c++ - /Za compiler directive does not compile system headers in VS2010

Question

I wanted to disable language extensions to be able to do some tests in my project. I found that I must set /Za compiler directive from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0k0w269d.aspx, but after this I have errors if I include windows headers. Is there a way to write standard compliant code(enforced by the compiler, not by other programmers/code reviews) in VS2010 and still use system headers?

Thanks you!

Answer 1

Isolate your use of <windows.h> into a source file(s) that you don't compile with /Za and use the parameter on the other files.
