==== Memory allocation and sharing ==== | |||
* | |||
(VirtualAlloc / HeapAlloc and friends) | |||
<b>Memory execution</b> - Although Virtual* apis do not pass the stand-alone validation test, we have been successful in allocating memory using CreateFileMapping/MapViewOfFileEx. Based on comments by ms employees [1,2] however, it appears applications that attempt to do this will not pass Windows Store certification regardless. | |||
<b>Shared memory</b> - While it appears DuplicateHandle is available and passes stand-along validation, and memory can be allocated with CreateFileMapping, without process creation & pipes this is of little use. | |||
==== Pipes ==== | |||
(CreateNamedPipe, ConnectNamedPipe, DisconnectNamedPipe) | |||
<b>IPC</b> - None of the current pipe apis passes validation. According to ms employee comments no IPC type mechanisms will be allowed in the Windows Store [3]. | |||
==== Processes ==== | |||
(CreateProcess) | |||
Currently not supported through header definitions. | |||
