[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] Allow QOM struct fields to be marked as private

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

This patch series provides infrastructure and documentation
for marking QOM struct fields as private to the class implementation.

Patch 1 is the implementation (which is a trivial five lines!) and
documentation of the code pattern that it's intended to be used with.

Patches 2, 3 and 4 are examples of its use: patch 2 deals with
the ARM GIC classes, as an example of a largish class with some
subclasses. Patches 3 and 4 are conversions of much simpler and
smaller devices, so might be easier to look at first.

A .h file which uses this pattern ends up with half a dozen
extra lines of boilerplate, which is slightly sad but not too
awful. It would be pretty easy to autogenerate (along with the
type macros themselves) if we decided to do that in future, though.

Example of the compiler message if you try to touch a field
which is private:
 arm_gic_kvm.c:559:5: error: ‘iomem’ is deprecated (declared at /root/qemu/include/hw/intc/arm_gic_common.h:105): this field is private [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]


Changes since the RFC back in July last year:
 * name the macro 'qom_private' rather than '__private'
 * redid patch 2 as the GIC code has been rearranged somewhat
 * patches 3 and 4 are new

Peter Maydell (4):
  Provide infrastructure for marking private QOM struct fields
  arm_gic: Use new qom_private macro to mark private fields
  a9scu: Use qom_private to mark private fields
  arm11scu: Use qom_private to mark private fields
