Is there an equivalent to SuppressWarnings in Scala?

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.

Solution 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.

update: this feature was eventually implemented in scala 2.13.2 release on 2020-04-22, see this answer

Solution 2:

EDIT: You should use @nowarn

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

Solution 3:

Scala 2.13.2 provides @nowarn annotation developed on the basis of ghik's silencer, for example

import scala.annotation.nowarn
def t = { 0: @nowarn; 1 }

raises no warnings, whilst

def t = { 0; 1 }

gives

warning: a pure expression does nothing in statement position; multiline expressions might require enclosing parentheses
  def t = { 0; 1 }
