Re: [edk2-devel] Build fails with VS2012

["Rebecca Cran" <rebecca@nuviainc.com>]

Similarly the build is also failing with GCC49, using gcc 4.9.2:

/edk2/ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellCommandLib/UefiShellCommandLib.c: In 
function 'ShellSortFileList':
Building ... 
/edk2/OvmfPkg/Library/DxePciLibI440FxQ35/DxePciLibI440FxQ35.inf [X64]
/edk2/ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellCommandLib/UefiShellCommandLib.c:2202:19: error: 
'Dupes' may be used uninitialized in this function 
[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
        *Duplicates = Dupes;
                    ^
