           Summary: [GTK] Check for deprecated API use (G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
                    etc.)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: alp at atoker.com


We should have a special build target (perhaps in addition to Debug and
Release) that can be used to check for deprecated API use in WebKit/GTK+.

These are the relevant flags GIMP enables:

-DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DPANGO_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_MULTIHEAD_SAFE
-DGTK_MULTIHEAD_SAFE

We would also add (for the GStreamer code):

-DGST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED

There may be others I've missed, but these seem the most important.

These flags probably shouldn't be used in standard build profiles since they
may cause the build to break needlessly in the long term. They should be used
only to assist developers in tracking down bad API use, similarly to -Werror.
