return type vector<string> throwing heaps of warnings 1

[Flappy]

Hi me again,

ne1 know why this would be throwing alot of warnings?

class blaba {
vector<string> dosomething(... , ..);
};

vector<string> dosomething(... , ..) {
...
};

it only seems to throw warnings when trying to use a return type of vector<string> - any other type of vector its fine..? the program still compiles and runs fine but the warnings r annoying

Hi again Flappy, it's to do with the length of the identifiers. It's a not a big deal but like you say those warnings can be annoying.

You can disable those particular kind of warning messages by using a #pragma warning message:[tt]

#pragma warning( disable : 4786 )[/tt]

Just add the above line of code somewhere at the head of the offending code.

It's not the length of the identifiers, but of the type name. When you say vector<string>, it's really short for ::std::vector<::std::basic_string<char,::std::char_traits<char>,::std::allocator<char> >,::std::allocator<::std::basic_string<char,::std::char_traits<char>,::std::allocator<char> > >. If you were the compiler, you'd complain, too.

Yeah, it's coz it's larger than 255 characters!!
