Author: jmg Date: Sun Aug 2 00:22:14 2015 New Revision: 286170 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/286170 Log: mark this function as deprecated, and put the warning first, since I doubt most people will read to the end... Note the use of sys/cdefs.h for pre-C11 compilers... I didn't included a note about being compatibile w/ userland since a C11 feature should be obviously usable in userland...
