Warnings greater than 4699 are generated by the second and third passes of the compiler.

MORE INFORMATION

Sample Code

The following sample code demonstrates the problem:

/* Compile options needed: /W4
*/ 

float big;
float big2;
int junk1;

/* Use this pragma instead of the one below to disable all
warnings     */ 
/* #pragma
warning(disable:4756;disable:4706;disable:4699;disable:4244)
*/ 

void main(void)
{
   int i;

/* This pragma will disable only the warnings < 4699 because
of its placement within the function body */ 

#pragma
warning(disable:4756;disable:4706;disable:4699;disable:4244)

   big = +1.0e+99;
   big2 = +1.1e+99;
   junk1 = i;
   if( i=0 )
      i=0;
}
