439 * parent object.
440 * @instance_align: The required alignment of the object. If @instance_align
441 * is 0, then normal malloc alignment is sufficient; if non-zero, then we
442 * must use qemu_memalign for allocation.
443 * @instance_init: This function is called to initialize an object. The parent
444 * class will have already been initialized so the type is only responsible
445 * for initializing its own members.
446 * @instance_post_init: This function is called to finish initialization of
447 * an object, after all @instance_init functions were called.
448 * @instance_finalize: This function is called during object destruction. This
449 * is called before the parent @instance_finalize function has been called.

451 * function.
452 * @abstract: If this field is true, then the class is considered abstract and
453 * cannot be directly instantiated.
454 * @class_size: The size of the class object (derivative of #ObjectClass)
455 * for this object. If @class_size is 0, then the size of the class will be
456 * assumed to be the size of the parent class. This allows a type to avoid
457 * implementing an explicit class type if they are not adding additional
458 * virtual functions.
459 * @class_init: This function is called after all parent class initialization
460 * has occurred to allow a class to set its default virtual method pointers.
461 * This is also the function to use to override virtual methods from a parent
462 * class.
463 * @class_base_init: This function is called for all base classes after all
464 * parent class initialization has occurred, but before the class itself
465 * is initialized. This is the function to use to undo the effects of
466 * memcpy from the parent class to the descendants.
467 * @class_data: Data to pass to the @class_init,
468 * @class_base_init. This can be useful when building dynamic
469 * classes.
470 * @interfaces: The list of interfaces associated with this type. This
471 * should point to a static array that's terminated with a zero filled
472 * element.
