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.

The sad part is that i can't use that name for the mutex even after a reboot. If i can't remove it through code, is there an os task that could do this? Thanks, Eugen Stoianovici
