Bug ID: 67960
Summary: Prefixing a function with [[deprecated]] produces
multiple warnings
Product: gcc
Version: 5.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: chrisb2244 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The [[deprecated]] prefix for a function produces multiple warnings.
In v5.2.0, there are 3 warnings for the code
[[deprecated]] void doNothing(){}
int main(){
doNothing();
}
I am informed that in v4.9.2, only 2 warnings are emitted for the same code -

Replacing the body of main with
auto f = doNothing;
f();
reduces the output to 2 warnings in v5.2.0, and apparently 1 warning in 4.9.2
Bug 17729 (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17729) seems to be
about a similar issue (the same issue?) but there discusses the attribute
rather than a tag - I assume the tag is implemented in terms of the attribute
but am unsure hence a new bug report.
