+// Annotate the declarations of deprecated functions with this to cause a
+// compiler warning when they're used. Like so:
+//
+//   RTC_DEPRECATED std::pony PonyPlz(const std::pony_spec& ps);
+//
+// NOTE 1: The annotation goes on the declaration in the .h file, not the
+// definition in the .cc file!
+//
+// NOTE 2: In order to keep unit testing the deprecated function without
+// getting warnings, do something like this:
+//
+//   std::pony DEPRECATED_PonyPlz(const std::pony_spec& ps);
+//   RTC_DEPRECATED inline std::pony PonyPlz(const std::pony_spec& ps) {
+//     return DEPRECATED_PonyPlz(ps);
+//   }
+//
+// In other words, rename the existing function, and provide an inline wrapper
+// using the original name that calls it. That way, callers who are willing to
+// call it using the DEPRECATED_-prefixed name don't get the warning.
+//
+// TODO(kwiberg): Remove this when we can use [[deprecated]] from C++14.
+#if defined(_MSC_VER)
+// Note: Deprecation warnings seem to fail to trigger on Windows
+// (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=5368).
