[Should this really go to boost.users instead?]
This list is fine and is probably more appropriate for this particular posting.
Hi,
loads of warnings are generated when compiling code with VC 7.1 using Boost.Thread and lexical_cast with the warning level set to 4. I use Boost 1.31.0, but at a quick look at the latest versions they seem to have the same problem
[snip warnings]
Would it be possible to get rid of those using pragmas in the header files? I wouldn't mind disabling C4511/4512 globally but the other ones I'd prefer not to. Selectively disabling the other warnings when including the files is practically impossible.
Johan, I'm afraid if you want to fix this, you have to submit a patch.
I guess this has been discussed before, but why not compile with warning level 4 + warnings as errors by default?
IIRC, too much hassle with little benefit. You can search the archives for the past discussions on the topic. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
