<h3 class="section">7.13 Deprecated Features</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In the past, the GNU C++ compiler was extended to experiment with new
|
||
|
|
features, at a time when the C++ language was still evolving. Now that
|
||
|
|
the C++ standard is complete, some of those features are superseded by
|
||
|
|
superior alternatives. Using the old features might cause a warning in
|
||
|
|
some cases that the feature will be dropped in the future. In other
|
||
|
|
cases, the feature might be gone already.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>While the list below is not exhaustive, it documents some of the options
|
||
|
|
that are now deprecated:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>-fexternal-templates</code></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>-falt-external-templates</code></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd><p>These are two of the many ways for G++ to implement template
|
||
|
|
instantiation. See <a href="Template-Instantiation.html#Template-Instantiation">Template Instantiation</a>. The C++ standard clearly
|
||
|
|
defines how template definitions have to be organized across
|
||
|
|
implementation units. G++ has an implicit instantiation mechanism that
|
||
|
|
should work just fine for standard-conforming code.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>-fstrict-prototype</code></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>-fno-strict-prototype</code></dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd><p>Previously it was possible to use an empty prototype parameter list to
|
||
|
|
indicate an unspecified number of parameters (like C), rather than no
|
||
|
|
parameters, as C++ demands. This feature has been removed, except where
|
||
|
|
it is required for backwards compatibility. See <a href="Backwards-Compatibility.html#Backwards-Compatibility">Backwards Compatibility</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p></dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>G++ allows a virtual function returning ‘<samp>void *</samp>’ to be overridden
|
||
|
|
by one returning a different pointer type. This extension to the
|
||
|
|
covariant return type rules is now deprecated and will be removed from a
|
||
|
|
future version.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The G++ minimum and maximum operators (‘<samp><?</samp>’ and ‘<samp>>?</samp>’) and
|
||
|
|
their compound forms (‘<samp><?=</samp>’) and ‘<samp>>?=</samp>’) have been deprecated
|
||
|
|
and are now removed from G++. Code using these operators should be
|
||
|
|
modified to use <code>std::min</code> and <code>std::max</code> instead.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The named return value extension has been deprecated, and is now
|
||
|
|
removed from G++.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The use of initializer lists with new expressions has been deprecated,
|
||
|
|
and is now removed from G++.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Floating and complex non-type template parameters have been deprecated,
|
||
|
|
and are now removed from G++.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The implicit typename extension has been deprecated and is now
|
||
|
|
removed from G++.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The use of default arguments in function pointers, function typedefs
|
||
|
|
and other places where they are not permitted by the standard is
|
||
|
|
deprecated and will be removed from a future version of G++.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>G++ allows floating-point literals to appear in integral constant expressions,
|
||
|
|
e.g. ‘<samp> enum E { e = int(2.2 * 3.7) } </samp>’
|
||
|
|
This extension is deprecated and will be removed from a future version.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>G++ allows static data members of const floating-point type to be declared
|
||
|
|
with an initializer in a class definition. The standard only allows
|
||
|
|
initializers for static members of const integral types and const
|
||
|
|
enumeration types so this extension has been deprecated and will be removed
|
||
|
|
from a future version.
