Visual Studio 2010 (C++): suppress C4706 warning temporarily

Question

When you compile the following C++ source file in Visual Studio 2010 with warning level /W4 enabled

#include   // for printf
#include 

        

Answer 1

Instead of trying to hide your warning, fix the issue it's complaining about; your assignment has a value (the value on the left side of the assignment) that can be legally used in another expression.

You can fix this by explicitly testing the result of the assignment:

if ((result = strcmp(str0, str1)) != 0) 
{
    printf("Strings are different\n");
}
