+ * The KDE_DEPRECATED macro can be used to trigger compile-time warnings
+ * with newer compilers when deprecated functions are used.
+ *
+ * For non-inline functions, the macro gets inserted at the very end of the
+ * function declaration, right before the semicolon:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * DeprecatedConstructor() KDE_DEPRECATED;
+ * void deprecatedFunctionA() KDE_DEPRECATED;
+ * int deprecatedFunctionB() const KDE_DEPRECATED;
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * Functions which are implemented inline are handled differently: for them,
+ * the KDE_DEPRECATED macro is inserted at the front, right before the return
+ * type, but after "static" or "virtual":
+ *
+ * \code
+ * KDE_DEPRECATED void deprecatedInlineFunctionA() { .. }
+ * virtual KDE_DEPRECATED int deprecatedInlineFunctionB() { .. }
+ * static KDE_DEPRECATED bool deprecatedInlineFunctionC() { .. }
+ * \end
+ *
+ * You can also mark whole structs or classes as deprecated, by inserting the
+ * KDE_DEPRECATED macro after the struct/class keyword, but before the
+ * name of the struct/class:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * class KDE_DEPRECATED DeprecatedClass { };
+ * struct KDE_DEPRECATED DeprecatedStruct { };
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * \note
+ * It does not make much sense to use the KDE_DEPRECATED keyword for a Qt signal;
+ * this is because usually get called by the class which they belong to,
+ * and one'd assume that a class author doesn't use deprecated methods of his
+ * own class. The only exception to this are signals which are connected to
+ * other signals; they get invoked from moc-generated code. In any case,
+ * printing a warning message in either case is not useful.
+ * For slots, it can make sense (since slots can be invoked directly) but be
+ * aware that if the slots get triggered by a signal, the will get called from
+ * moc code as well and thus the warnings are useless.
+ *
+ * \par
+ * Also note that it is not possible to use KDE_DEPRECATED for classes which
+ * use the k_dcop keyword (to indicate a DCOP interface declaration); this is
+ * because the dcopidl program would choke on the unexpected declaration
+ * syntax.
