hi,
this is not really a postgres issue.

i am trying to compile a trigger function under MINGW32. its giving the
said warning. the call of bzero is

bzero(data, sizeof(AuditData));

$ gcc --version
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

the code compiles fine under linux gcc (version not sure)

can anyone please suggest how to prevent this warning.

bzero() is long obsolete, and was never officially standard AFAIK.
Use memset() instead:

memset(data, 0, sizeof(AuditData));

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
