MQL4 MetaEditor preprocessor to disable compiler warning.

[Mikołaj Gogola]

Hi,
is any preprocessor directive available for compiler to not throw warnings?
I made kind of library with bitwise operations and compiler throws 120 warnings because bool type is expected. I could cast to bool explicitly but the code becomes much less readable. If there is any way to disable compiler warnings for desired block of code I would be very happy to hear about it. I don't want people to receive 120 garbage warnings in they terminal right after #include my lib.

Mikołaj Gogola: is any preprocessor directive available for compiler to not throw warnings?

1. Fixing the warnings will save you hours of debugging.
2. A bool only has the value zero or one. Doing bitwise operations on that is moronic.

1. Fixing the warnings makes my code less readable.
2. I am not doing bitwise on bool but inside if statement.

Example:
if ( flag & 0x00010011 ) // warning
if ( (bool)(flag & 0x0001001) ) // no warning

[William Roeder]

Mikołaj Gogola: if ( flag & 0x00010011 ) // warning

Of course, it gives a warning, you have if(int) which make no sense. Perhaps you want if( int != 0 )

[Mikołaj Gogola]

I want if(int) without need for explicit casting int to bool.

My problem is:
- implicit conversion throws warnings (which I don't want)
- explicit conversion makes code less readable (which I don't want)

Thats why I need directive to disable compiler warnings for the block of code where my bitwise operations are.
To keep operations implicit and terminal logs clean.

After all I just made macro IF(x) if((bool)(x))

@William Roeder gave you the answer. I will spell it out:

#property strict

#define IF(x) if((x) != 0)

void OnStart()
{
        int flag = 0x00010011;
        
        IF(flag & 0x00010011)
        {
                Print("yes");
        } 
}
