This series enables QOM super class access and demostrates some usages. Replaces the save->override->call via FooClass technique, to reduce some of the boiler plate in recently fully QOMified devices. Applied the change to ARM CPU, MB CPU and some of Andreas's recently QOMified i386 devices, all which have the save->override->call issue. ARMCPU I've done a brief test on and seems to work. ARM CPU was particularly difficult, as it has 3 layers of heirachy, where a non-concrete class (TYPE_ARM_CPU) need to super class itself (to TYPE_CPU). This sees the need for super-classers to specify their expected base class level. See patches for illustration. The main future work to the series is to apply the change pattern to the reset of the tree Peter Crosthwaite (7): target-arm/cpu.c: delete un-needed instance/class sizes qom: Add super class accessor qdev-core: Introduce DEVICE super class cast macros qom/cpu: Introduce CPU super class cast macros target-arm: Remove ARMCPUClass target-microblaze: Remove MicroblazeCPUClass i8254: Remove [KVM]PITClass hw/i386/kvm/i8254.c | 17 ++--------------- hw/timer/i8254.c | 16 ++-------------- include/hw/qdev-core.h | 4 ++++ include/qom/cpu.h | 4 ++++ include/qom/object.h | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ qom/object.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ target-arm/cpu-qom.h | 20 -------------------- target-arm/cpu.c | 16 +++++----------- target-microblaze/cpu-qom.h | 20 -------------------- target-microblaze/cpu.c | 13 ++++--------- 10 files changed, 54 insertions(+), 89 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.rc1.44.gb387c77.dirty
