We want to use type definitions here (such TYPE_CCID_PASSTHRU),
as we don't guaranty them stable.

We don't want to include various "hw/x/y.h" in this core file.

Since there is a relation between QOM type and the module,
can we store/use the module name in the TypeInfo declaration?

  static const TypeInfo passthru_card_info = {
      .name          = TYPE_CCID_PASSTHRU,
      .parent        = TYPE_CCID_CARD,
      .instance_size = sizeof(PassthruState),
      .class_init    = passthru_class_initfn,
      .module_name   = "usb-smartcard",        <=====
  };

Actually this modularization is not specific to QDEV
and can be used to all QOM right? I.e:

  static const TypeInfo qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_info = {
      .parent = TYPE_QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS,
      .name = TYPE_QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_X509,
      .module_name = "gnu-tls",
      ...
  }

Hmm?  I'm pretty sure '-device ccid-card-passthru' *is* stable ABI.

That doesn't buy us much, the TypeInfo ends up in the module not qemu.
So qemu can't access it without loading the module.

We do *not* want load all modules on startup though.  Which means we
need a such list in qemu.  The struct above is just that.  There
certainly is room for improvement, building that list automatically
somehow for example.

Given that most devices don't depend on external shared libraries I
expect the list of device modules will stay relatively short.  So I've
decided to start with something simple and see how it goes (see also
patch 1/7).

Not as-is.  You'll need module load hooks in more places then and some
code tweaks to move it from qdev level (loading hw-* module only) to qom
level.

But, yes, moving the infrastructure to some qom-module.c file might be
useful when modularizing non-device objects.  Do you have any candidates
in mind?

take care,
  Gerd

Asking on IRC, there is no explicit contract.

But as you remarked, doing so would break the CLI, so we should
some day clarify that objects implementing TYPE_USER_CREATABLE
can not have their typename changed. For the rest, there is no
restriction.

So far I was only thinking of gnutls.

[ note: v5 of the series does this ]

Looks challenging on a quick glance ...

take care,

Yeah, I'm not convinced modularizing that is a good use of time. It is
plumbed in across multiple backends (chardev, migration, block, ui)
and also providing the secure RNG used across QEMU.
