The "experiment" would also probably have to grow ADDRESS.<BR>
And then for interop I'd have to say, like HANDLE = BITS 32 FOR ADDRESS, if that is allowed.<BR>
And then..it gets confused..where would I get "32" from?<BR>
Compiler would have to truncate/extend pointers. Not sure it is willing to.<BR>
<BR>
Another good theoretical route is, indeed widen all the pointers, and then #ifdef the C code to take UINT64 and cast to pointers..and convert structs back/forth..but for Win32 we generally don't have such C code as we do for Posix. Darn.<BR>
I'll think about it more later but maybe it doesn't really work out.<BR>
