OVS_TYPEOF macro doesn’t return the type of object for non __GNUC__ platforms.
Updating it for _WIN32 platforms when used from C++ code.

Thanks for submitting a patch.

Does this solve a problem?

decltype is a C++ feature.  How is it specific to Windows?

Please use #elif instead of introducing a nested #if...#endif.

Thanks,

Ben.

Thanks Ben for the review comments.
Please find my answers for the questions and could you please take a look at v2 of patch with review commented addressed.

>>Does this solve a problem?
 Yes,
  #define OBJECT_CONTAINING(POINTER, OBJECT, MEMBER) \
     ((OVS_TYPEOF(OBJECT)) (void *) \
     ((char *) (POINTER) - OBJECT_OFFSETOF(OBJECT, MEMBER)))
    
  On using ovs macro OBJECT_CONTAINING(which references OVS_TYPEOF), following compilation error is observed on windows C++ application:
  "
  error C2440: '=': cannot convert from 'void *' to 'object *'
  note: Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit cast
   "
  With "decltype" keyword, this issue isn't seen as object is type casted to the right type.

>>decltype is a C++ feature.  How is it specific to Windows?
  Agree with the review comment, as decltype is a C++ construct we can use it for all C++ enabled application, addressed in patch V2.
                    
>>Please use #elif instead of introducing a nested #if...#endif.
  Yes, taken care in patch V2.

Thanks,
Archana
