Constify all accesses to qdev properties, except for the
ObjectPropertyAccessor itself. This makes it possible to place them in
read-only memory, and also lets Rust bindings switch from "static mut"
arrays to "static"; which is advantageous, because mutable statics are
highly discouraged.

Should we adapt the callee -- here > object_property_add() -- to also take a const argument? This argument goes into prop->opaque and is passed to all accessor/resolver/finalizers functions. So it would be a much larger change because it needs to change all those functions from "void *opaque" to "const void *opaque". It would also be an issue because some finalizers write to the opaque for good reason: static void object_finalize_child_property( Object *obj, const char *name, void *opaque) { Object *child = opaque; if (child->class->unparent) { (child->class->unparent)(child); } child->parent = NULL; // <--- here object_unref(child); } So, it's not great but it seems necessary. At least keeping the const within qdev properties makes things "safer" within that realm. Paolo

At least keeping the const > within qdev properties makes things "safer" within that realm. Since it is only within qdev-properties.c, it is indeed reasonable to accept. Maybe make it explicit via a well-named macro to do the cast? /* NON_CONST_PROP: Specific macro to this file because ... */ #define NON_CONST_PROP(prop) (Property *)(prop) Regards, Phil.
