From 281305d3e08ac7330dfe7cf7b3978c119a888bad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhao Liu Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2024 16:59:34 +0800 Subject: qom/object: Remove type_register() At present, type_register() and type_register_static() are identical, although their documentation expects the *_static variant to accept the Typeinfo with the strings that have the static lifetime. However, the code implementation doesn't have any check or guarantee for static lifetime. In fact, this is unnecessary because type_new() duplicates all strings, thereby taking ownership of them. Therefore, type_register() and type_register_static() are redundant, so one of them should be removed. Since the changes required to remove type_register() were smaller, type_register() was replaced with type_register_static() throughout the code base. Drop its definition, and delete the requirement about string lifetime from the documentation.
