[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 3/4] qobject: replace qobject_incref/QINCREF qobj


From: Marc-André Lureau
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 3/4] qobject: replace qobject_incref/QINCREF qobject_decref/QDECREF
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 17:48:32 +0200

Now that we can safely call QOBJECT() on QObject * and children types,
we can have a single macro to ref/unref the object.

Change the incref/decref prefix name for the more common ref/unref.

Note that before the patch, "QDECREF(obj)" was problematic because it
would expand to "obj ? obj : ...", which could evaluate "obj" multiple
times.
