warning C4995 vs error C4995

Question

When I build a project (with VS2012) I get folowing output several times:

 warning C4995: \'DwmEnableComposition\': name was marked as #pragma deprecated
         


        

Answer 1

The problem is the DwmEnableComposition function. Is deprecated as of Windows 8.

When the compiler encounters a deprecated symbol like in this case, it issues C4995.
