 * A macro to tag a symbol as deprecated.
 *
 * A function is marked deprecated by adding this macro to its declaration:
 *
 * ```c
 * extern SDL_DEPRECATED int ThisFunctionWasABadIdea(void);
 * ```
 *
 * Compilers with deprecation support can give a warning when a deprecated
 * function is used. This symbol may be used in SDL's headers, but apps are
 * welcome to use it for their own interfaces as well.
 *
 * SDL, on occasion, might deprecate a function for various reasons. However,
 * SDL never removes symbols before major versions, so deprecated interfaces
 * in SDL3 will remain available until SDL4, where it would be expected an app
 * would have to take steps to migrate anyhow.
 *
 * On compilers without a deprecation mechanism, this is defined to nothing,
 * and using a deprecated function will not generate a warning.
 *
 * \since This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.

 * program that checks the return values of all its file write function calls
 * but not the call to close the file, which it assumes incorrectly never
