_NM_GET_PRIVATE() used typeof() to propagate constness of the @self
pointer. However, that means, it could only be used with a self pointer
of the exact type. That means, you explicitly had to cast from (GObject *)
or from (void *).
The requirement is cumbersome, and often led us to either create @self
pointer we didn't need:
NMDeviceVlan *self = NM_DEVICE_VLAN (device);
NMDeviceVlanPrivate *priv = NM_DEVICE_VLAN_GET_PRIVATE (self);
or casting:
NMDeviceVlanPrivate *priv = NM_DEVICE_VLAN_GET_PRIVATE ((NMDevice *) device);
In both cases we forcefully cast the source variable, loosing help from
the compiler to detect a bug.
For "nm-linux-platform.c", instead we commonly have a pointer of type
NMPlatform. Hence, we always forcefully cast the type via _NM_GET_PRIVATE_VOID().
Rework the macro to use _Generic(). If compiler supports _Generic(), then we
will get all compile time checks as desired. If the compiler doesn't support
_Generic(), it will still work. You don't get the compile-time checking of course,
but you'd notice that something is wrong once you build with a suitable
compiler.
