Hi Bruce, If you want to check if the window object is the same, you can compare the window handle value. Just note that if you do win_create-win_free-win_create, the second window may be assigned with the same handle as the first one.

It doesn’t need to be portable, I’m just interested in using it to fix some bugs (that are probably not associated with MPI).
