@brief CTF IR visitor.

@code

@endcode

A CTF IR <strong><em>visitor</em></strong> is a function that you
can use to visit the hierarchy of a
\link ctfirtraceclass CTF IR trace class\endlink with
bt_ctf_trace_visit() or of a
\link ctfirstreamclass CTF IR stream class\endlink with
bt_ctf_stream_class_visit().

The traversal of the object's hierarchy is always done in a
pre-order fashion.

@struct bt_ctf_object
@brief A CTF IR object wrapper.

This structure wraps both a CTF IR object and its type
(see #bt_ctf_object_type). It is used in the visiting function.

You can use the bt_ctf_object_get_type() and
bt_ctf_object_get_object() accessors to get the type and wrapped
CTF IR object of a CTF IR object wrapper.

A CTF IR object wrapper has <strong>no reference count</strong>: do \em
not use bt_ctf_object_put_ref() or bt_ctf_object_get_ref() on it.
