Deprecation
How would we (and should we) mark that this is but only in  ? (C++11 refers to C as defined in ISO 9899:1999/Cor.3:2007(E), in which gets is deprecated per 7.26.9/2) --Cubbi 14:53, 14 September 2011 (PDT)


 * IMO there's no need to elaborate in which revision of the standard a feature was deprecated. 'Deprecated', by definition, means 'will be removed in some future revision' so if is deprecated in C++11, it is effectively deprecated in any earlier standard also. I agree that simply putting  feels strange though.P12 16:05, 14 September 2011 (PDT)


 * On second thought, plenty of other things that are only deprecated in C++11 (auto_ptr, old binders, dynamic throw specifications) are simply, it's just that with gets it is not immediately obvious because it's not explicitly listed as such in Annex D, I think gets should be marked the same way as auto_ptr and others. --Cubbi
