ok, I found them, they are not part of qdev but only in qom. they look like this: object_property_set_link(OBJECT(ds), OBJECT(s), "dma", &local_err); and apparently they set a string property with the canonical path to the object. why is this preferred to a direct pointer to the object? regards, Liviu
