It seems to be ANSI compatible.

#include <stdio.h>

#define __deprecated __attribute__((deprecated))

__deprecated void foo(void);

int main(void) {
        foo();
        return 0;
}

void foo(void) {
        printf("I am foo.\n");
}

The above code being compiled with -ansi -pedantic gives this:

[rishi at Sunflower devel]$ gcc -ansi -pedantic try.c
try.c: In function 'main':
try.c:8: warning: 'foo' is deprecated (declared at try.c:5)
[rishi at Sunflower devel]$

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
