c++ - How to suppress specific warnings in g++

Question

I want to suppress specific warnings from g++. I'm aware of the -Wno-XXX flag, but I'm looking for something more specific. I want some of the warnings in -Weffc++, but not all of them. Something like what you can do with lint - disable specific messages.

Is there a built in way in gcc to do this? Do I have to write a wrapper script?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, this feature isn't provided by g++. In VC++, you could use #pragma warning to disable some specific warnings. In gcc, the closest you can have is diagnostic pragmas, which let you enable/disable certain types of diagnostics for certain files or projects.

Edit: GCC supports pushing/popping warnings since 4.6.4 (see changelog)
