[Qemu-devel] [PATCH qom-next] qom: make object cast assert if NULL object is passed as argument

[Igor Mammedov]

without assert it will crash at following point:
   OBJECT_CHECK(type, obj, name) \
    ((type *)object_dynamic_cast_assert(OBJECT(obj), (name)))
      =>  object_dynamic_cast(obj, typename)
        =>  object_is_type(obj, target_type)
          =>  type_is_ancestor(obj->class->type, target_type);
                                 ^^^
so abort earlier and print nice message instead of SIGSEGV
