QuestionOperating System Mutex Pin
Tristan Rhodes16-Jul-09 2:01
Tristan Rhodes16-Jul-09 2:01 
Hi Guys,

I can't seem to find any articles on how the OS Mutex's behave if they are not closed. I'm looking to use a mutex handle to check whether there are instances of various applications open prior to running an installer, but one of the apps is a C++ app, and in the event of a catastrophic failure, it may end a process without releasing the underlying Mutex.

What effect would this have on the system? Would the Mutex state be invariant, or does ending the holding process free the mutex as well?

Regards

Tris
