Yes, but for that is the compiler-switch $PASS_VAR_NO_HINT ON.
Then no hint is put out by the compiler.
When using FPC 2.4.0rc1 or later:
a) compile your code with -vq
b) note the message number for the warning/note/hint you want to suppress
(e.g., 1234)
c) use -vm1234 in the future to globally suppress this warning/note/hint
Ideally it would be, if there was a directive or similar, to suppress it
for given lines (or statements).
one that is easier than {$push} { $HINT OFF} ... {$POP}
As mentioned earlier on this thread: If a hint occurs you have to (or
may want to) check it's valid => but only *once*
If you found the code ok and the hint to be a false positive, then you
want to suppress this hint at the checked location.
(if you later edit the code, you either check again before compiling or
remove the suppress marker)
I know marcros are replaced recursively => do directives in macros work?
=> if so you could enclose the block with 2 short-named macros.
Then again this doesn't work for 3rd party code, that you don't want to
modify => but usually you compile that once, and use the ppu (do ppu
emit hints?)
