Subject: [PATCH] Mark deprecated functions so they give a warning on use
Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2002 11:57:10 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021228035319.903502C04B@lists.samba.org> (raw)
If anyone can think of a better way, please share. This should speed
up the removal of functions like check_region() (which, despite
William's janitorial efforts, is still not at the stage where it can
be removed).
Thanks,
Rusty.

Name: Mark deprecated functions so they give a warning on use
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Trivial
D: Should speed elimination of deprecated functions (eg. check_region,
D: deprecated since 2.3, still used in about 120 files).
D:
D: This patch causes an "unused label" warning: hopefully unusual
D: enough to make people look twice. eg:
D: drivers/net/depca.c: In function `isa_probe':
D: drivers/net/depca.c:1413: warning: label `DEPRECATED_use_request_region_return_value' defined but not used
