Realize probably should be folded into Object or some intermediate object. The idea is that there will be a realized boolean property. When the level changes, it will invoke a realize() or unrealize() method depending on the direction. DeviceState will implement realize() and invoke init(). For unrealize(), it will invoke exit(). > For virtual methods Anthony outlined the intended scheme here: > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-02/msg00622.html > (Derived classes should save the parent's function pointer in their own > Class and initialize it from the parent class' function pointer.) > > Another topic that can be answered by email is what the time planning > for the 4th QOM series looks like.
