  21/**
  22 * Create a QObject output visitor for @obj
  23 *
  24 * A QObject output visitor visit builds a QObject from QAPI Object.
  25 * This simultaneously walks the QAPI object and the QObject being
  26 * built.  The latter walk starts at @obj.
  27 *
  28 * visit_type_FOO() creates a QObject for QAPI type FOO.  It creates a
  29 * QDict for struct/union types, a QList for list types, QString for
  30 * type 'str' and enumeration types, QNum for integer and float
  31 * types, QBool for type 'bool'.  For type 'any', it increments the
  32 * QObject's reference count.  For QAPI alternate types, it creates
  33 * the QObject for the member that is in use.
  34 *
  35 * visit_start_struct() ... visit_end_struct() visits a QAPI
  36 * struct/union and creates a QDict.  Visits in between visit the
  37 * members.  visit_optional() is true when the struct/union has this
  38 * member.  visit_check_struct() does nothing.
  39 *
  40 * visit_start_list() ... visit_end_list() visits a QAPI list and
  41 * creates a QList.  Visits in between visit list members, one after
  42 * the other.  visit_next_list() returns NULL when all QAPI list
  43 * members have been visited.  visit_check_list() does nothing.
  44 *
  45 * visit_start_alternate() ... visit_end_alternate() visits a QAPI
  46 * alternate.  The visit in between creates the QObject for the
  47 * alternate member that is in use.
  48 *
  49 * Errors are not expected to happen.
  50 *
  51 * The caller is responsible for freeing the visitor with
  52 * visit_free().
