2016-02-04qobject: Clean up includesPeter Maydell1-0/+1
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers which it implies are not included manually. This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.

2015-12-17qapi: Convert QType into QAPI built-in enum typeEric Blake1-2/+2
What's more meta than using qapi to define qapi? :) Convert QType into a full-fledged[*] builtin qapi enum type, so that a subsequent patch can then use it as the discriminator type of qapi alternate types. Fortunately, the judicious use of 'prefix' in the qapi definition avoids churn to the spelling of the enum constants. To avoid circular definitions, we have to flip the order of inclusion between "qobject.h" vs. "qapi-types.h". Back in commit 28770e0, we had the latter include the former, so that we could use 'QObject *' for our implementation of 'any'. But that usage also works with only a forward declaration, whereas the definition of QObject requires QType to be a complete type. [*] The type has to be builtin, rather than declared in qapi/common.json, because we want to use it for alternates even when common.json is not included. But since it is the first builtin enum type, we have to add special cases to qapi-types and qapi-visit to only emit definitions once, even when two qapi files are being compiled into the same binary (the way we already handled builtin list types like 'intList'). We may need to revisit how multiple qapi files share common types, but that's a project for another day.

2015-12-17qobject: Simplify QObjectEric Blake1-0/+34
The QObject hierarchy is small enough, and unlikely to grow further (since we only use it to map to JSON and already cover all JSON types), that we can simplify things by not tracking a separate vtable, but just inline the code element of the vtable QType directly into QObject (renamed to type), and track a separate array of destroy functions. We can drop qnull_destroy_obj() in the process. The remaining QObject subclasses must export their destructor. This also has the nice benefit of moving the typename 'QType' out of the way, so that the next patch can repurpose it for a nicer name for 'qtype_code'. The various objects are still the same size (so no change in cache line pressure), but now have less indirection (although I didn't bother benchmarking to see if there is a noticeable speedup, as we don't have hard evidence that this was in a performance hotspot in the first place). A future patch could drop the refcnt size to 32 bits for a smaller struct on 64-bit architectures, if desired (we have limits on the largest JSON that we are willing to parse, and will probably never need to take full advantage of a 64-bit refcnt).
