The latter walk starts at @obj. 28 * 29 * visit_type_FOO() creates a QObject for QAPI type FOO. It creates a 30 * QDict for struct/union types, a QList for list types, QString for 31 * type 'str' and enumeration types, QNum for integer and float 32 * types, QBool for type 'bool'. For type 'any', it increments the 33 * QObject's reference count. For QAPI alternate types, it creates 34 * the QObject for the member that is in use. 35 * 36 * visit_start_struct() ... visit_end_struct() visits a QAPI 37 * struct/union and creates a QDict. Visits in between visit the 38 * members. visit_optional() is true when the struct/union has this 39 * member. visit_check_struct() does nothing. 40 * 41 * visit_start_list() ... visit_end_list() visits a QAPI list and 42 * creates a QList. Visits in between visit list members, one after 43 * the other. visit_next_list() returns NULL when all QAPI list 44 * members have been visited. visit_check_list() does nothing. 45 * 46 * visit_start_alternate() ... visit_end_alternate() visits a QAPI 47 * alternate. The visit in between creates the QObject for the 48 * alternate member that is in use. 49 * 50 * Errors are not expected to happen. 51 * 52 * The caller is responsible for freeing the visitor with 53 * visit_free(). 54 */ 55Visitor *qobject_output_visitor_new(QObject **result); 56 57void qobject_output_visitor_set_policy(Visitor *v, 58 CompatPolicyOutput deprecated); 59 60#endif
