memory sharing - not shared memory -

hi,

this is the problem: i want to swap a linked list between 4 processes (unrelated), is there any way i can do that just by sending a pointer to a structure?

Code:

//example
typedef struct node
{
   int x;
   char c;
   struct node *next;
} node;

or i should send the items ( x,c ) by value and reconstruct the list ?
my solution: create the list in a shared location in memory, where all the processes can use the same reference to manipulate or read the list, but if i use malloc(); i can't control the physical place where the memory is allocated (that's what i know)

any help guys is appreciated, thanks
