[New-bugs-announce] [issue36977] SharedMemoryManager should relase its resources when its parent process dies

[Pierre Glaser]

New submission from Pierre Glaser <pierreglaser at msn.com>:

The new multiprocessing.managers.SharedMemoryManager spawns a server that delivers memory segments to a parent Python process. If the parent process terminates unexpectedly, we should now make the manager process notice this termination it using the recent multiprocessing.parent_process object (that comes with a sentinel), and shut it down.
