Michael Brown e71b83b22b [interface] Expand object interface to allow for polymorphic interfaces We have several types of object interface at present (data-xfer, job control, name resolution), and there is some duplication of functionality between them. For example, job_done(), job_kill() and xfer_close() are almost isomorphic to each other. This updated version of the object interface mechanism allows for each interface to export an arbitrary list of supported operations. Advantages include: Operations methods now receive a pointer to the object, rather than a pointer to the interface. This allows an object to, for example, implement a single close() method that can handle close() operations from any of its exposed interfaces. The close() operation is implemented as a generic operation (rather than having specific variants for data-xfer, job control, etc.). This will allow functions such as monojob_wait() to be used to wait for e.g. a name resolution to complete. The amount of boilerplate code required in objects is reduced, not least because it is no longer necessary to include per-interface methods that simply use container_of() to derive a pointer to the object and then tail-call to a common per-object method. The cost of adding new operations is reduced; adding a new data-xfer operation such as stat() no longer incurs the penalty of adding a .stat member to the operations table of all existing data-xfer interfaces. The data-xfer, job control and name resolution interfaces have not yet been updated to use the new interface mechanism, but the code will still compile and run.
