'identifier' : decorated name length exceeded, name was truncated

The decorated name was longer than the compiler limit (4096), and was truncated. To avoid this warning and the truncation, reduce the number of arguments or name length of identifiers used.

It may be still necessary for older MSVC's, and it may even still be necessary for VS 2010. You'd have to try. This warning was always generated by Debug builds of stuff using STL extensively (or sometimes even incidentally...)

You'd have to try it without it to see.....


HTH,

David

Hello

I still have some the following old MSC compiler directive in several statistics engines:

#if defined(_MSC_VER)
#pragma warning (disable:4503)
#endif

It was put long ago as a result of some issues with (surprise) some MS compiler, but I do not remember exactly why.

I wonder whether this still is necessary.

Thanks
