HI,
I am dynamically loading shared libraries using shl_load(). There are multiple processes (50 or more) which loads the same shared library. Will Unix internally load only one copy of the shared library or it will load multiple copies.
Can I have memory issues if this is done.
Thanks,... (1 Reply)

I am debugging in gdb a program that dynamically loads libodbcinst.so. I want to debug the code from libodbcinst - I can break in it, see the source and step through it, but whenever I try printing a variable, I get (e.g. for the variable ret):
No symbol "ret" in current context.

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? (1 Reply)

shmdt
SHMAT(2) BSD System Calls Manual SHMAT(2)
NAME
shmat, shmdt -- map/unmap shared memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
void *
shmat(int shmid, void *shmaddr, int shmflg);
int
shmdt(void *shmaddr);
DESCRIPTION
shmat() maps the shared memory segment associated with the shared memory identifier shmid into the address space of the calling process. The
address at which the segment is mapped is determined by the shmaddr parameter. If it is equal to 0, the system will pick an address itself.
Otherwise, an attempt is made to map the shared memory segment at the address shmaddr specifies. If SHM_RND is set in shmflg, the system will
round the address down to a multiple of SHMLBA bytes (SHMLBA is defined in <sys/shm.h> ). A shared memory segment can be mapped read-only by
specifying the SHM_RDONLY flag in shmflg. shmdt() unmaps the shared memory segment that is currently mapped at shmaddr from the calling
process' address space. shmaddr must be a value returned by a prior shmat() call. A shared memory segment will remain existant until it is
removed by a call to shmctl(2) with the IPC_RMID command.
RETURN VALUES
shmat() returns the address at which the shared memory segment has been mapped into the calling process' address space when successful,
shmdt() returns 0 on successful completion. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned, and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
shmat() will fail if:
[EACCES] The calling process has no permission to access this shared memory segment.
[ENOMEM] There is not enough available data space for the calling process to map the shared memory segment.
[EINVAL] shmid is not a valid shared memory identifier. shmaddr specifies an illegal address.
[EMFILE] The number of shared memory segments has reached the system-wide limit.
shmdt() will fail if:
[EINVAL] shmaddr is not the start address of a mapped shared memory segment.
