The latter walk starts at @obj. 29 * 30 * visit_type_FOO() creates an instance of QAPI type FOO. The visited 31 * QObject must match FOO. QDict matches struct/union types, QList 32 * matches list types, QString matches type 'str' and enumeration 33 * types, QNum matches integer and float types, QBool matches type 34 * 'bool'. Type 'any' is matched by QObject. A QAPI alternate type 35 * is matched when one of its member types is. 36 * 37 * visit_start_struct() ... visit_end_struct() visits a QDict and 38 * creates a QAPI struct/union. Visits in between visit the 39 * dictionary members. visit_optional() is true when the QDict has 40 * this member. visit_check_struct() fails if unvisited members 41 * remain. 42 * 43 * visit_start_list() ... visit_end_list() visits a QList and creates 44 * a QAPI list.
