L_UINT_PTR	Defined as UINT_PTR
	Unsigned variation of L_INT_PTR
L_LONG_PTR	Defined as LONG_PTR
	Guaranteed to be the same size as a pointer. The size changes with pointer size (32/64). Used where a pointer is cast to an integer type
L_ULONG_PTR	Defined as ULONG_PTR
	Unsigned variation of L_LONG_PTR
L_SIZE_T	Defined as SIZE_T
	Maximum number of bytes to which a pointer can refer
L_SSIZE_T	Signed version of L_SIZE_T
L_IFDTYPE	Defined as L_SIZE_T
Other types
L_VOID	Defined as void
	Used as a void

	See Windows SDK
Booleans
L_BOOL	Defined as BOOL
	Used as a boolean value
