Description
Using a later Windows compiler such as VS2017 on 8u, we have the compile error: ...\hotspot\src\os_cpu\windows_x86\vm\os_windows_x86.cpp(460) : warning C4172: returning address of local variable or temporary: dummy We really do want to return the local variable address, we can add a #pragma to avoid this error.
