This would also mean that reference counting should be revisited
although with how dereferencing a parent affects the child.
It's not rocket science, but it's also something that needs to be done
carefully.
But all this is only a problem for these three here (PIT, RTC, HPET) as
their objects shall be embedded into the super-IO. If you only embed an
object pointer, it shouldn't be an issue anymore, no?
The reference counting stuff obviously needs to be looked at even in this case.
Also inheritance is not a problem here as we do not derive from the
three types in question. If there is a super/sub-class relation, those
need to share an internal header, of course.
Yes, but then you have two headers for every type. Is that really a good thing?
I think I prefer to just mark fields as /*< private >*/ and scold people if they
violate that convention.
