How to figure out what to use in place of functions which will be deprecated in next release?

I want to use cusparseCreateIdentityPermutation() to sort my COO matrix value array before passing it into cusparseXcoo2csr(), but the documentation says that cusparseCreateIdentityPermutation() function will be deprecated in the next major release. It does not however mention what to use instead.

Can someone tell me how to properly research suitable replacements? Am I correct in assuming NVIDIA provides alternatives before deprecating the older function, or do I have to wait for the next release and then refactor my code based on the updated documentation?

Hi @SBenner. For cuSPARSE, we will provide an alternative before deprecating the old API in a major release. We’ll give users enough time (at least 1 major release cycle) to migrate to the new alternative.
