To repeat the literal words from the standard: Annex D [depr]: 1 This clause describes features of the C++ Standard that are specified for compatibility with existing implementations. 2 These are deprecated features, where deprecated is defined as: Normative for the current edition of the Standard, but not guaranteed to be part of the Standard in future revisions.
