More specifically, why is the same thing typedef‘d with multiple different names in many cases, and why typedef pointer types (obscuring logic at times)?
For example:
typedef const WCHAR *LPCWSTR, *PCWSTR;
What is the point of that?
The reason there is both PCWSTR and LPCWSTR is that in ancient times there was a difference. LPCWSTR used to be const WCHAR FAR *.
