include/windef.h:#ifndef NO_STRICT
include/windef.h:# ifndef STRICT
include/windef.h:#  define STRICT
include/windef.h:# endif /* STRICT */

So Wine compiles with STRICT.

include/winnt.h:#ifdef STRICT
include/winnt.h:#define DECLARE_HANDLE(a) typedef struct a##__ { int 
unused; } *a
include/winnt.h:#else /*STRICT*/
include/winnt.h:#define DECLARE_HANDLE(a) typedef HANDLE a
include/winnt.h:#endif /*STRICT*/

And DECLARE_HANDLE() creates pointer types.

So from the compiler point of view they are pointers.

>From an implementation point of view... well, that's irrelevant: 
handle-using code is not supposed to care about how handles are 
implemented.
