That aside, should we consider how to deal with #pragma warning(disable) in MSVC (do other compilers have similar pragmas)? Should it be disallowed?
No. The majority of warnings that I see from Boost are just noise. Sometimes these are really annoying to get rid of without #pragmas.
Otherwise it's all too easy for a library maintainer who doesn't want to fix a certain warning to just stick a pragma in there to disable it.
I don't think its a good idea to make rules assuming that library maintainers are going to irresponsibly suppress serious warnings. If this happens a lot we can worry about it then--but I think we'd have more serious problems than warnings at that point. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
