Warn about deprecated function during linking?

On Linux, you can easily tell the linker to emit a warning when the function is linked, e.g. like this:

static const char blah_msg[] __attribute__((section(".gnu.warning.blah"))) =
    "blah() is deprecated. Use blub().";

How to implement this warning behaviour on Solaris 10?

(i.e. with Solaris Studio and the Solaris ld)

Sorry, but I asked the Solaris linker team, and there is no way to do this with the Solaris ld - using the compiler deprecated attribute is the closest you can do.

cc -V

Per this:

Per the documentation:

deprecated(msg)

Results in a warning if the variable or function is used anywhere in the source file. The optional argument msg must be a string and will be included in the warning message if issued.
