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?
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)
Dear Reader,
Is is necessary to attach / dettach the shared memory segments for write operations , if more than one program is accessing same shared memory segments..
I have used semaphore mutex and still I'm getting segmentation fault when I write to the segment when other program is already... (1 Reply)
I am running HP-UX B.11.11.
I'm increasing a parameter for a database engine so that it uses more memory to buffer the disk drive (to speed up performance). I have over 5GB of memory not being used.
But when I try to start the DB with the increased buffer parameter I get told.

Hi all :confused: ,
I am new to unix.I have been asked to implement shared memory in user's mode.What does this mean?What is the difference it makes in kernel mode and in users mode?What are the advantages of this impemenation(user's mode)?
And also i would like to know why exactly shared... (0 Replies)
I need to create a shared library to access an in memory DB. The DB is not huge, but big enough to make it cumbersome to carry around in every single process using the shared library. Luckily, it is pretty static information, so I don't need to worry much about synchronizing the data between... (12 Replies)
I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability.
Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion. (0 Replies)
Hey, Im using a shared memory segment to share a WINDOW structure among 2 processes. Basically I'm building a multi-player snake game in which multiple prrocesses access the window.
The 'parent' process initializes the shared memory segment and puts the window in it. I can access and perform... (1 Reply)
Hello.
I am new to this forum and I would like to ask for advice about low level POSIX programming.
I have to implement a POSIX compliant C shared library.
A file will have some variables and the shared library will have some functions which need those variables.
There is one special... (5 Replies)

list - list routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <inn/list.h>
struct node {
struct node *succ;
struct node *pred; };
struct list {
struct node *head;
struct node *tail;
struct node *tailpred; };
void list_new(struct list *list);
struct node *list_addhead(struct list *list, struct node *node);
struct node *list_addtail(struct list *list, struct node *node);
struct node *list_head(struct list *list);
struct node *list_tail(struct list *list);
struct node *list_succ(struct node *node);
struct node *list_pred(struct node *node);
struct node *list_remhead(struct list *list);
struct node *list_remtail(struct list *list);
struct node *list_remove(struct node *node);
struct node *list_insert(struct list *list, struct node *node, struct node *pred);
bool list_isempty(struct list *list);
DESCRIPTION
list_new initialises the list header list so as to create an empty list.
list_addhead adds node to the head of list, returning the node just added.
list_addtail adds node to the tail of list, returning the node just added.
list_head returns a pointer to the the node at the head of list or NULL if the list is empty.
list_tail returns a pointer to the the node at the tail of list or NULL if the list is empty.
list_succ returns the next (successor) node on the list after node or NULL if node was the final node.
list_pred returns the previous (predecessor) node on the list before node or NULL if node was the first node.
list_remhead removes the first node from list and returns it to the caller. If the list is empty NULL is returned.
list_remtail removes the last node from list and returns it to the caller. If the list is empty NULL is returned.
list_remove removes node from the list it is on and returns it to the caller.
list_insert inserts node onto list after the node pred. If pred is NULL then node is added to the head of list.
