The object-set-name-string function of eieio has changed to
eieio-object-set-name-string, at one point my
code (ergoemacs-mode) depended on that function, so I had to use a macro to
pick the right version for different versions of emacs.

You may keep it or change it as you wish.  Today ergoemacs-mode no longer
uses this function.

Just an FYI, prompted by Stefan.

The usual way for renaming a function in Emacs is to mark it as
deprecated and make it an alias for the new name, and after a few more
Emacs releases remove it altogether. So if you want to stay compatible
with older Emacsen, simply continue to use `object-set-name-string' for
the time being. You will get a warning on byte-compilation, but just
ignore it (or turn off the deprecation warning if it bothers you too
much).

Thanks David

I don't believe object-set-name-string was marked as a depreciated
function. I may have not been running against the trunk, but I believe my
compile failed instead of issued a warning.

I think the authors intent is that people access the object name with
eieio-named so using this function directly was not supported.

I have changed my code to solely use eieio-named, so compile warnings on
either 24.3 or 24.4 are not issued.

emacs-24.3.92 -Q -l eieio

C-h f object-set-name-string

    object-set-name-string is an alias for `eieio-object-set-name-string'
    in `eieio.el'.

    (object-set-name-string OBJ NAME)

    This function is obsolete since 24.4;
    use `eieio-object-set-name-string' instead.

My misunderstanding.
