[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61784] builtins deprecated warning problem

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #61784 (project octave):

The intent was to move all of these built-in functions inside the octave
namespace while also providing inline functions that would also make them
visible in the global namespace.

We want to provide the old names to allow for a transition period of at least
two major releases so removing the old names in version 7 is not really an
option.

Using a template (or some other method that works to avoid the ambiguity)
could be OK.  However, when I changed the inline function in
builtin-defun-decls.h to be


template <typename T>
OCTAVE_DEPRECATED (7, "use 'octave::F__dump_load_path__' instead")
octave_value_list
F__dump_load_path__ (T& interp, const octave_value_list& args =
octave_value_list (), int nargout = 0)
{
  return octave::F__dump_load_path__ (interp, args, nargout);
}


the warning about the deprecated function name also disappeared.  Am I doing
something wrong?  It's not particularly useful to lose the warning since we
would like users to be alerted to this namespace change.
