mame-san:

This additional document is important to avoid future compatibility 
issue.

Please see a problem of `set_trace_func'

(sorry, it is written in Japanese).

Almost okay (because of only rdoc fix) but the line may matter:

> + *  *Note:* this method is obsolete, please use TracePoint instead.

Suddenly making it obsolete is not a good idea after rc2, I think.
Or, is it really discussed and decided by matz?

In addition, Thread#set_trace_func should not refer the obsolete method:

> + *  See Kernel#set_trace_func.

Thank you for the review Yusuke-san!

In my opinion Kernel#set_trace_func is obsolete, because it's an older 
and outdated API for TracePoint. We should recommend users try 
TracePoint instead, but it's not an officially deprecated feature. Ok?

> In addition, Thread#set_trace_func should not refer the obsolete method
There is a bug in TracePoint spec where you cannot specify listen for a 
target thread, so Thread#set_trace_func is still acceptable API and 
preferred method for doing this. In this case, referring to 
Kernel#set_trace_func still applies because it carries additional api on 
_this_ API. Until TracePoint spec is fixed, we can still cross-reference 
#set_trace_func.

If you'd like I can supply a patch only for warning on TracePoint 
events, it's up to you.

I don't know.  It is officially deprecated only if matz approve the 
deprecation.  Ko1, do you know?

Also, I'm afraid if TracePoint is not mature enough to deprecate 
Kernel#set_trace_func immediately.
So I think it would be good to include both in 2.0.0.

Yes I know.  My opinion is just a matter of form; it looks strange to me 
that the rdoc of a method that is not deprecated yet depends on a 
deprecated method's.

I prefer this, unless matz officially deprecated only 
Kernel#set_trace_func.  Thanks!

Thanks!

+1


One more point:
zzak uses `obsolete' and mame uses `deprecated'.

zzak wants to say `recommend to use TracePoint' by the word `obsolete'.
But people think this word as `deprecated' like mame-san.

It is as Koichi-san says, I don't mean to deprecate 
Kernel#set_trace_func. Only to advise users to try TracePoint for new 
programs, since #set_trace_func is the old API.

Anyways, here's the patch for only the warning, I'm not sure how to 
commit to separate branches in svn. Yusuke-san, do you think you can do 
this for me?
