[vlc-devel] LIBVLC_DEPRECATED usage

[Olivier Aubert]

Thanks for the comment, but how so? From my understanding of cpp, the
following code (from libvlc.h:49) defines LIBVLC_DEPRECATED as strictly
equivalent to LIBVLC_API except when using gcc > 3.0, where it adds the
deprecated attribute.

#ifdef __LIBVLC__
/* Avoid unuseful warnings from libvlc with our deprecated APIs */
#   define LIBVLC_DEPRECATED LIBVLC_API
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && \
      (__GNUC__ > 3 || __GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ > 0)
# define LIBVLC_DEPRECATED LIBVLC_API __attribute__((deprecated))
#else
# define LIBVLC_DEPRECATED LIBVLC_API
#endif
