Subject: [Socratic RFC PATCH] include: attempt to document device_class_set_props
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 14:15:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230327131543.2857052-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)

I'm still not sure how I achieve by use case of the parent class
defining the following properties:

  static Property vud_properties[] = {
      DEFINE_PROP_CHR("chardev", VHostUserDevice, chardev),
      DEFINE_PROP_UINT16("id", VHostUserDevice, id, 0),
      DEFINE_PROP_UINT32("num_vqs", VHostUserDevice, num_vqs, 1),
      DEFINE_PROP_END_OF_LIST(),
  };

But for the specialisation of the class I want the id to default to
the actual device id, e.g.:

  static Property vu_rng_properties[] = {
      DEFINE_PROP_UINT16("id", VHostUserDevice, id, VIRTIO_ID_RNG),
      DEFINE_PROP_UINT32("num_vqs", VHostUserDevice, num_vqs, 1),
      DEFINE_PROP_END_OF_LIST(),
  };

And so far the API for doing that isn't super clear.
