hi all,
my question is about the re-usage of process id’s by the nt kernel.
usually a pid is reused on nt quite quickly - as oppsed to unix. we use the
pid of a process to create interprocess communication facilities
(mailslots).
what happens if a process terminates, but another process has a handle open
to it ? the process object (containing the PID) still exists until all
handles to it are closed. will the PID stored in this process object
eventually be reused for another process ?
thx
thomas
