inhibit compiler warning C4624 for a class hierarchy

Error Message
'derived class' : destructor could not be generated because a base class
destructor is inaccessible


A destructor was not accessible in a base class and was therefore not
generated for a derived class. Any attempt to create an object of this type
on the stack will cause a compiler error.



For this particular hierarchy, that's completely acceptable and intended.
The objects should be allocated on the heap, used polymorphically, and
deleted using a base class function.

Can I mark the base class in any way such that this message isn't generated
for derived classes? Using #pragma warning (disable : 4624) in the header
file has the undesirable side effect of inhibiting the warning for unrelated
classes.
