#pragma warning(disable:4786)

Really annoyed about this - Basically you can't use the STL map class template in VC++ 6 (Pro - SP5) because using it generates about 50-70 long warnings when you compile. These are benign (in fact, pointless) warnings of 'type' 4786. You should be able to disable them using #pragma warning(disable:4786) but it doesn't work. Microsoft openly admit that this is a bug..

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q167355&

and blithely announce "This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET". Well great! What about those of us very happy sticking with VC++ 6? Why on earth don't they provide a patch? map is part of the STL, where, last time I checked, the 'S' stood for 'Standard'. Supporting this template properly is not optional.

Anyone got any ideas? I could upgrade I suppose but don't quite understand all this .NET nonsense. And anyway, I can't find VC++ .NET Professional, only Standard (there's that word again). Can anyone shed any light on that?

Sorry for the angry tone - not happy with this Bill.

Strange !

I am using Visual C++ v6.00 Enterprise Editon (Which according to the link you provided also should have this problem) and I haven't got any problems (I use map quite often).

Most of my source files contains this :
#pragma warning(disable : 4786)
and it works fine !


I guess you only have the problem when building a debug version ?

Wow, that's clever! I wonder if it's the Enterprise Ed. that's behaving? What service pack do you have installed?

I've got round the problem by putting together a little map template of my own using a couple of vectors and the find() generic algo. It's limited but does what I need and seems to work just fine.

Cheers, Ian.

Servicepack ... not sure (IDE wont give you this information - think I have to check timestamps on a number of files - and I haven't got the 'translation table').

If I remember right : SP5.

Yeah I've got SP5 too - it's the latest (and I would imagine last) isn't it? Funny isn't it how you can't get access to this info. Oh well..

Cheers, Ian.
