or, if a class needs to be abstract
OBJECT_DEFINE_ABSTRACT_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE)
IOW, in both cases the maintainer now only has to think about the
interesting part of the code which implements useful functionality
and avoids much of the boilerplate.

The object_ref/unref methods are intended for use with any subclass of
the base Object. Using "Object *" in the signature is not adding any
meaningful level of type safety, since callers simply use "OBJECT(ptr)"
and this expands to an unchecked cast "(Object *)".
By using "void *" we enable the object_unref() method to be used to
provide support for g_autoptr() with any subclass.

object_property_add() does not allow object_property_try_add()
to gracefully fail as &error_abort is passed as an error handle.
However such failure can easily be triggered from the QMP shell when,
for instance, one attempts to create an object with an id that already
exists. This is achieved from the following call path:
qmp_object_add -> user_creatable_add_dict -> user_creatable_add_type ->
object_property_add_child -> object_property_add
For instance, from the qmp-shell, call twice:
object-add qom-type=memory-backend-ram id=mem1 props.size=1073741824
and QEMU aborts.
This behavior is undesired as a user/management application mistake
in reusing a property ID shouldn't result in loss of the VM and live
data within.
This patch introduces a new function, object_property_try_add_child()
which takes an error handle and turn object_property_try_add() into
a non-static one.
Now the call path becomes:
user_creatable_add_type -> object_property_try_add_child ->
object_property_try_add
and the error is returned gracefully to the QMP client.
(QEMU) object-add qom-type=memory-backend-ram id=mem2 props.size=4294967296

The only way object_property_add() can fail is when a property with
the same name already exists. Since our property names are all
hardcoded, failure is a programming error, and the appropriate way to
handle it is passing &error_abort.
Same for its variants, except for object_property_add_child(), which
additionally fails when the child already has a parent. Parentage is
also under program control, so this is a programming error, too.
We have a bit over 500 callers. Almost half of them pass
&error_abort, slightly fewer ignore errors, one test case handles
errors, and the remaining few callers pass them to their own callers.
The previous few commits demonstrated once again that ignoring
programming errors is a bad idea.
Of the few ones that pass on errors, several violate the Error API.
The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a
pointer to a variable containing NULL. Passing an argument of the
latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the
first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second
call. ich9_pm_add_properties(), sparc32_ledma_realize(),
sparc32_dma_realize(), xilinx_axidma_realize(), xilinx_enet_realize()
are wrong that way.
When the one appropriate choice of argument is &error_abort, letting
users pick the argument is a bad idea.
Drop parameter @errp and assert the preconditions instead.
There's one exception to "duplicate property name is a programming
error": the way object_property_add() implements the magic (and
undocumented) "automatic arrayification". Don't drop @errp there.
Instead, rename object_property_add() to object_property_try_add(),
and add the obvious wrapper object_property_add().

is not found.
There are 85 calls of object_property_set_description() and

* 84 immediately follow the creation of the property.
* The one in spapr_rng_instance_init() refers to a property created in

Every one of them still gets to decide what to pass for @errp.
51 calls pass &error_abort, 32 calls pass NULL, one receives the error

&error_fatal. I'm actually surprised none of them violates the Error

What are we gaining by letting callers handle the "property not found"
error? Use when the property is not known to exist is simpler: you

Traditionally, the uint-specific property helpers only offer getters.
When adding object (or class) uint types, one must therefore use the
generic property helper if a setter is needed (and probably duplicate
some code writing their own getters/setters).
This enhances the uint-specific property helper APIs by adding a
bitwise-or'd 'flags' field and modifying all clients of that API to set
this paramater to OBJ_PROP_FLAG_READ. This maintains the current
behaviour whilst allowing others to also set OBJ_PROP_FLAG_WRITE (or use
the more convenient OBJ_PROP_FLAG_READWRITE) in the future (which will
automatically install a setter). Other flags may be added later.

Add a default value to ObjectProperty and an implementation of
ObjectPropertyInit that uses it. This will make it easier to show the
default in help messages.
Also provide convenience functions object_property_set_default_{bool,
str, int, uint}().

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.

Similar to CPU and machine classes, "-accel" class names are mangled,
so we have to first get a class via accel_find and then instantiate it.
Provide a new function to instantiate a class without going through
object_class_get_name, and use it for CPUs and machines already.

Similar to the existing "-rtc driftfix" option, we will convert some
legacy "-machine" command line options to global properties on accelerators.
Because accelerators are not devices, we cannot use qdev_prop_register_global.
Instead, provide a slot in the generic object_compat_props arrays for
command line syntactic sugar.

Instead of registering compat properties as globals, let's keep them
in their own array, to avoid mixing with user globals.
Introduce object_apply_global_props() function, to apply compatibility
properties from a GPtrArray.

Instead of trying to implement something that isn't well specified,
remove it. (it would be tricky to implement, since a class struct is
memcpy on children types...)
