Quite a few users of qdict_put() were manually wrapping a
non-QObject. We can make such call-sites shorter, by providing
common macros to do the tedious work.  Also shorten nearby
qdict_put_obj(,,QOBJECT()) sequences.

v2: rebase to current master

I'm okay if you want me to break this patch into smaller pieces.

I guess I'm okay with a single piece, but I'd like to know how you did
the conversion.  Coccinelle?  Manually?

Manual, via grepping for put_obj.*QOBJECT. I'll see if I can do the same
under Coccinelle (at which point, committing the script will make it
easier to rerun cleanups if later code reintroduces poor usage
patterns), so maybe I have a v3 coming up.

I've got a Coccinelle patch (mostly) working now - but it has one
shortfall - I found places in tests/check-qdict.c that coccinelle
didn't, and traced it to the fact that our use of g_assert_cmpint(expr,
==, expr) throws off the coccinelle parser so badly that it silently
ignores the entire function body containing the use of that macro.  v3
will be posted soon, with the best of both worlds (coccinelle caught
spots that I missed, not to mention recent code base changes; and my
manual search found the spots in tests/ that coccinelle missed).

Julia ^ is this a known issue?

If Eric is using the Fedora version of coccinelle, then he would be
using either 1.0.6 or 1.0.5.

Yes, it's completely standard.  If there is a problem parsing a top-level
code unit, then the whole top-level code unit is ignored.

Actually I meant about g_assert_cmpint, but this is also good to
know too.

OK, there is nothing special about g_assert_cmpint, but Coccinelle expects
expressions or types in function argument lists, so it gives a parse error
on finding an ==.

I should have checked the coccinelle mailing list before asking you,
because I see that Eric already asked this question and you answered
it.  For reference, that is here:

  https://systeme.lip6.fr/pipermail/cocci/2017-April/004107.html

Thanks again,

Rich.

Eric, are you using the scripts/cocci-macro-file.h?

    coccinelle: add g_assert_cmp* to macro file

    This helps applying semantic patches to unit tests.

Didn't even realize it existed. I've updated my spatch command line
accordingly.
