New submission from LihuaZhao <lihua.z...@windriver.com>:
anonymous mappings is not part of the POSIX standard, python user just need to specified -1 as fd value when do anonymous map, for example: m = mmap.mmap(-1, 100) then python adapter module(mmapmodule.c) try to specify MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE based on operate system requirement, Linux require MAP_SHARED, VxWorks require MAP_PRIVATE, this different should be hidden by this module, and python user won't be affected. Currently, mmap is only adapted for the system which use MAP_SHARED when do anonymous map, VxWorks need be supported. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mmap ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 340411 nosy: lzhao priority: normal pull_requests: 12787 severity: normal status: open title: MAP_SHARED isn't proper for anonymous mappings for VxWorks versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36648> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
