Is there a way to free a mutex which was locked by a process that died? I'm using a named mutex to synchronize access for some processes on a windows machine. One of those processes died while holding the mutex and now i can't get access to it (not even after killing every process that had any access to it). Is there a way to handle this situation through code?
Sorry, not for the moment. I'll need to think about an explicit unlock operation for some synchronization mechanisms for Boost 1.37. Ion
