shared memory - userdefined data structures
Hello,
I wonder if I can write my userdefined data structures(ex: a list) to a shared memory segment?
I know, the shm functions get (void*) parameter so I should be able to read and write a list into the shared memory.
may someone inform and clarify me about that, please?

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)

I'll try to keep this short, but basically I need to figure out a way to load data in shared memory (this file will be called load.c) I will later access the data with a print.c program.

Hello,
I have a signal handler which manipulates a data structure. The data structure's operations aren't atomic. So if two threads/processes are in a critical section at the same time the data structure will be broken.
With threads you can avoid this stuff with semaphores etc.
However,... (10 Replies)
