(C++) Windows typedefs

 

The header file 'windows.h' contains some typedefs. I list some here:

 

//From the header file windef.h:
typedef unsigned long ULONG;
typedef ULONG *PULONG;
typedef unsigned short USHORT;
typedef USHORT *PUSHORT;
typedef unsigned char UCHAR;
typedef UCHAR *PUCHAR;
typedef char *PSZ;

typedef unsigned long       DWORD;
typedef int                 BOOL;
typedef unsigned char       BYTE;
typedef unsigned short      WORD;
typedef float               FLOAT;
typedef FLOAT               *PFLOAT;
typedef BOOL near           *PBOOL;
typedef BOOL far            *LPBOOL;
typedef BYTE near           *PBYTE;
typedef BYTE far            *LPBYTE;
typedef int near            *PINT;
typedef int far             *LPINT;
typedef WORD near           *PWORD;
typedef WORD far            *LPWORD;
typedef long far            *LPLONG;
typedef DWORD near          *PDWORD;
typedef DWORD far           *LPDWORD;
typedef void far            *LPVOID;
typedef CONST void far      *LPCVOID;

typedef int                 INT;
typedef unsigned int        UINT;
typedef unsigned int        *PUINT;

/* Types use for passing & returning polymorphic values */
typedef UINT_PTR            WPARAM;
typedef LONG_PTR            LPARAM;
typedef LONG_PTR            LRESULT;
