Re: [boost] warning policy issue

My recollection (dim!) is that 7.1 works the same.

Are you quite sure you are casting to the right type?

Or is suppressing the line of least resistance (sounds a bit dodgy to me).

There are a few warning conditions in Visual C++ 7.1 that were removed in later versions. I think their removal is a good indication of their worth (the ones I've come across were certainly buggy). They should probably just be suppressed with something like the following. #if defined(BOOST_MSVC) #pragma warning(push) #if BOOST_MSVC < 1400 #pragma warning(disable:4244) #endif #endif // .... #if defined(BOOST_MSVC) #pragma warning(pop) #endif
