Hi all,

In base 3.14.12, the macro EPICS_DEPRECATED is defined in

compilerDependencies.h as follows:

/*
 * Deprecation marker
 */
#ifdef __GNUC__
# define EPICS_DEPRECATED __attribute__((deprecated))
#else
# define EPICS_DEPRECATED
#endif

Unfortunately it seems that the Tornado 2.2 compiler (gcc-2.96, Linux

version) does not understand __attribute__((deprecated)):

warning: `deprecated' attribute directive ignored

So it seems that #ifdef __GNUC__ is not enough and the GCC version needs

to be tested. However I don't know from which version on GCC understands

deprecated. Maybe starting with version 3 ?
