The broader context is that I was trying to make the deprecation notices more

([as]ctime[_r](3) is another one, since it is deprecated by POSIX, but not by
the C standard, but I'll start a different thread with that; and isascii(3) is

See the discussion of deprecation starting with
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-May/126356.html> (C2X
has also deprecated those functions).  The comments in that thread
supported marking the functions deprecated, but it needs someone to send a
patch and I don't know what breakage might result in applications using
those functions.


Thanks. The latest draft for C2x that I know of is N2596. Is there any newer draft that I can consult for these things? I see many proposals, but it's difficult to know which have been accepted and which not without an actual recent draft of the standard.

Cheers,

Alex
