Title: Deprecated
Post by: Storm Trooper on May 19, 2011

What is meant by deprecated?
on freeBASIC there's a setting -lang deprecated, have seen it mentioned elsewhere for other languages.

"deprecated" usually refers to a feature that was in a previous version of the language, and is still available, but will be removed in the future (so it's advised not to use it). In this context I'm guessing it allows deprecated or old parts of the language to be used, where otherwise an error would be produced. Not entirely sure about this specific case, though.
