Disable all linker warnings in Visual C++ Express

Alessandro — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 20:42:09 +0000

When i moved to Visual C++ 2010 Express, i noticed i can no longer disable specific linker warnings (the most annoying one being the LNK4099, that complains about missing PDB files). After a quick look, I discovered there’s a filter in place that doesn’t allow the user to switch off any of the warnings that are contained in a specific global array.

To remove this limitation, arm yourself with a hex editor, open link.exe and patch the following bytes:

Version: Visual C++ 2010 Express
Executable: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\link.exe
SHA1: 6EFA60D80A6C8693DD9F6D3FF8A222B46FFFDAD0
File offset: 00056786h
Original bytes: 74h 16h
Replace with: 90h 90h

Version: Visual C++ 2012 Ultimate
Executable: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin\link.exe
SHA1: 3B57459E0F1DFA0F69325D98DF0FDF2ADAE06720
File offset: 0x00061588h
Original bytes: 74h 0Bh
Replace with: 90h 90h

That’s it! Now you should be able to suppress all the warnings you want adding a command line option to the linker (i.e.: /ignore:4099)

Many thanks to Smjert for providing me the Visual C++ 2012 Ultimate executable.
