But when I try to start the DB with the increased buffer parameter I get told.

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)

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.

NAME
prof - profile within a function
SYNOPSIS
#define MARK
#include <prof.h>
void MARK(name);
DESCRIPTION
MARK introduces a mark called name that is treated the same as a function entry point. Execution of the mark adds to a counter for that
mark, and program-counter time spent is accounted to the immediately preceding mark or to the function if there are no preceding marks
within the active function.
name may be any combination of letters, numbers, or underscores. Each name in a single compilation must be unique, but may be the same as
any ordinary program symbol.
For marks to be effective, the symbol MARK must be defined before the header prof.h is included, either by a preprocessor directive as in
the synopsis, or by a command line argument:
cc -p -DMARK work.c
If MARK is not defined, the MARK(name) statements may be left in the source files containing them and are ignored. prof -g must be used
to get information on all labels.
EXAMPLES
In this example, marks can be used to determine how much time is spent in each loop. Unless this example is compiled with MARK defined on
the command line, the marks are ignored.
#include <prof.h>
work( )
{
int i, j;
. . .
MARK(loop1);
for (i = 0; i < 2000; i++) {
. . .
}
MARK(loop2);
for (j = 0; j < 2000; j++) {
. . .
}
}
