Re: How to find replacements for deprecated functions

[Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi gmail com>]

Hi;

for direct replacements, we use compiler warnings that will tell you what
to use - or point you in the general direction; e.g. something like "The
function X has been deprecated; use Y instead".

If you're using a high level language, it depends on the language; AFAIK
Python will emit a DeprecationWarning exception you can catch, but don't
know off hand if it'll point you to the replacement.

In some cases there is no annotation; you can file a bug for the
documentation component and we can discuss what's the best way forward.

If you're asking something more specific, you'll have to provide more
context.

Ciao,
Emmanuele.
