I was working on shared memory and this question came in my mind so thought of asking from experts:
What happens to the shared memory if one of the process sharing the memory is killed? What happens if we do hard-kill rather than normal-kill?
Is it dependent on the mechanism we use for shared memory?
If it matters, I am working on Windows.
Provided at least one other thread in another process has an open handle to the file mapping, I would expect the shared memory to remain intact.
