deal.ii deprection warnings in ASPECT

[MFraters]

I came across quite a few deprecation warnings while compiling ASPECT with deal.ii 9.0.0 pre on a linux system (10594 lines to be precise). I can post the whole file with all the warnings, but it might be a bit much. So I post here two examples, which as far I could see these represent all the warnings:

Hi Menno, I just tried to compile the newest deal.II dev with ASPECT master and did not get these warnings (gcc 4.8). Which compiler did you use for this?

[naliboff]

For reference, I'm also getting these warnings with gcc 5.4.

[gassmoeller]

I tried to reproduce the deprecation warnings with a current deal.II master and gcc 7.2, but was unsuccessful. The only thing I found was #2134. Could one of you try again with a current deal.II master? Maybe it is fixed there already. If not it is likely something in gcc 5.4 that no longer happens in gcc 7.2 (or some difference in our deal.II configurations).

[MFraters]

I tested with the newest master on three different machines, and the warnings have disappeared for me, except on one machine when I try to compile the Spiegelman benchmark. Not sure what is causing the difference. @naliboff, do you still see the warnings with the newest master?

[gassmoeller]

It seems this is fixed.
