Re: boolean

in wtypes.h I also see

typedef short SHORT;
typedef double DOUBLE;

why need 2 set of primitive type?

one is upper case, other is lower case?

BOOL is just an identifier. Some implementations might

The typedef makes SHORT a synonym for SHORT.
You'll have to ask whoever made those typedefs
why they thought it was necessary.
