Killing app/server side resources

Hello,

I have a question about killing an application in v7.0 or higher system.
If app has several window server, file server etc resources 
allocated/open and application is killed, what happens to server side 
resources. Are they closed or freed automatically?
I assume servers should logon to client threads and free all resources 
used by given thread when resources are still open and client thread 
died. Am I correct? Unfortunately I did not found any explicit info 
about that in sdk docs.

I understand this is a very general question.

Thank you

You are correct. The kernel knows the state of the user side application -
it cleans up its client server objects and gets the server to do cleanup
too. I believe this is covered in the Symbian OS internals book.

Hamish

Actually, can't remember if kernel does all cleanup, or if it gets server to
do it. However its definitely taken care of for you :-)
