You're defining two functions, presumably in two different modules and with two different fully qualified names. One function is deprecated but has no body, so you will get a deprecation warning and a linker error if you try using it. One function is not deprecated and has a body, so you'll get no errors if you try using it. If, on the other hand, you define both the non-deprecated and deprecated functions in the same file, and you try using them, you'll get an error saying that the function call matches multiple functions.
