#pragma warning has no effect

Hello everyone,

There is a strange situation with my project now. In the stdafx.h file I
have a following #pragma directive:
#pragma warning( disable : 4786 )

Since it is in stdafx.h, this directive is global.

It worked fine for a long time, but after the latest changes (there are a
lot of them actually so I would be reluctant to roll back) I receive dozens
of warnings C4786 during compilation. It does not prevent the program from
being built but I am still curious - how could it be? And of course it is
pretty annoying :(
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Mike

Does a complete rebuild help ?

If not, then search all the headers you use for a warning pragma that
enables this warning or sets the warning level. (Investigate all occurences
of "#pragma warning" in the headers.)
