Clearing Shared Memory
Hi, I have various applications on my unix server and one of them relies on a process that needs to start in order to print however the process is not starting at all. I think the problem lies in the shared memory. Does anyone have the commands to flush the shared memory and can anyone tell me if this will also flush any process that have been given a specific memory address or will it just flush dynamic shared memory.
The unix is on AIX and version is 4.3.3

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.

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)

apache2::porting
install::TempContent::Objects::mod_perl-2.0.9::docs::apiUseraContribuinstall::TempContent::Objects::mod_perl-2.0.9::docs::api::Apache2::porting(3)
NAME
Apache2::porting -- a helper module for mod_perl 1.0 to mod_perl 2.0 porting
Synopsis
# either add at the very beginning of startup.pl
use Apache2::porting;
# or httpd.conf
PerlModule Apache2::porting
# now issue requests and look at the error_log file for hints
Description
"Apache2::porting" helps to port mod_perl 1.0 code to run under mod_perl 2.0. It doesn't provide any back-compatibility functionality,
however it knows to trap methods calls that are no longer in the mod_perl 2.0 API and tell what should be used instead if at all. If you
attempts to use mod_perl 2.0 methods without first loading the modules that contain them, it will tell you which modules you need to load.
Finally if your code tries to load modules that no longer exist in mod_perl 2.0 it'll also tell you what are the modules that should be
used instead.
"Apache2::porting" communicates with users via the error_log file. Everytime it traps a problem, it logs the solution (if it finds one) to
the error log file. If you use this module coupled with "Apache2::Reload" you will be able to port your applications quickly without
needing to restart the server on every modification.
It starts to work only when child process start and doesn't work for the code that gets loaded at the server startup. This limitation is
explained in the Culprits section.
It relies heavily on "ModPerl::MethodLookup". which can also be used manually to lookup things.
Culprits
"Apache2::porting" uses the "UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD" function to provide its functionality. However it seems to be impossible to create
"UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD" at the server startup, Apache segfaults on restart. Therefore it performs the setting of "UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD" only
during the child_init phase, when child processes start. As a result it can't help you with things that get preloaded at the server
startup.
If you know how to resolve this problem, please let us know. To reproduce the problem try to use an earlier phase, e.g.
"PerlPostConfigHandler":
Apache2::ServerUtil->server->push_handlers(PerlPostConfigHandler => &porting_autoload);
META: Though there is a better solution at work, which assigns AUTOLOAD for each class separately, instead of using UNIVERSAL. See the
discussion on the dev list (hint: search the archive for EazyLife)
