Visual Studio166
Hi All,



I'm sorry about reposting this question several times over the last week,

but I'd like to get an answer -- even if it's just "sit down and shut up."



I have written a macro-based Interface Definition Language:



www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Boost.Interfaces



which produces a lot of internal errors and compiler limit errors (C1001, C1055,

C1067) when compiled on VC7.1 with /Zi or /ZI. The library compiles on GCC

3.4.1, Comeau 4.3.3 and Intel 8.0, and with fewer errors on VC8.0 beta, so I

don't think the errors reflect non-conformance with the C++ standard.



I've found I can eliminate most of the errors by surrounding the interface

definitions with



#pragma component(mintypeinfo, on)

...

#pragma component(mintypeinfo, off)



but this is not ideal, since most of the code is generated by user level macros,

and pragmas cannot be generated by macros.



What I really need is _Pragma, which I know is not available. Is there a

Microsoft-specific attribute I can specify, perhaps using __declspec, which will

have the effect of suppressing debug info?



Best Regards,

Jonathan

AFAIK the #pragma component(mintypeinfo) is the only way to suppress

type information for a type.



The absence of answers most probably means that there is no other known way.
