fwiw, I have started tackling that. Easy first step is to move all QDev properties to class properties, and this is done in : https://patchew.org/QEMU/20200110153039.1379601-1-marcandre.lur...@redhat.com/ Moving from instance to class properties is straightforward many times (when the property is unconditonally added in instance init for example). There are a few complicated cases though. To me, the most problematic is reviewer-time and willingness to do such low-benefits changes. > Basing the QAPI language on JSON was a poor choice.
