| | 1 | = Parrot Deprecations for 3.0 = |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | == PIR string literals with charset and encoding are deprecated == |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | === Description === |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | PIR string literals of the form |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | {{{ |
| | 10 | encoding:charset:"string" |
| | 11 | }}} |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | are deprecated. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | === Rationale === |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | After the charset/encoding merge, they're unneeded. |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | === Replacement === |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | They can be replaced with |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | {{{ |
| | 24 | encoding:"string" |
| | 25 | }}} |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | The encoding should be one of the new unified encodings. |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | == Remaining string_* functions are deprecated == |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | === Description === |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | The string_* functions have been deprecated for a while. The remaining functions are: |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | {{{ |
| | 36 | string_make |
| | 37 | string_ord |
| | 38 | string_chr |
| | 39 | string_to_cstring_nullable |
| | 40 | string_max_bytes |
| | 41 | string_increment |
| | 42 | }}} |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | === Rationale === |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | They're old cruft. |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | === Replacement === |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | string_make should be replaced with Parrot_str_new_init. You can use Parrot_find_encoding to get an encoding from a cstring. |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | Replace string_ord with Parrot_str_indexed. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | Replace string_chr with Parrot_str_chr. |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | Replace string_to_cstring_nullable with Parrot_str_to_cstring. |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | string_max_bytes and string_increment will be removed. |
