These patches apply on top of qemu.git master, and can also be obtained from: git://github.com/mdroth/qemu.git visitor-fixed-width-v1
These patches add fixed-width visitor types and switches all qdev users over to them. We also add a test suite which covers these as well as does some sanity checking on Visitors which may be used in the future for serialization-type use-cases. I've also tried plugging in the new String-based visitors, but hit some test failures due to how they handle floating point so I've held off on those while I look into it more. That can be done in seperate patch though. hw/mc146818rtc.c | 7 - hw/qdev-addr.c | 4 +- hw/qdev-properties.c | 42 +-- qapi/qapi-visit-core.c | 139 ++++++++ qapi/qapi-visit-core.h | 16 + test-visitor-serialization.c | 718 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/Makefile | 6 +- 7 files changed, 897 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-)
