Collectgarbage incorrectly listed as deprecated

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#1

The script editor emits a warning when using collectgarbage, stating that it’s deprecated and to use gcinfo instead.

However, the Lua 5.1 manual states the opposite

Function collectgarbage has different arguments. Function gcinfo is deprecated; use collectgarbage("count") instead.

It would be odd to undeprecate the deprecated function and deprecate the non-deprecated function, so this seems like a bug.

I just noticed this today (version 0.451.0.412446), but I’m not sure how long it’s been a problem.

No documentation on gcinfo

I’m pretty sure this is intentional, see:

I understand the confusion (I had the same exact doubts a couple weeks ago) but the Luau blog should resolve any concerns.

I see, but that doesn’t state that gcinfo was undeprecated, so are both deprecated?

gcinfo was never deprecated on Roblox AFAIK

I presume that since the manual stated that it’s deprecated, it would be deprecated on Roblox too. (like how table.setn was deprecated and removed in Roblox)
