I am watching i8259.c in \hw folder in QEMU. here is something like this
static const VMStateDescription vmstate_pic = {
.name = "i8259",
.version_id = 1,
.minimum_version_id = 1,
.minimum_version_id_old = 1,
.fields = (VMStateField[]) {
VMSTATE_UINT8(last_irr, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(irr, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(imr, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(isr, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(priority_add, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(irq_base, PicSthisate),
VMSTATE_UINT8(read_reg_select, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(poll, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(special_mask, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(init_state, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(auto_eoi, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(rotate_on_auto_eoi, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(special_fully_nested_mode, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(init4, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(single_mode, PicState),
VMSTATE_UINT8(elcr, PicState),
VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST()
}
};
here what does this dot shows and what is this VMSTATE_UINT8 function?

The . is about assigning into named fields in a structure; it's just
neater than the old C way of having to keep all the fields in order.
See the def of VMStateDescription in include/migration/vmstate.h
The VMSTATE_UINT8 is a macro declaring that there is a byte/uint8 member
see ./include/migration/vmstate.h and docs/migration.txt for a bit
of a description.
