Hi, I'm wondering if we care about level 4 MSVC warnings. As far as I remember default warning level is lower and I don't see why boost sources should have MSVC-specific pragmas just to disable level 4 warnings.
The default is level 3. I build at level 4 though, and the large numbers of warnings are annoying.
I'd rather resolved the bug as invalid. As an alternative, we could
// Beginning of file #include <boost/config/warnings_off.hpp> ... // end of file #include <boost/config/warnings_on.hpp>
and have an option BOOST_CONFIG_TURN_WARNINGS_OFF.
That's been suggested a couple of times before (e.g. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/168903). There's a lack of consensus about how (or if) these sort of warnings should be handled though. Thanks, Richard Webb
