The subject says it all, how do you disable one specific warning message troughout the whole progam, ie. all files including the STL headers? My problem is when I create the following object it gives me a shitload of warnings (around 50) when I compile it (debug build) (470 among some others) that all pretty much says "Identifier to long. Identifier truncated to 255 characters in debug information." map obj; I checked for suitable compiler switches but the only one I found (/w) turned off all warnings. Any suggestions? Or even better, a way to avoid these most annoying warnings? And yeah, I''m using SGI''s STL implementation. "Paranoia is the belief in a hidden order behind the visible." - Anonymous

Eh..damn crappy messageboard...
It was supposed to be:

map[string, my_struct] obj;

but with the [] as substitues for less than and greater than. How do you get them to show up correctly anyways?

yes, there is a precompiler directive for that purpose
cause i ain''t using it much and can''t look it up i pretty much don''t know the syntax, but it''s something like:

#disable (warning:####)

where #### is the number of the warning you want to disable (displayed in the compile error display.)

hope that helps

I tried that already.
It disables the warnings in the current file but I still get them in the STL headers (the list is long..).

The correct syntax for the preprocessor directive you mentioned is:

#pragma warning( warning-specifier : warning-number-list [,warning-specifier : warning-number-list...] )

For example #pragma warning(disable:470)

just place it BEFORE you include your headers. like:

#pragma warning(disable:470)

#include
#include
using namespace std;

//do stuff


trust me, it will work. that debug warning is a known bug/feature
