How can I work around warning C4505 in third party libraries?

Question

I\'ve got a project that uses Crypto++ for a few hashing functions. Recently, I decided to clean things up a bit and use warning level 4 on MSVC++.

Here\'s what my s

Answer 1

If you just need a few hashing functions, create a separate source file with 4505 disabled to include the crapto headers and write your own header file to define the function prototypes you use.

Answer 2

The compiler can only determine unreferenced functions after it finished parsing the compiled source file. Move the corresponding #pragma disable out of the push/pop scope so it will still be in effect at the end of the file:

#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable: 4100) //Unreferenced formal parameter
#pragma warning(disable: 4244) //Conversion, possible loss of data
#pragma warning(disable: 4512) //Assignment operator could not be generated
#pragma warning(disable: 4127) //Conditional expression is constant
#define CRYPTOPP_ENABLE_NAMESPACE_WEAK 1
#include <cryptopp/md5.h>
#include <cryptopp/sha.h>
#pragma warning(pop)
#pragma warning(disable: 4505) //Unreferenced local function has been removed
