disable #pragma message("...") in Visual C++?

Question

I am consuming a header file that's peppered with annoying messages like:

// annoying.h:

#pragma message("Compiling " __FILE__ )

I would prefer a clean build output when there are no actual problems. Is there anything I can do before I include this file to stop the messages from being printed?

// not_annoying.cpp:

// PUT MAGIC HERE
#include "annoying.h"

Answer 1

Just define a macro that makes the message pragma disappear.

#define message(ignore)
