I am sure you are right - but meanwhile it is a significant convenience for users to have a fix of some sort, if only to document that it isn't a problem, for example:
#ifdef BOOST_MSVC # pragma warning (disable : 4180)// qualifier applied to function type has no meaning; ignored #endif
Without this small fix, almost all use of FC++ will produce plenty of warning messages, which will distract from other useful warnings.
I'm not opposing to a fix like this: this basically says that MSVC is generating a bogus warning and we're not going to care about it. I think this one (together with a pragma warning push/pop guard pair) is more than ok for the library. What I strongly oppose is to modify the library code to workaround such a warning. -- Giovanni Bajo
