/**
    This macro can be used around a function declaration to generate warnings
    indicating that this function is deprecated (i.e. obsolete and planned to
    be removed in the future) when it is used. Only Visual C++ 7 and higher and
    g++ compilers currently support this functionality.

    Example of use:

    @code
    // old function, use wxString version instead
    wxDEPRECATED( void wxGetSomething(char *buf, size_t len) );

    // ...
    wxString wxGetSomething();

    This is a special version of wxDEPRECATED() macro which only does something
    when the deprecated function is used from the code outside wxWidgets itself
    but doesn't generate warnings when it is used from wxWidgets.

    It is used with the virtual functions which are called by the library
    itself -- even if such function is deprecated the library still has to call
    it to ensure that the existing code overriding it continues to work, but
    the use of this macro ensures that a deprecation warning will be generated
    if this function is used from the user code or, in case of Visual C++, even
    when it is simply overridden.

    implementation @a body.

    @code
    class wxFoo

/**
    @c wxEXPLICIT is a macro which expands to the C++ @c explicit keyword if
    the compiler supports it or nothing otherwise. Thus, it can be used even in
    the code which might have to be compiled with an old compiler without
    support for this language feature but still take advantage of it when it is
    available.

/**
    GNU C++ compiler gives a warning for any class whose destructor is private
    unless it has a friend. This warning may sometimes be useful but it doesn't
    make sense for reference counted class which always delete themselves
    (hence destructor should be private) but don't necessarily have any
    friends, so this macro is provided to disable the warning in such case. The
    @a name parameter should be the name of the class but is only used to
    construct a unique friend class name internally.

    Example of using the macro:

    @code
    class RefCounted
    {
    public:
        RefCounted() { m_nRef = 1; }
        void IncRef() { m_nRef++ ; }
        void DecRef() { if ( !--m_nRef ) delete this; }

    private:
        ~RefCounted() { }

        wxSUPPRESS_GCC_PRIVATE_DTOR(RefCounted)
    };
    @endcode

    Notice that there should be no semicolon after this macro.

    passing it to another function because it can be modified by the latter.
