Browse - programming tips - stop stl warnings in visual studio

Date: 2007nov22
Language: C++
Platform: Visual Studio 6

Q.  When I use STL (Standard Template Library) in Visual Studio 6
    I get hundreds of useless warnings.  Can I stop them?

Example warning:

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\xtree(72) : warning
C4786: 'std::_Tree<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >,std::pair<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >> const ,i nt>,std::map<std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >,int,ci_less,std::allocator<int> >::_Kfn,ci_less,std::allocator<int> >>::const_iterator::operator->' : identifier was truncated to '255' characters >>in the debug information


A.  Yes, but only if you include the STL headers in your
stdafx.h file.

Add this at the end of the of that file:

	#pragma warning(disable: 4786) // no big name warnings for STL
	#include <map>
	#include <vector>
	... other STL headers ... 
What this info useful to you? You can donate to say thanks
