Deprecation howto - openframeworks/openFrameworks GitHub Wiki

Sometimes code has to be removed. This is how you do it without you inform other.

1. In the header file wrap the method signature into the OF_DEPRECATED_MSG("message", signature)-makro. You should also hint at any replacement functions, e.g.

   OF_DEPRECATED_MSG("ofxFoo::initFoo(int bar) is deprecated, use foo(int bar) instead.", void ofxFoo::initFoo(int bar));

2. Remove the actual implementation code.

3. Add the "@deprecated" tag to the Doxygen documentation.
