I find it very irritating that VC++ does not support #warning, and have
opened a feature request:

https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio?query=Add%20C%2FC%2B%2B%20%23warning%20preprocessor%20directive

The last time #warning was suggested it was rejected because not enough
people voted for it. So please consider upvoting it on the above link.

The lack of #warning affects Boost libraries in that developers avoid
otherwise useful warnings because of the hassle for using an extension not
supported by VC++.
