Description

On Windows and Xbox we have special header files to re-enable legacy UE types, such as DWORD. On Linux, Mac and other platforms there is no such mechanism. This prevents us from compiling plug-ins with third party libraries that declare such type names.

We should either provide a way to support these type names, or we should get rid of this mechanism altogether (as suggested by @JoshA).

Steps to Reproduce
  • Declare typedef DWORD
  • Compile on Mac and Linux
