Deprecation warnings are numerous, backtrace not useful

[kmsquire]

The main issue here is that most deprecation warnings I'm seeing only point to ./deprecated.jl:40, which makes it hard to determine what needs to change:

julia> using BinDeps
WARNING: parseint(s,base) is deprecated, use parse(Int,s,base) instead.
 in depwarn at ./deprecated.jl:40
WARNING: uint8(r::UnitRange) is deprecated, use map(UInt8,r) instead.
 in depwarn at ./deprecated.jl:40
WARNING: parseint(s,base) is deprecated, use parse(Int,s,base) instead.
 in depwarn at ./deprecated.jl:40
WARNING: parseint(s,base) is deprecated, use parse(Int,s,base) instead.
 in depwarn at ./deprecated.jl:40
WARNING: uint8(r::UnitRange) is deprecated, use map(UInt8,r) instead.
 in depwarn at ./deprecated.jl:40

As a consequence, there are times when I see dozens of copies the same warning. The code for depwarn seems to think these are coming from different callers, but seemingly doesn't want to pass on that information. E.g., when attempting to build

julia> Pkg.build("VideoIO")
... <snip - pages of various deprecation warnings like those below >
WARNING: c_malloc is deprecated, use Libc.malloc instead.
 in depwarn at ./deprecated.jl:40
WARNING: c_malloc is deprecated, use Libc.malloc instead.
 in depwarn at ./deprecated.jl:40
WARNING: c_malloc is deprecated, use Libc.malloc instead.
 in depwarn at ./deprecated.jl:40
... <snip - repeated about 40 more times, plus others>

The amount of useless output is rather ridiculous.

Actually, I think this is probably related to line numbers not being available for precompiled functions. Anyone know which issue that is?

[kmsquire]

FWIW, julia --inline=no (from #1334) does not help.

[timholy]

It will might if you delete sys.so.

[ivarne]

IIUC sys.jl shouldn't matter unless the deprecated functions isn't still in precompile.jl

[vtjnash]

@kmsquire line number information should be read fine on llvm33. Only in later llvm versions is it broken on Dwarf (Mac)

[kmsquire]

Recompiling from a fresh checkout restored normal behavior, so I must have had some older libraries lying around. Probably could have been fixed by something simpler, but this was easy enough.

Thanks all, and sorry for the noise. Cheers!

This seems to happen also on a complete fresh build.
When I run runtests.jl from GLPlot this shows up:

WARNING: float32(x) is deprecated, use Float32(x) instead.
 in float32 at deprecated.jl:29
 in anonymous at no file:161
 in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:129

This is:

Julia Version 0.4.0-dev+3952

I remember that it was sometimes even just WARNING: float32(x) is deprecated, use Float32(x) instead.

I'll try a complete rebuild on windows 8.1 as well.
