Suppress -Wunknown-pragmas warning in GCC

Question

I try to ignore warnings coming from some 3rd party header files like this:

#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored \"-Wunknown-pragmas\"
         


        

Answer 1

I've run into this annoyance, too. According to the GCC manpage -Wall turns on -Wunknown-pragmas for you, so just manually disable it using -Wno-unknown-pragmas after -Wall.

There is a GCC feature request to make this work using #pragma GCC diagnostic:

• C++ preprocessor ignores #pragma GCC diagnostic
