How do I suppress a specific compiler warning in YARA-X without disabling all warnings?
YARA-X 1.4.0 introduces fine-grained warning suppression using comments placed directly where the warning occurs, rather than disabling warnings globally. This lets you silence individual warnings in edge cases or legacy rules while keeping comprehensive diagnostics active everywhere else, making rule files cleaner and output quieter.
