So, a testcase like this:

extern void foo() __attribute__((deprecated));
extern void bar() __attribute__((deprecated));

void foo() {}

void bar()
{
    foo();
}

Should we warn on the invocation of foo() since it's also being called from within a deprecated function? We are today, but I've gotten a request for that to not warn. This seems reasonable, for example, if you deprecate an entire API or something, but still need to compile the library.

I think we should continue to warn. I can see the arguments on both sides, but I think warning makes sense. The person compiling the library should use -Wno-deprecated, and accept that they be calling some other deprecated function they don't intend to call.
