CW: Deprecated, use a digital mode instead.

deprecated

/* deprecated.cpp */
#include <gtkmm.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
	Gtk::Window win;
	kit.run(win);
	return 0;
}

The above program works fine, but unfortunately Gtk::Main is a deprecated class.

  • the term is also used for a feature, design, or practice that is permitted but no longer recommended
  • Among the most common reasons for deprecation are:
    • The feature has been replaced by a more powerful alternative feature.
    • The feature contains a design flaw—frequently a security flaw—and so should be avoided, but existing code depends upon it.
    • The feature is considered extraneous, and will be removed in the future in order to simplify the system as a whole.

Isn’t that very interesting if we just replace some of the words with those that are used in ham radio.
