- Since C++11 the standard mandates the [`_Pragma` operator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/preprocessor/impl) which is intended for use inside macros.
- With this you can improve the situation by wrapping all this compiler switching into a central macro definition (**MSVC is untested!**):
- ```
- // see https://stackoverflow.com/a/45783809
- #define DO_PRAGMA_(x) _Pragma (#x)
- #define DO_PRAGMA(x) DO_PRAGMA_(x)
#if defined(_MSC_VER)#define PUSH_WARNING_STATE DO_PRAGMA(warnings(push)) # untested!#elif defined(__clang__)#define PUSH_WARNING_STATE DO_PRAGMA(clang diagnostic push)#elif defined(__GNUC__)#define PUSH_WARNING_STATE DO_PRAGMA(GCC diagnostic push)#endif#if defined(_MSC_VER)#define POP_WARNING_STATE DO_PRAGMA(warnings(poph)) # untested!#elif defined(__clang__)#define POP_WARNING_STATE DO_PRAGMA(clang diagnostic pop)#elif defined(__GNUC__)#define POP_WARNING_STATE DO_PRAGMA(GCC diagnostic pop)#endif#if defined(_MSC_VER)#define DISABLE_WARNING(WARNING_NAME) DO_PRAGMA(warnings(disable : WARNING_NAME##_MSC)#elif defined(__clang__)#define DISABLE_WARNING(WARNING_NAME) DO_PRAGMA(clang diagnostic ignored WARNING_NAME##_CLANG)#elif defined(__GNUC__)#define DISABLE_WARNING(WARNING_NAME) DO_PRAGMA(GCC diagnostic ignored WARNING_NAME##_GCC)#endif- ```
- Which can be used like:
- ```
- // find some custom central naming for your warnings
- #define WARN_UNINITIALIZED_CLANG "-Wuninitialized"
- #define WARN_UNINITIALIZED_GCC "-Wuninitialized"
- int main(int argc, char **argv) {
- float a = 0, b;
- PUSH_WARNING_STATE
- DISABLE_WARNING(WARN_UNINITIALIZED);
- if(a != b) {
- POP_WARNING_STATE
- return a == b;
- }
- }
- ```
- Compiling gives only the second error, as intended:
- ```
- $ g++ -Wall -pedantic test.cpp
- test.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
- test.cpp:39:12: warning: 'b' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
- 39 | return a == b;
- | ~~^~~~

- Limitations:
- - problem with warnings that can only be disabled on some platforms (-> pragma might trigger a warning)
