I'm running unit tests using Boost::test that starts up Boost threads, shared memory, and message queues. There are multiple tests in the suite. While writing a test it can fail prematurely and leave behind shared memory and message queues. Then when I run the tests again I can have trouble with mutexes, etc that already exist. I am working under Windows but eventually will be moving to Linux. Is there some way (other than rebooting) to force a cleanup of all the system objects that are created in the background? Or even a way of determining what has outlived its usefulness? Thanks. ___________________________________ John Davies Contractor Home Respiratory Care Philips Home Healthcare Solutions 1740 Golden Mile Highway Monroeville, PA 15146 Email: john.davies@philips.com Fax: 724-387-4109 ________________________________ The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally protected under applicable law.
