I want to learn how a task handle is DEFINED, but I have searched in the source code of freertos 7.6.0, and cannot find any place for the DEFINITION, not declaration of xTaskHandle. anyone can help?

See line 96:
http://sourceforge.net/p/freertos/code/HEAD/tree/tags/V7.6.0/FreeRTOS/Source/include/task.h

Note FreeRTOS 8 renames this TaskHandle_t, and includes a #define xTaskHandle TaskHandle_t to allow backward compatibility.

Regards.
