GCC 3.4.3, silencing "extra semicolon" warnings

[Dave Steffen]

Hi Folks,

If you turn GCC 3.4's warnings up high enough, you'll get warnings
about extra semicolons from such things as

   int foo() 
        {
         // ... code in here
        } ;


That semicolon at the end isn't necessary, of course, but I don't
think it hurts anything being there.  We tend to end up with such
things as the result of macro expansion, particularly when using
Boost's preprocessor metaprogramming stuff.

I like all the other stuff I get with -Wextra -Wall... 

is there a compiler switch to turn off the "extra `;' " warnings?

Alternately, can anyone suggest a legal construct that could be placed
between the } and ; (again, say, in a macro definition) to silence the
warning?


Thanks very much!
