What is the range of a Windows HANDLE on a 64 bits application?
MSDN states: Interprocess Communication Between 32-bit and 64-bit Applications 64-bit versions of Windows use 32-bit handles for interoperability. When sharing a handle between 32-bit and 64-bit applications, only the lower 32 bits are significant, so it is safe to truncate the handle (when passing it from 64-bit to 32-bit) or sign-extend the handle (when passing … Read more
