How to disable warnings for particular include files?

I wold like to disable particular warnings for all files that are included, directly or indirectly, by particular include files. For example, I want to disable the warning "you are assigning a string literal to a char*", for all files or files included by files included by a #include <bar/*> (the star in my case means "anything may be here").

The reason is, some of the people I have to program with just can't use "const", so in the end I get lots of warnings about that particular string literal abuse. I would like to ignore those thousands of warnings coming from their code, so I can concentrate on the mistakes in my own code and fix them.

I use Intel C++ and GCC. Some of my buddies use clang, so I would be glad to hear solutions for that too.

Copying my answer from a duplicate thread.

You could use suppression pragmas.

This is supported for GCC and VC++ compilers, and it looks like this:

#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable : 4244)
#pragma warning(disable : 4127)
#pragma warning(disable : 4512)
#include <boost/python.hpp>
#pragma warning(pop)

Here are the detailed specs:
