If I remove #include

You can either compile with warning level 3 rather than warning level 4 or you can explicitly suppress just warning 4018.

I was not quite clear about what is bothering me. The problem is that every warning and every compiler error is followed by a lot of meaningless messages. The abovementioned example was intentionally fed with the warning to show you what is going on. I know quite well how to suppress warnings and know how to fix them, but in the source code of the project I'm working now there are quite a lot of warnings, what results in an utter flood of messages during compilation. I want to introduce Boost to my co-workers, but I know that if I tell them that every time they write some code with warnings or errors, they are flooded with meaningless stuff... they will refuse using this tool.

The extra messages are generated allways for templates. It is only possible to suppress the warnings. I'm working with VS2005 and I do not have a lot of warnings (only the secure warnings...). I don't think that someone can provide you more information If you say only that you have warnings.

I've tested the same program on Visual Studio 2008 and there is no unnecessary spam in compiler output, only the proper warning is displayed. I call it spam, because extra messages are completely unrelated to the warning cause. I don't even use Boost in this program, just include a header! Unfortunately, we cannot use VS 2008 it in our office. Tomek

Ok. I see. This is really weird. I have no idea what's causing this behavior. Do other Boost headers have similar effects?

In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Not all headers cause this problem. For example, works fine. I guess these upgradeable mutexes are quite new in Boost and not tested well on rather old compiler? Anyway, before I asked you, I used google and saw that it happens to many people, but found no answers nor workarounds. Tomek
