Description Havoc Pennington 2002-02-27 02:34:30 UTC 
Add a macro that will be honored by other libs, to disable all deprecated.
So I don't have to do -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
-DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGNOME_DISABLE_DEPRECATED blah blah blah.

Each lib using GLib would contain:
#ifdef G_GLOBAL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
#define FOO_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
#endif

This turns out to be lots of busywork.  You have to put the ifdef in
every header file that might be included on its own.  I've done (and
attached) the patch for glib.  It's long but boring and repetetive.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2002-05-08 21:44:47 UTC 
I think you're not supposed to directly include any headers but glib.h.
And even then it should be enough to put the #ifdef in glibconfig.h.
Comment 4 Sam TH 2002-05-09 20:05:40 UTC 
I'm not sure about people including specific header files from glib. 
I know I've seen it with 1.2.x glib.  

You're totally correct about glibconfig.h, though.  Revised (much
shorter) patch attached.  If this is deemed reasonable, I'll do the
rest of GTK.

I don't think this is worth it
