Lint to identify "deprecated at birth" APIs.
When API council requests changes, teams regularly perform the requested refactoring, but simply mark the old APIs as @Deprecated without @removed, due to internal users. As part of finalizing an SDK, we should ensure that no new APIs are marked @Deprecated, since they're typically cleanup that someone forgot to finish. This extension to the lint script makes it easy to identify these cases. $ python tools/apilint/apilint.py --show-deprecations-at-birth \ api/current.txt ../../prebuilts/sdk/api/28.txt $ python tools/apilint/apilint.py --show-deprecations-at-birth \ api/system-current.txt ../../prebuilts/sdk/system-api/28.txt Bug: 77588754 Test: manual inspection Change-Id: Ie9658006bb08f780bee0e503481d3bafec1038a1
