Commit Message

Eduardo Habkost Sept. 8, 2020, 8 p.m. UTC 
From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

The object_ref/unref methods are intended for use with any subclass of
the base Object. Using "Object *" in the signature is not adding any
meaningful level of type safety, since callers simply use "OBJECT(ptr)"
and this expands to an unchecked cast "(Object *)".

By using "void *" we enable the object_unref() method to be used to
provide support for g_autoptr() with any subclass.
