Can you use a typedef? When I read code that uses HANDLE, I immediately know this is Windows and which sorts of APIs can accept this HANDLE value. Now when I see void * it's just an opaque C type. We've lost information :(. /* Since windows.h drags in a lot of headers, we define equivalent * typedefs for some core Win32 types. */ typedef void *QEMU_WIN32_HANDLE; /* is there a more concise name? */ ...
