Public bug reported:
Vala 0.31.1 deprecated the "Deprecated" code attribute, replacing it
with "Version". The copy of unity.vapi shipped by libunity-dev in bionic
still uses the Deprecated attribute, however.
I.e. in unity.vapi:
[Deprecated (replacement = "AppInfoManager.get_default")]
public static Unity.AppInfoManager get_instance ();
Should instead be:
[Version (deprecated = true, replacement = "AppInfoManager.get_default")]
public static Unity.AppInfoManager get_instance ();
This causes a deprecation warning when compiling against it, regardless
of whether any deprecated calls are actually being made by the code
being compiled. While a minor issue, it would be good to have fixed
since it makes it impossible to develop against it with fatal warnings
enabled, which is bad for QA.
The Unity build seems to generate that file as per usual (as a valac
build artefact) so I would assume this should be fixed by a simple
rebuild using vala >= 0.31.1, but surely the version of libunity-dev
that shipped with bionic would have been rebuild against valac that
ships with bionic (0.40)? So I'm not sure why Deprecated is still
present in the vapi.
