Have you looked at the code? 'mod_slotmem_shm.c' is less than 650 lines
of code, 'mod_slotmem_plain.c' less than 300. Sorry, but you have to do
_some_ reading yourself.

No, it doesn't. It holds two _pointers_ to node structures (learn some C
as well ..). You can't share such a structure since the address in *left or
*right
will only be valid in one process.
You could store an offset to the node's base address in left/right and
write some support code to do all the pointer magic to get/set these
values but you still would need to write your own memory allocator and
tree balancing code and somehow I get the feeling that's to demanding a
task ...
We've had similr questions in the ML just recently - consult the
archive.
