Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if it is possible to supress a specific warning (arbitrary portion of code), as opposed to all warnings of a specific type?
For instance, I am porting code that uses assignments in conditions constantly, but consciously and on purpose. I would like to supress these warning for that code I have already verified, but not altogether, as this is just a part of a bigger project for which we would like to be warned about such situations.
Any pointers? I looked in the User Guide and Quick Reference, but could not find a straightforward answer.

Yes, complex source lines are seldom good. The maintainance costs are very much related to how easy the code is to read and understand.
But there can be a number of problems with rewriting an if statement to move out the assign. The assign may be a sub-expression where evaluation order is important.
The great thing about just adding (assign) != 0 is that it can be inlined without changing any evaluation order.
There is a bit of a difference between designing new code, and finding good code rewrite rules for existing code.
