Suppressing Compiler Warning C++

Question

I'm getting a compile-time error. It complains that I'm initializing a variable, but not referencing it. What's happening is that I initialize it then make a debug print statement that only get's compiled in for a debug build but not a release build. The error in question is warning c4189 (it's treated as an error and won't compile).

Is it possible to suppress this warning? How about warnings in general?

Answer 1

Don't suppress the warning, fix it! Wrap the declaration and initialization of the variable so it only exists in a debug build too.
