Converting from virObject to GObject is reasonably straightforward,
as illustrated by this patch for virIdentity
In the header file
- Remove
typedef struct _virIdentity virIdentity
- Add
#define VIR_TYPE_IDENTITY virIdentity_get_type ()
G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE (virIdentity, vir_identity, VIR, IDENTITY, GObject);
Which provides the typedef we just removed, and class
declaration boilerplate and various other constants/macros.
In the source file
- Change 'virObject parent' to 'GObject parent' in the struct
- Remove the virClass variable and its initializing call
- Add
G_DEFINE_TYPE(virIdentity, vir_identity, G_TYPE_OBJECT)
which declares the instance & class constructor functions
- Add an impl of the instance & class constructors
wiring up the finalize method to point to our dispose impl
In all files
- Replace VIR_AUTOUNREF(virIdentityPtr) with g_autoptr(virIdentity)
- Replace virObjectRef/Unref with g_object_ref/unref. Note
the latter functions do *NOT* accept a NULL object where as
libvirt's do. If you replace g_object_unref with g_clear_object
it is NULL safe, but also clears the pointer.

Prepare for linking with glib by probing for it at configure
time. Per supported platforms target, the min glib versions on
relevant distros are:
RHEL-8: 2.56.1
RHEL-7: 2.50.3
Debian (Buster): 2.58.3
Debian (Stretch): 2.50.3
OpenBSD (Ports): 2.58.3
FreeBSD (Ports): 2.56.3
OpenSUSE Leap 15: 2.54.3
SLE12-SP2: 2.48.2
Ubuntu (Xenial): 2.48.0
macOS (Homebrew): 2.56.0
This suggests that a minimum glib of 2.48 is a reasonable target.
This aligns with the minimum version required by qemu too.
We must disable the bad-function-cast warning as various GLib APIs
and macros will trigger this.
