Re: [Boost-users] Interprocess condition and process crashes

Gabriel Burca escribió:

I'm using Boost 1.39 on WindowsXP and I noticed that if a process crashes while waiting on an interprocess condition variable, the signaling process blocks forever in subsequent calls to notify_all().

It looks to me like boost is not using the native facilities, but some emulation, so is this scenario not supported by the emulation?

Yes, it's a limitation of the emulation. Unblocking is not also guaranteed by native facilities. Best, Ion
