Hi,

there are 4 warnings when compiling the following code under VC++
6:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main() {
vector<string> data;
return 0;
}

The compiler says: "identifier was truncated to '255' characters
in the debug information"
I do not think that this is a serious problem but I would like to
get rid of these warning. If I include

#pragma warning(disable:4786)

there are still 2 warnings.
Is there a possibility to limit the maximum size of a string or
anything else to disable these warnings?

If possible, upgrade to a newer version of the compiler. MS does
produce some limited free versions known as "Express Editions". If
you must stay with VC6, you will have to use the #pragma in
multiple places, because it tends to be ignored. See also this KB

Thank you guys,
the #pragma was placed between the using namespace std; and the
main-function. If it stands above the headers there are 0 warnings.

The problem that Doug hints about, is that this warning tends to come back
at unexpected times. There is more than one bug here...

If you are not using MFC classes, but the C++ Standard Library, the Express
Edition of VC8 (2005) is lightyears ahead of the ancient VC6.
