Unfortunately it isn't that easy in all cases. I am using code
generators for various purposes, especially generating parsers. The
code generated by those programs notoriouly spits outs myriads of
warnings like "unused variable" and others. Being able to disable
those would be a benefit, especially if I could do it for certain
parts of the source code only.
Many users who have to compile my program don't know C/C++ very well,
if at all, and seeing dozens of warnings rushing by is disturbing for
them. I don't want to disable all warnings, though, because on some
platforms useful warnings might occur, because of varying data type
sizes, etc...
