I think there should be a boost policy about that. This problem comes back again and again in boost.
I agree.
In Openoffice.org there is a tough policy. Have a look at: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writing_warning-free_code
Indeed, but it does include the getout "When all else fails There are cases where the only sensible solution is to suppress warnings for a given chunk of code: " and the warnings in question often cannot conveniently be 'cured' by changes to the code (though Steven Watanbe made some interesting suggestions to Matthias). I'd certainly like to see a Boost policy that requires people to make a good effort on getting warning free - but it is certainly a hassle - sometimes a 'cure' on one platform provokes a warning on another :-(( Paul --- Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB +44 1539561830 & SMS, Mobile +44 7714 330204 & SMS pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
