#pragma warning (disable : 4786)

I use list and set templates in my SDI MFC APP. well, I have no problems with them, but always when I rebuild the whole project I get 40 warnings!

I tried to disable them by using:
#pragma warning (disable : 4786)

but I still get some warnings. question: where exactly do I have to place this? in *.cpp or *.h files? do I have to care about a special position to place it? is my pragma wrong?

example of a warning:
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\xtree(160) : warning C4786: 'std::_Tree<CScene3DS *,CScene3DS *,std::set<CScene3DS *,std::less<CScene3DS *>,std::allocator<CScene3DS *> >::_Kfn,std::less<CScene3DS *>,std::allocator<CScene3DS *>
>::_Tree<CScene3DS *,CScene3DS *,std::set<CScene3DS *,std::less<CScene3DS *>,std::allocator<CScene3DS *> >::_Kfn,std::less<CScene3DS *>,std::allocator<CScene3DS *> >' : identifier was truncated to '255' characters in the debug information

thanks a lot in advance!

SYMPTOMS
Warnings similar to the following are generated even if you use the warning pragma to disable the warning:

warning C4786:
'std::rb_tree<CAiSpanningTree<State,std::less<State>>::TransClosureNode, CAiSpanningTree<State,std::less<State>>::TransClosureNode,std::ident<Cai SpanningTree<State,std::less<State>>::TransClosureNode,CAiSpanningTree<S tate,std::less<State>>::TransClosureNode>,std::less<CAiSpanningTree<Stat e,std::less<State>>::TransClosureNode>>' : identifier was truncated to '255' characters in the debug information
The code:

#pragma warning(disable:4786)
disables warnings that list the file and line number. For example:

C:\test\Text.cpp(25) : warning C4786:



STATUS

Write it in StdAfx.h, before all includes... and if you have still the warnings, look at the post of Gabriel.

ahh, thanks a lot!
