Abstract

Techniques for inferring code deprecation from module deprecation are disclosed. A system detects a reference to a type. The system determines that a particular module, in a plurality of modules in a module system, exposes the referenced type. The system determines that the particular module is associated with a deprecation status. Responsive to determining that the particular module is associated with the deprecation status, the system presents information indicating that the reference references a deprecated module.
