Exception thrown at 0x00007FFF168E1657 (vcruntime140d.dll) in "<name>.exe": 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x0000000000000000

I tried creating two different visual c++ console applications for Inter Process Communication(IPC). The Build for both codes is successful.But,when I try to debug it, I get exception like this "Exception thrown at 0x00007FFF168E1657 (vcruntime140d.dll) in FileMapServer_Parent.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x0000000000000000"

The problem is here:

hFileMap = CreateFileMapping(
    INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE,
    NULL,
    PAGE_READWRITE,
    0,
    256,
    L"LOCAL\\MyFileMap");

From the documentation of Kernel object namespaces they are case sensitive so you must change LOCAL to Local for this to work.

In addition to the "Global\" prefix, client processes can use the "Local\" prefix to explicitly create an object in their session namespace. These keywords are case sensitive.

While debugging this issue I also changed the code to exit if the mapping fails:

if (hFileMap == NULL)
{
    cout << "CreateFileMapping Failed & Error Number - " << GetLastError() << endl;
    return -1;
}
else
    cout << "CreateFileMapping Success - " << endl;

This avoided the crash with the original "LOCAL" (mapping failed).
