Most of the time it is easy and it results in a safer, cleaner and more readable code (at least for me). When I can't, I include a local #pragma that I disable immediately after. Generally, I do not need this many times. Now, I have only one pragma valid for one line in my entire souce. I am pretty sure that I have more undetected bugs that pragmas :-) Miguel
