22 * Create a QObject output visitor for @obj
24 * A QObject output visitor visit builds a QObject from QAPI Object.
25 * This simultaneously walks the QAPI object and the QObject being
26 * built. The latter walk starts at @obj.
28 * visit_type_FOO() creates a QObject for QAPI type FOO. It creates a
29 * QDict for struct/union types, a QList for list types, QString for
30 * type 'str' and enumeration types, QNum for integer and float
31 * types, QBool for type 'bool'. For type 'any', it increments the
32 * QObject's reference count. For QAPI alternate types, it creates
33 * the QObject for the member that is in use.
35 * visit_start_struct() ... visit_end_struct() visits a QAPI
36 * struct/union and creates a QDict. Visits in between visit the
37 * members. visit_optional() is true when the struct/union has this
38 * member. visit_check_struct() does nothing.
40 * visit_start_list() ... visit_end_list() visits a QAPI list and
41 * creates a QList. Visits in between visit list members, one after
42 * the other. visit_next_list() returns NULL when all QAPI list
43 * members have been visited. visit_check_list() does nothing.
45 * visit_start_alternate() ... visit_end_alternate() visits a QAPI
46 * alternate. The visit in between creates the QObject for the
47 * alternate member that is in use.
49 * Errors are not expected to happen.
51 * The caller is responsible for freeing the visitor with
52 * visit_free().
