GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 527639
Improve deprecated function warnings
Last modified: 2018-08-17 13:53:22 UTC
Other projects are using gnome-vfs in a deprecated manner. Most notably firefox (bug # <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294375">294375</a>. The warning messages leave a bit to be desired. Most notably, the function that the library user is calling.
Created attachment 109098 [details] [review] Patch that adds the name of the deprecated functions to warnings This patch won't fix any of the code that is using deprecated functions from this library, but it will make it easier for those users to find the deprecated usage in their code and make whatever changes are needed.
is this still an issue for firefox 3? there will not be much changes in gnome-vfs as it is deprecated itself now in favor of gvfs.
If you are still interested in this, please change the function names to %s placeholders and define them outside of the translatable string. We don't want translators to copy and paste cryptic function names.
gnome-vfs got deprecated in 2008. gnome-vfs is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in 2011. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-vfs/commits/master gio (in glib) and gvfs are its successors. See https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch33.html and https://people.gnome.org/~gicmo/gio-migration-guide/ for porting info. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Feel free to open a task in GNOME Gitlab if the issue described in this task still applies to a recent + supported version of glib/gio/gvfs. Thanks!
