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 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?

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:

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.

pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared(3C) pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared(3C)
NAME
pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared, pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared - get or set process-shared attribute of read-write lock attributes object
SYNOPSIS
cc -mt [ flag... ] file... -lpthread [ library... ]
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared(const pthread_rwlockattr_t *restrict attr, int *restrict pshared);
int pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared(pthread_rwlockattr_t *attr, int pshared);
The process-shared attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to permit a read-write lock to be operated upon by any thread that has
access to the memory where the read-write lock is allocated, even if the read-write lock is allocated in memory that is shared by multiple
processes. If the process-shared attribute is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, the read-write lock will only be operated upon by threads created
within the same process as the thread that initialised the read-write lock; if threads of differing processes attempt to operate on such a
read-write lock, the behaviour is undefined. The default value of the process-shared attribute is PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.
The pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() function obtains the value of the process-shared attribute from the initialised attributes object ref-
erenced by attr. The pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function is used to set the process-shared attribute in an initialised attributes
object referenced by attr.
If successful, the pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() function returns 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
Upon successful completion, the pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() returns 0 and stores the value of the process-shared attribute of attr
into the object referenced by the pshared parameter. Otherwise an error number is returned to indicate the error.
The pthread_rwlockattr_getpshared() and pthread_rwlockattr_setpshared() functions will fail if:
EINVAL The value specified by attr or pshared is invalid.
