Bug #18016: fiddle\types.rb typealias maybe wrong

----------------------------------------
in ...\lib\ruby\3.0.0\fiddle\types.rb

module Fiddle
  module Win32Types
    def included(m) # :nodoc:
      m.module_eval{
        # ...
        typealias "HANDLE", "uintptr_t"
        # ...
        typealias "HINSTANCE", "unsigned int"
        typealias "HDC", "unsigned int"
        typealias "HWND", "unsigned int"
      }
    end
    module_function :included
  end
  # ...
end

HINSTANCE, HDC, HWND are pointers to struct, so in 64-bit system, the size of them will be 64 bits, not unsigned int (32bits).

In minwindef.h :

DECLARE_HANDLE(HINSTANCE);

In windef.h :

DECLARE_HANDLE(HDC);
DECLARE_HANDLE            (HWND);

In winnt.h :

#define DECLARE_HANDLE(name) struct name##__{int unused;}; typedef struct name##__ *name

So I suggest typealias in types.rb change to:

        typealias "HINSTANCE", "void*"
        typealias "HDC", "void*"
        typealias "HWND", "void*"
