What about the following:
qemu_deprecated_option("old_option", "modern_option");
Which would then print (in normal operation)
"WARNING: 'old_option' is deprecated and will be removed; use 'modern_option'
instead"
to the monitor (or to stderr? to both?).
If you start QEMU with a -no-deprecated-options switch, it would print
"ERROR: 'old_option' is deprecated and will be removed; use 'modern_option'
instead"
and do an exit(1).
Would that be workable?
