Hi, In the Current ODP design, we are having the typedef for different handles defined in the same header file. This causes a circular dependency between odp_buffer.h and odp_buffer_pool.h file as the buffer API uses pool handle and pool API uses buffer Handle. We would like to avoid this circular dependency by having all the handles defined in a separate file odp_typedefs.h file. The application user will not have any impact as the application includes odp.h file.
