Hi,

Is there any minimum value for pointers, that is consistent across all
windows versions? This must include all pointers a user-space program could
specify, also those returned by e.g. WinSock. The thing I want to do is
allow the user (i'm making a library, this is not the end user, but the one
who writes "modules" for my IRC proxy) to use either names or handles in the
same parameter to a function:

if parameter is less than ADDRESS_MINIMUM
then is_handle
else is_string

I hope this qualifies as on topic, even though it it strictly not assembly.

Thanks,
Marius
