>Description:
GCC provides no facility for disabling/enabling a warning for a single function or block of code.  Every other C/C++ compiler has this feature.  Examples:

Visual C++:  #pragma warning
Borland C++: #pragma warn
Watcom C++:  #pragma warning

Here is some sample syntax in Visual C++:

  int a;
  #pragma warning( disable : 4705 )  // diable warning
  void func() {
    a;
  }
  #pragma warning( default : 4705 )  // restore original setting

GCC has no such feature, requiring warnings to be disabled globally for an entire file (or project).
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
Implement the "warning" pragma.  Or, provide GCC attributes for disabling/enabling warnings.
