windows equivalent of ipcs -m

[xwb]

I have a program which uses shared memory in windows. When the program crashes, how do I find out whether the shared memory is still allocated?

On Linux, ipcs -m will show what is allocated and ipcrm will clear it. How do I do this on XP? Anything would be great, even if it is buried in some rarely used menu option in a rarely used Visual Studio utility.

In Windows there is no support for shared memory sections without a process holding a handle to them. afaik...

So there is no direct equivalent to ipcs -m.

So if all the processes using the same area of shared memory die, then that area is automatically freed?

VMMap by Sysinternals may be of use, perhaps?

Looks like it might do the job - I'll check it out this evening.
