I was not quite clear about what is bothering me. The problem is that every
warning and every compiler error is followed by a lot of meaningless
messages. The abovementioned example was intentionally fed with the warning
to show you what is going on. I know quite well how to suppress warnings and
know how to fix them, but in the source code of the project I'm working now
there are quite a lot of warnings, what results in an utter flood of
messages during compilation.

I want to introduce Boost to my co-workers, but I know that if I tell them
that every time they write some code with warnings or errors, they are
flooded with meaningless stuff... they will refuse using this tool.
