Hi,

exists($a[$i]) and delete($a[0]) are deprecated, yet they don't emit a
deprecation warning. There has been talk about removing them from core or
changing their functionality, which required the deprecated warning to be
emitted. The attached patches add a deprecation warning for those
operations.

I have previously gotten most use of exists($a[$i]) and delete($a[0])
removed from the cpan/ directory, but two remain​:

- Object​::Accessor has one remaining use, and there's an open ticket to
have it fixed.
- Tie​::File needs to have C<< no warnings 'deprecated'; >> added around its
tests for its EXISTS and DELETE handler. I'll be happy to submit a patch
once this is committed.

Thanks,
Eric

-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

Hi,

exists($a[$i]) and delete($a[0]) are deprecated, yet they don't emit a
deprecation warning. There has been talk about removing them from core
or
changing their functionality, which required the deprecated warning to
be
emitted. The attached patches add a deprecation warning for those
operations.

I have previously gotten most use of exists($a[$i]) and delete($a[0])
removed from the cpan/ directory, but two remain​:

- Object​::Accessor has one remaining use, and there's an open ticket
to
have it fixed.
- Tie​::File needs to have C<< no warnings 'deprecated'; >> added
around its
tests for its EXISTS and DELETE handler. I'll be happy to submit a
patch
once this is committed.

Seeing that I maintain code that would produce literally thousands of
warnings as a result (and there’s nothing wrong with the code), I’m
opposed to this.

That only applies to #3 and maybe #2. #1 simply removes deprecated uses of
exists from XS-APItest.

Independent of everything else, I don't think that's a good idea.

Historically we've continued to test deprecated stuff until the commit that
actually removes it, to ensure that it doesn't change behaviour without us
knowing about it.

None of the patches remove any tests.

Hi,

The text of the opening post (below) describes patches #2 and #3.

Patch #1 changes two C<< exist($_[1]) >> to C<< @​_ >= 2 >>. Any objections
to that? They aren't part of tests for exists($a[]) or delete($a[]).

But it's not valid code according to the documentation. Are you saying the

The documentation says that it is deprecated, not invalid. That said, I
think it being deprecated is enough reason to agree with the patch.

And patch #1 is now applied as 5e5bb7c. Leaving #2 and #3 for now until
we come to a consensus on this issue.

"this issue" here is "should using the deprecated exists($a[$i]) and
delete($a[$i])" warn?

Or is it going back to the notion of removing tests, which I believe was
rebutted, and not erroneously?

The use of exists and delete on array elements has been marked as deprecated
since 5.12, and I believe it should be issuing a deprecation warning if we are
ever to follow through and remove it.

"This issue" being if whether or not we are planning on actually
removing exists and delete on arrays. I think we should, but it has been
fairly contentious when brought up in the past. I agree that these
warnings need to go in if we want to remove them.

exists() and delete() on array elements are no longer officially
deprecated, but merely discouraged. The documentation changed in commit
2fbadc0. That undermines the basis
for the warning proposed in this ticket.

Agreed. Rejecting ticket as it is no longer relevant to have a deprecation warning on something that is not deprecated.
