I am comfortable with using David Ayres's solution. So far it looks like
GSObjCRuntime.h is the only place the attribute is used.
Widespread adoption might be a good thing, as deprecated interfaces do exist for
frameworks etc. Should the macro be defined here or somewhere else?

Summary: Spurious warnings about deprecated attribute being ignored from
GSObjCRuntime.h on pre-GCC 3.1 compilers
Original Submission: Many lines of warnings about the deprecated attribute being
ignored are generated on gcc 2.95 and presumably 3.0.
The deprecated attribute was only introduced in gcc 3.1 (according to
http://www.ohse.de/uwe/articles/gcc-attributes.html).
This patch replaces the undefined NO_DEPRECATED macro with a test for GCC version in
GSObjCRuntime.h.

Thanks for reporting!
This is rather unfortunate. Actually the NO_DEPRECATED macro is a convenience macro
for user code to hide the deprecated declarations all together. It predates the use
of the deprecated attribute. I do not necessarily oppose the patch. But it would
hide the prototypes and possibly break user code with older compilers.
Maybe it would be better to introduce something like:
#if (__GNUC__ > 3 || (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 1))
#define GCC_ATTRIB_DEPRECATED __attribute__ ((deprecated))
#else
#define GCC_ATTRIB_DEPRECATED
#endif
and use that macro instead like this patch?
