The information in this article applies to:
  • The Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE) included with: 

        - Microsoft C for MS-DOS, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0ax
    - Microsoft C/C++ for MS-DOS, version 7.0
    - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.0
    - Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.1

SUMMARY

The online Help system for Microsoft C versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax lists the wrong warning level for compiler warnings C4127 and C4135. The help system states that both of these are level 4 warnings; however, they actually appear when compiling at warning level 3 (/W3).

The online Help systems for Microsoft C/C++ versions 7.0 and Visual C++ for Windows version 1.0 incorrectly list the warning level for C4127, but lists the correct warning level for the compiler warning C4135.

The online Help systems for Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition versions 1.0 and 2.0 correctly list the warning level for C4127 as 4.

The online Help system for Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows version 1.5 correctly lists the warning levels for both C4127 and C4135.

Additional reference words: 6.00 6.00a 7.00 8.00 9.00 1.00 1.50 2.00 2.10
