It's true that docs.microsoft.com says:

"""The _ReadBarrier, _WriteBarrier, and _ReadWriteBarrier compiler
intrinsics and the MemoryBarrier macro are all deprecated and should not
be used. For inter-thread communication, use mechanisms such as
atomic_thread_fence and std::atomic<T>, which are defined in the C++
Standard Library. For hardware access, use the /volatile:iso compiler
option together with the volatile keyword."""

And these attributes have been here since these builtins were added in
r192860.

However:

- cl.exe does not warn on them even with /Wall
- none of the replacements are useful for C code
- we don't add __attribute__((__deprecated__())) to any other declarations in intrin.h
- intrin0.h in the MSVC headers declares _ReadWriteBarrier() (but without the deprecation attribute), so you get inconsistent deprecation warnings depending on if you include intrin.h or intrin0.h

The motivation is that compiling sqlite.h with clang-cl produces a
deprecation warning with clang-cl for _ReadWriteBarrier(), but not with
cl.exe.
