Define a KLOG_DEPRECATED macro? about klog HOT 4 CLOSED

Why should we mark as deprecated instead of simply removing it?

from klog.

Having a way to mark functions as 'deprecated' allows us to keep functions around yet signal to others: do not build on this! It's a nice feature to have to improve collaboration.

For instance: the isSameFreq() should probably be deprecated when the Frequency class is finally implemented. Implementing that class is the easy part. Upgrading the code to use that new class might take a while. Hence: the ability to mark isSameFreq() as 'deprecated' during that transition period is a smart thing to do.

I'm sure there are (and will be in the future) plenty of cases where deprecating something until someone gets around to remove/rewrite is just a really nice enhancement!

A KLOG_DEPRECATED macro or some other way(!!!) of deprecating things must be language version agnostic. It should not use language features not available in C++11 until the language version is upgraded.

It really makes sense.
Let's work on it.

I have added your code to global.h and tested against DataProxy_SQLite::getBands() which is really a deprecated function.
It seems to work.
More tests is recommended.
