I wanted to check if we could introduce a generic handle concept in ODP (something like odp_handle_t carrying purpose similar to void * ) which can be used for API that need to handle multiple types in one call. Ex. an API that works on both Packet and Buffer Type .Such use cases can take generic handle in input and map it to either per requirement.
If agreed, following defines the purpose.. odp_handle_t is a generic handle type which implementation should implement in such a way that it could be map to represent any other type. It is to aid an API which handle multiple types. Example , odp_handle_t can represent as odp_buffer_t or odp_packet_t Thanks Shally
