New submission from STINNER Victor: Python C API evolves. For example, the Unicode type has been rewriten for scratch to use a more efficient design. Would it be possible to mark deprecated functions as deprecated, so users will be noticed that the API evolved and Python has better functions?
For example, PyUnicode_GET_SIZE() is deprecated and returns a different value than PyUnicode_GET_LENGTH() if wchar_t size is 16-bit (ex: Windows and AIX). GCC has an nice __attribute__((deprecated)) to tag functions. ---------- messages: 202740 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Use __attribute__((deprecated)) to warn usage of deprecated functions and macros versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19569> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
