I've written a two short programs that use anonymous pipes to communicate. The parent process shares the pipe handles by setting the standard IO handles for the child: // -- Set STARTUPINFO for the spawned process ------------------------- ZeroMemory(&m_ChildSI, sizeof(STARTUPINFO)); GetStartupInfo(&m_ChildSI); m_ChildSI.dwFlags ...

Since I didn't perceive Windows handles to be 'pointers' in the pure sense (being 'handles'), I'd got into the habit of comparing them with 0 rather than 'NULL'. Clearly they're implemented internally as pointers nowadays, but ...
