40 * @title:Base Object Type System
41 * @short_description: interfaces for creating new types and objects
43 * The QEMU Object Model provides a framework for registering user creatable
44 * types and instantiating objects from those types. QOM provides the following
47 * - System for dynamically registering types
48 * - Support for single-inheritance of types
49 * - Multiple inheritance of stateless interfaces
52 * <title>Creating a minimal type</title>
56 * #define TYPE_MY_DEVICE "my-device"
58 * // No new virtual functions: we can reuse the typedef for the
60 * typedef DeviceClass MyDeviceClass;
61 * typedef struct MyDevice
65 * int reg0, reg1, reg2;
68 * static const TypeInfo my_device_info = {
69 * .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE,
70 * .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
71 * .instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice),
74 * static void my_device_register_types(void)
76 * type_register_static(&my_device_info);
79 * type_init(my_device_register_types)
83 * In the above example, we create a simple type that is described by #TypeInfo.
84 * #TypeInfo describes information about the type including what it inherits
85 * from, the instance and class size, and constructor/destructor hooks.
87 * Every type has an #ObjectClass associated with it. #ObjectClass derivatives
88 * are instantiated dynamically but there is only ever one instance for any
89 * given type. The #ObjectClass typically holds a table of function pointers
90 * for the virtual methods implemented by this type.
92 * Using object_new(), a new #Object derivative will be instantiated. You can
93 * cast an #Object to a subclass (or base-class) type using
94 * object_dynamic_cast(). You typically want to define macro wrappers around
95 * OBJECT_CHECK() and OBJECT_CLASS_CHECK() to make it easier to convert to a
99 * <title>Typecasting macros</title>
101 * #define MY_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(obj) \
102 * OBJECT_GET_CLASS(MyDeviceClass, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
103 * #define MY_DEVICE_CLASS(klass) \
104 * OBJECT_CLASS_CHECK(MyDeviceClass, klass, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
105 * #define MY_DEVICE(obj) \
106 * OBJECT_CHECK(MyDevice, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
110 * # Class Initialization #
112 * Before an object is initialized, the class for the object must be
113 * initialized. There is only one class object for all instance objects
114 * that is created lazily.
116 * Classes are initialized by first initializing any parent classes (if
117 * necessary). After the parent class object has initialized, it will be
118 * copied into the current class object and any additional storage in the
119 * class object is zero filled.
121 * The effect of this is that classes automatically inherit any virtual
122 * function pointers that the parent class has already initialized. All
123 * other fields will be zero filled.
125 * Once all of the parent classes have been initialized, #TypeInfo::class_init
126 * is called to let the class being instantiated provide default initialize for
127 * its virtual functions. Here is how the above example might be modified
128 * to introduce an overridden virtual function:
131 * <title>Overriding a virtual function</title>
135 * void my_device_class_init(ObjectClass *klass, void *class_data)
137 * DeviceClass *dc = DEVICE_CLASS(klass);
138 * dc->reset = my_device_reset;
141 * static const TypeInfo my_device_info = {
142 * .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE,
143 * .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
144 * .instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice),
145 * .class_init = my_device_class_init,
150 * Introducing new virtual methods requires a class to define its own
151 * struct and to add a .class_size member to the #TypeInfo. Each method
152 * will also have a wrapper function to call it easily:
155 * <title>Defining an abstract class</title>
159 * typedef struct MyDeviceClass
161 * DeviceClass parent;
163 * void (*frobnicate) (MyDevice *obj);
166 * static const TypeInfo my_device_info = {
167 * .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE,
168 * .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
169 * .instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice),
170 * .abstract = true, // or set a default in my_device_class_init
171 * .class_size = sizeof(MyDeviceClass),
174 * void my_device_frobnicate(MyDevice *obj)
176 * MyDeviceClass *klass = MY_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(obj);
178 * klass->frobnicate(obj);
185 * Interfaces allow a limited form of multiple inheritance. Instances are
186 * similar to normal types except for the fact that are only defined by
187 * their classes and never carry any state. You can dynamically cast an object
188 * to one of its #Interface types and vice versa.
192 * A <emphasis>method</emphasis> is a function within the namespace scope of
193 * a class. It usually operates on the object instance by passing it as a
194 * strongly-typed first argument.
195 * If it does not operate on an object instance, it is dubbed
196 * <emphasis>class method</emphasis>.
198 * Methods cannot be overloaded. That is, the #ObjectClass and method name
199 * uniquely identity the function to be called; the signature does not vary
200 * except for trailing varargs.
202 * Methods are always <emphasis>virtual</emphasis>. Overriding a method in
203 * #TypeInfo.class_init of a subclass leads to any user of the class obtained
204 * via OBJECT_GET_CLASS() accessing the overridden function.
205 * The original function is not automatically invoked. It is the responsibility
206 * of the overriding class to determine whether and when to invoke the method
209 * To invoke the method being overridden, the preferred solution is to store
210 * the original value in the overriding class before overriding the method.
211 * This corresponds to |[ {super,base}.method(...) ]| in Java and C#
212 * respectively; this frees the overriding class from hardcoding its parent
213 * class, which someone might choose to change at some point.
