5892,Why using pragma instead of fixing simple warnings?,christophe vial <cvial@…>,Emil Dotchevski,"In boost/exception/detail/error_info_impl.hpp, a gnu pragma was added to hide a warning that seems to be simple to fix (changing a member function argument name so it does not hide a member with the same name).

I can understand using pragma for things which are complex and will take time and effort to fix, but should we use the pragma for simple cases too?

I don't think that was the intent of the document: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/WarningsGuidelines.

This may seem cosmetic, but for the long term it could impact the overall quality if pragma proliferate and hide real issues.

Thanks,
Christophe
