Greetings!

One of the switches of the dmd compiler is:

-d             allow deprecated features

I just downloaded 116 (very nice, by the way) and I saw that switch there.  I
asked myself, "Jose, what is depracated and what is not?"  I searched a few
sites, but right now I am a little PRESSED for time and so I ask, how would a d
programmer know what is deprecated and what is not?  Right now, v.116 has $ as
the length and soon (if all goes well) length will be depracated.  Many of my
programs have length already.  But, that's not a problem, vi is a good editor
and I can change that stuff in matter of seconds.  But, nonetheless, what is
deprecated and what is not?

thanks,

josé

That would be a nice section of the doc, but I don't know of any way get a 
list of deprecated features.

It'd be even better if the compiler would have a verbose "?" mode, and 
spat out a list. Like Borland's "-h -" mode

If you try to do something, and the compler complains that it's depricated 
and refuses to compile, then it is depricated ;) . But if you're trying to 
get a complete list of depricated features, then I guess that doesn't 
help...

The easiest way at the moment is to grep the provided dmd sources for
"deprecated".

It will also allow you to do C-style casts, i.e. (float)a as opposed to 
cast(float)a.
