Hi, there
On HP-UX, there is a problem about shared memory. The code open the data file and use the "mmap" system call to map into the shared memory, when the contents are make changes, there is no effective on shared memory. The codes look like the following:
on the above codes, when the data changes in the file specified by 'path',
the value pointed by 'sysdb_addr' is still original.
Anyone can give some suggestion? thanks.

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.
There is one special... (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 want to use shared memory for communication between multiple processes, each one can write and read. I am unable to build the logic, should I go for each process has shared memory with other or should I create one block of memory and shared between all of them.
Second is better but I... (0 Replies)
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,
this is the problem: i want to swap a linked list between 4 processes (unrelated), is there any way i can do that just by sending a pointer to a structure?
//example
typedef struct node
{
int x;
char c;
struct node *next;
} node;
or i should send the items ( x,c ) by... (9 Replies)

Hi All,
I'm facing the following issue with my shared libraries in AIX.
memory related calls such as memset, memcpy, malloc etc are failing miserably.
there is something wrong with stack/memory which i can't guess.
i've used the following flags to build my libraray:

I am running HP-UX B.11.11.
I'm increasing a parameter for a database engine so that it uses more memory to buffer the disk drive (to speed up performance). I have over 5GB of memory not being used.
But when I try to start the DB with the increased buffer parameter I get told.
