Use of old RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_SLAVE and rte_get_master_lcore_id()
are marked as deprecated.

All uses of these in DPDK itself is gone. This will cause warnings
for applications still using them.

Presumably this is a generic header, should we introduce GCC-specific 
things there?

It works with Clang as well. Likely ICC but don't have that.

What about MSVC?

_Pragma is C99 standard so MSVC know it.
MSVC should ignore any pragman it doesn't understand.

There is a better pragma for deprecating keywords in MSVC, but GCC and Clang don't
understand it.

The compiler issues a warning when it finds a pragma that it doesn't recognize, and continues compilation.

Deprecating macros sounds like something we might want to do in the 
future, can't we put some macro into rte_common.h to address this? e.g. 
something like

#ifdef MSVC
#define rte_deprecated_macro _msvc_pragma_whatever()
#else
#define rte_deprecated_macro _Pragma("GCC warning ...")
#endif

and use this macro here?

FYI, DPDK on Windows is compiled with Clang, only linker is from MSVC. And
MinGW uses GCC toolchain. Why care about MSVC here?

Ah, OK. I'm not too familiar with Windows port, i was assuming it uses MSVC.

Nevertheless, i would prefer having a macro for these kinds of cases, 
however rare they are.

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but IMO it's certainly better 
than having a compiler-specific things in an API header file :)

I was hoping for macro volunteer?

Something like:
#define RTE_DEPRECATED(foo) ...

Oh, sure, apologies for not picking up on that :D

A bit on the ugly side, but should work:

#define __rte_deprecated_macro(val) (_Pragma("GCC warning \"'" #val "'\" 
is deprecated\"") (val))

To be used as:

#define NEW __rte_deprecated_macro(OLD)

(I feel there could be confusion between __rte_deprecated and 
RTE_DEPRECATED, so both for consistency and clarity, i believe 
"__rte_deprecated_macro" would be a better name - however, no strong 
opinion, RTE_DEPRECATED is fine by me as well)
