deprecate for human, please #137

Closed gaydenko closed 9 years ago

gaydenko commented 10 years ago

Hi!

I have tried scala-pickling under 2.11.1 and have got deprecation warnings 

method normalize in class TypeApi is deprecated: Use `dealias` or `etaExpand` instead

against pickle and unpickle methods. Not sure where to find this message de-cyphering for "normal users".

How to resolve the deprecation?

heathermiller commented 10 years ago

Aha, this issue comes from the fact that we have one codebase which we cross-compile for both Scala 2.10 and 2.11 (rather than maintaining separate branches for different Scala versions).

The good news is that this is a deprecation warning for us to deal with (it's between users of the macro/compiler API, not end-users) and is nothing for you to have to worry about.

It takes us going through and resolving all 2.10/2.11 deprecation warnings, which we'll do for the 0.9.0 release.

@heathermiller , OK, I see. Also the methods blow up scala-ide brain: http://gaydenko.com/tmp/su01.png Is it scala-ide issue?

Is there an alternative way of pickling/unpickling that doesn't yield this deprecation warning? I'm in the middle of transition to 2.11.1 myself so am compiling with "-deprecation" until I get all my code converted... So in the interim I can't use pickle which was one of the reasons for me to upgrade to 2.11.1...

Thanks

I don't think this happens with Pickling 0.10.0 + Scala 2.11.x any more.
