I propose the following "fix"
typedef cyg_addrword_t* cyg_handle_t;
define cyg_handle_t as pointer to cyg_addrword_t. That way
cyg_handle_t would always be a real pointer and that is how it is
used. cyg_handle_t should only be used for pointers to kernel objects
(i.e. threads, mutexes, ...) , right?
We (Thomas to be more precise) checked this change by running the
kernel test cases and did not encounter any problems.
Actually, no. cyg_handle_t is meant to be an opaque "kernel
handle" which _could_ be a pointer, but also could just as
well be an index into an appropriate table, etc. I think
it's best left as is.
