Yes,
threads which work out on the same address space do share the memory.
In addition to that they share,
File/Socket descriptors
Signal handling
Current working directory
UID/GID

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)

Hi,
I have a program that has two types of threads:
1) Reader threads
2) Worker Threads
Readers: Their only job is to read files. They just read data from the files and put them into a buffer. They are obviously I/O intensive.
Workers: These are CPU intensive. They do some computation... (5 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 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.

There is one special... (5 Replies)

libcurl-share
libcurl-share(3) libcurl share interface libcurl-share(3)
NAME
libcurl-share - how to use the share interface
DESCRIPTION
This is an overview on how to use the libcurl share interface in your C programs. There are specific man pages for each function mentioned
in here.
All functions in the share interface are prefixed with curl_share.
OBJECTIVES
The share interface was added to enable sharing of data between curl "handles".
ONE SET OF DATA - MANY TRANSFERS
You can have multiple easy handles share data between them. Have them update and use the same cookie database or DNS cache! This way, each
single transfer will take advantage from data updates made by the other transfer(s).
SHARE OBJECT
You create a shared object with curl_share_init(3). It returns a handle for a newly created one.
You tell the shared object what data you want it to share by using curl_share_setopt(3). Currently you can only share DNS and/or COOKIE
data.
Since you can use this share from multiple threads, and libcurl has no internal thread synchronization, you must provide mutex callbacks if
you're using this multi-threaded. You set lock and unlock functions with curl_share_setopt(3) too.
Then, you make an easy handle to use this share, you set the CURLOPT_SHARE option with curl_easy_setopt(3), and pass in share handle. You
can make any number of easy handles share the same share handle.
To make an easy handle stop using that particular share, you set CURLOPT_SHARE to NULL for that easy handle. To make a handle stop sharing
a particular data, you can CURLSHOPT_UNSHARE it.
When you're done using the share, make sure that no easy handle is still using it, and call curl_share_cleanup(3) on the handle.
