IGNORE:warning[,warning]

  
## Parameters  
 `warning`  
 The number of the linker warning to suppress, in the range 4000 to 4999.  
  
## Remarks  
 By default, LINK reports all warnings. Specify **/IGNORE:**`warning` to tell the linker to suppress a specific warning number. To ignore multiple warnings, separate the warning numbers with commas.  
  
 The linker does not allow some warnings to be ignored. This table lists the warnings that are not suppressed by **/IGNORE**:
