scala.deprecatedInheritance

class deprecatedInheritance extends Annotation with StaticAnnotation

An annotation that designates that inheriting from a class is deprecated.

This is usually done to warn about a non-final class being made final in a future version. Sub-classing such a class then generates a warning. No warnings are generated if the subclass is in the same compilation unit.
