-Wundef is not being ignored with pragma in g++

Given the following code: 

#if MACRO_WITHOUT_A_VALUE
int var;
#endif

int main(){}

When compiled with, g++ -std=c++1z -Wundef -o main main.cpp,
it produces the following warning: 

main.cpp:1:5: warning: "MACRO_WITHOUT_A_VALUE" is not defined [-Wundef]
 #if MACRO_WITHOUT_A_VALUE
     ^

I'd like to keep the warning flag enabled, but suppress this particular instance.
I apply the following:

#ifdef __GNUC__
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wundef"
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#endif

#if MACRO_WITHOUT_A_VALUE
int var;
#endif

#ifdef __GNUC__
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
#endif

int main(){}

This only solves the problem in clang++.

The command clang++ -std=c++1z -Wundef -o main main.cpp builds without warnings.
The command g++ -std=c++1z -Wundef -o main main.cpp builds with the same [-Wundef] warning as before.

How can I suppress -Wundef warnings in g++? 

g++ (Ubuntu 5.1.0-0ubuntu11~14.04.1) 5.1.0
clang version 3.8.0

This isn't disabling the warning, but fixing the preprocessor code to avoid it. The below tests are based on a similar issue here, using clang -Weverything...

#define ZERO 0
#define ONE 1
#define EMPTY

// warning: 'NOTDEFINED' is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
#if NOTDEFINED
#warning NOTDEFINED
#endif

// false
#if ZERO
#warning ZERO
#endif

// true
#if ONE
#warning ONE
#endif

// error: expected value in expression
#if EMPTY
#warning EMPTY
#endif

// false
#if defined(NOTDEFINED) && NOTDEFINED
#warning NOTDEFINED
#endif

// false
#if defined(ZERO) && ZERO
#warning ZERO
#endif

// true
#if defined(ONE) && ONE
#warning ONE
#endif

// error: expected value in expression
#if defined(EMPTY) && EMPTY
#warning EMPTY
#endif

The one liner #if defined(SOME_MACRO) && SOME_MACRO can avoid this warning. To explicitly handle the case...

#if defined(DEBUG_PRINT)
#if DEBUG_PRINT
... true
#else
... false
#endif
#else
#error DEBUG_PRINT must be defined
#endif

To handle EMPTY see this: How to test if preprocessor symbol is #define'd but has no value?

What I've done before when third party headers were inducing warnings was to wrap them in my own private header that uses #pragma GCC system_header to just silence all the warnings from that header. I use my own wrapper to keep the includes neat and allow for an additional customization point in the future if needed.
