TerminateProcess function: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686714(v=vs.85).aspx ExitProcess function: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682658(v=vs.85).aspx
I understood that there is a difference between TerminateProcess and ExitProcess functions. I also understood that TerminateProcess is being used for the Windows Wrapper. I'm proposing another time limit (let's call it exit_time_limit) that calls ExitProcess function (instead of calling TerminateProcess function). I'm hoping that it will cause the application to quit nicely and the result not being rendered useless. Or is there some another way to make the application to quit nicely after a time limit?
