What do you mean when you say that "usage of the warning pragma is
fine for now". It does not work.

Using the warning pragma in the function to change the state of a warning that has a number larger than 4699 will only take effect after the end of the function. The following example shows the correct placement of warning pragmas to disable a code-generation warning message, and then to restore it."

Since OBJECT_OFFSETOF() is indirectly used through all the *_FOR_EACH() (through ASSIGN_CONTAINER() and  OBJECT_CONTAINING()) macros, the OVS build on Windows gets littered with "uninitialized variable" warnings.
