[java-gnome-hackers] Deprecated APIs

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

Martyn Russell posted a list of all the deprecated APIs in GTK. Since
they're all going to disappear pretty soon, and more to the point, we
don't present deprecated APIs in underlying libraries, we certainly
don't need to have any of them in our generated translation and JNI
layers.

I did this:

$ cd generated/bindings/org/gnome/gtk/
$ for i in `cat ~/Desktop/deprecated-apis.txt`
  do
      grep $i *.c
  done

and was quite unimpressed with how much we have in our generated code
that we don't need. What a waste of space in our .jar and .so!

I had thought that most of the stuff that was obscelete was marked with
(deprecated ...) lines [or, in the case of deprecated classes, removed
entirely] but I guess not.

If someone wants to go through and patch the .defs data to add
(deprecated...) lines to each of the blocks corresponding to these
functions, it'd be a nice contribution.

Martyn's original lists are attached [I'm not sure what he used to
generate these, so you will, of course, need to quality control the
information before acting].

I just put together quickly a few lists of ALL things marked as
deprecated right now....
