So I think you want the > QOM class structure both ways. We have precedent elsewhere for having a "revision" property in the object struct rather than having subclasses per class, don't we? (arm_gic already has such a property, it's the 'revision' field.) Properties can't go in the class struct because by definition they can be set per-instance by the creator of the object. thanks -- PMM _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/kvmarm
