What is the Preprocessor define to disable the Warning "GetVersionExW': was declared deprecated"

Question

I'm not allowed to change the code. So I can not use #pragma. So my Question is what is the Preprocessor define that I need to pass to the compiler to disable the warning of the function GetVersionExW?

I tried:

• _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

• _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE

• _WINSOCK_DEPRECATED_NO_WARNINGS

• _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE

Answer 1

The API call GetVersionExW is declared using __declspec(deprecated). There is no way to disable a warning for particular API call.

Your only option is to disable Warning C4996 altogether, either through a preprocessor pragma warning before including the respective header file, or globally in the project settings (compiler option /wd).

Answer 2

Try this:

#pragma warning(disable: <warning number>)
