This is a follow-up question to my previous question.
As suggested in this answer to my previous question, I used ProcessExplorer to analyze a list of handles that my application is using to find a handle leak.
The handles that are leaking are of type Section.
What exactly is a section handle, where is it used and what can cause section handles to leak?
I’m not using memory mapped files in my code.
Quoting Mark Russinovich’s Inside Windows 2000 (what is now called Windows Internals),
So, it’s a memory mapped file. They’d leak if you created a memory mapped file and failed to close it. Pretty hard to be much more specific.
