Is there an equivalent to SuppressWarnings in Scala?

Question

I was wondering if scala had an equivalent to java's @SuppressWarnings that can be applied to a function or whatever to ignore any deprecation warnings[1] that function emits?

1: Relevant warning in my case is: method stop in class Thread is deprecated: see corresponding Javadoc for more information. I am aware of the problems with stop however there are still some cases where due to legacy code we have to use it.

Answer 1

No, and an enhancement request [1] for such a feature was closed as wontfix.

I agree it would be useful. I expect that the Scala core team aren't against the idea, but they have finite resources and many higher priorities.

Answer 2

There is a simple compiler plugin for this: silencer (a bit shameless plug)

Answer 3

Here is how to suppress all warnings in sbt:

import sbt._
import Keys._
import KeyRanks.DTask
import xsbti.{Reporter, Problem, Position, Severity}

private lazy val compilerReporter = TaskKey[xsbti.Reporter](
  "compilerReporter",
  "Experimental hook to listen (or send) compilation failure messages.",
  DTask
)

val ignoreWarnings = Seq(
  compilerReporter in (Compile, compile) :=
    new xsbti.Reporter {
      private val buffer = collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer.empty[Problem]
      def reset(): Unit = buffer.clear()
      def hasErrors: Boolean = buffer.exists(_.severity == Severity.Error)
      def hasWarnings: Boolean = buffer.exists(_.severity == Severity.Warn)
      def printSummary(): Unit = {

        print("\033c")
        if (problems.nonEmpty) {
          problems.foreach{ p =>
            println("=====================================================")
            println(p.position)
            println(p.message)
            println()
            println()
          }
        }
      }
      def problems: Array[Problem] = buffer.toArray

      def log(problem: Problem): Unit = {
        if (problem.severity == Severity.Error) {
          buffer.append(problem)
        }
      }
      def log(pos: Position, msg: String, sev: Severity): Unit = {
        log(new Problem {
          def category: String = "foo"
          def severity: Severity = sev
          def message: String = msg
          def position: Position = pos
        })
      }
      def comment(pos: xsbti.Position, msg: String): Unit = ()
    }
)
