#16163: Don’t throw an error (by default) for use of DEPRECATED symbols under -Werror -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: m-renaud | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by svenpanne): I am not sure that the proposed change is really an improvement: If I use `-Werror` in the flags for my package, I want to be notified of every tiny problem in my code and basically promise to fix to those problems quickly. Probably my build system/CI even depends on the fact that those problems result in failed build, otherwise one would have to wade through large log files etc. If that's not what is intended, `-Wall` is probably the right flag to use, not `-Werror`. The main problem is the IMHO questionable change that adding `DEPRECATED` pragmas should not require a major version bump. I don't really buy into the artificial distinction between "information" and "warnings", both hint at potential problems.
