Seconding Peter's advice to develop against current QEMU.
DEFINE_NIC_PROPERTIES() is still around, in include/net/net.h:
typedef struct NICConf {
MACAddr macaddr;
NICPeers peers;
int32_t bootindex;
int32_t queues;
} NICConf;
#define DEFINE_NIC_PROPERTIES(_state, _conf) \
DEFINE_PROP_MACADDR("mac", _state, _conf.macaddr), \
DEFINE_PROP_VLAN("vlan", _state, _conf.peers), \
DEFINE_PROP_NETDEV("netdev", _state, _conf.peers), \
DEFINE_PROP_INT32("bootindex", _state, _conf.bootindex, -1)
It's used like this (example taken from hw/e1000.c):
static Property e1000_properties[] = {
DEFINE_NIC_PROPERTIES(E1000State, conf),
DEFINE_PROP_END_OF_LIST(),
};
If you drilled down into the macros, you'd realize that this refers to
E1000State member conf, which is of type NICConf.
