Delete open file in Windows (creating an anonymous file)?

Under Linux, my program would do something like this:

• Process 1 opens a file (e.g. by mapping it into memory). Let's call this file#1


• Process 2 unlinks the file, and creates a new file with the same name. Let's call this file#2.


• Process 1 continues to work with file#1. When it is closed, it is deleted (since it has no links).


• When both processes have exited, file#2 remains on disk.

I want to achieve the same semantics in Windows. After reading this question, I think FILE_SHARE_DELETE does basically this. Is opening the file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE enough, or do I need to consider something more?

The above execution flow is just an example, I know there are other ways of solving that exact problem in Windows, but I want to understand how to make such code portable between Windows and Linux.
