Weakening the typing to the super type also weakens the compiler's ability to catch mistakes at compile time. These mistakes can now only be found by actually running the code or by analyzing the code very, very carefully. For refactoring purposes as well as for code comprehensibility I actually prefer the old interface because the code is clearly annotedad with PFlashCFI01 types. With the new interface I need to manually track down each DeviceState pointer passed to a getter to verify that it is actually a PFlashCFI01 pointer. This causes considerably more cognitive load than before which I'd rather spend on the problem I'm trying to solve. What do you think?

"modern" QOM style somewhat relies on providing a struct definition for a device and trusting the code that uses the device not to peek into its private fields. In this case we're only passing a pointer anyway, so as you say we can just use a typedef if we want. > The getter also works with a typedef which doesn't need the structure exposed. > > >Have the callers pass a DeviceState* argument.

Weakening the typing to the super type also weakens the compiler's ability to catch mistakes at compile time. These mistakes can now only be found by actually running the code or by analyzing the code very, very carefully. Yes, I'm not super-opposed to these patches but I did find myself wondering whether adding all these casts in the caller is really an improvement and what we're trying to achieve. thanks -- PMM
