Re: Disable Compiler Waring

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

HI Ulrich,
I don't have to worry about compiling my code in other compiler. But I like your idea of putting/enclosing the enum declaration in a namespace.

Thanks & Regards,

I want to disable compiler warning C4482 (nonstandard extension used:
enum 'enum' used in qualified name)

Fix the code:

enum foo { bar };
// wrong
foo f = foo::bar;
// correct
foo f = bar;

Enumeration constants 'leak' into the surrounding namespace. If you don't
want that, enclose the enumeration itself in a namespace:

namespace foo {
enum type { bar };
}
foo::type f = foo::bar;

Secondly, will this have any effect on the project?

Disabling or ignoring warning doesn't directly affect the outcome, but in
general warnings are a sign of low code quality. Your code above is simply
not portable to other compilers that don't support this extension.

Fix it, it's broken.
