Sorry to be slow on the response.

I'm happy to work on reducing the warnings in level 4, but unfortunately the regression tests are not run with these settings. Since I don't have access to the .net compiler here it is difficult to get the needed feedback to resolve them. So if we want to make this a requirement we definitely need regression tests to use this policy. > (And other MS specific unhelpful warnings which could be dealt with by > > #ifdef _MSC_VER or BOOST_? > #pragma warning (disable : 4800) // inefficient bool conversion? > #endif > > As a general point, is there any reason why 'known to be unhelpful' warnings > like this cannot be disabled in Boost code? I'd be fine with putting this in the config, but I could see some controversy about this. It isn't entirely clear to me which code is producing these, so maybe you can send me the details offlist and I can look into it.
