Hello Does anybody know if there is a open source library which provides dynmic memory in conjunction with shared memory allocated using shmget/shmat? I want to allocate some shared memory and then later dynamically create some buffers also in shared memory. It seems that I will have to have an ID and a shmget/shmat for each time I want to create a buffer. Is there some library which allocates a big shared memory buffer and then handles dynamic allocations from that buffer so these smaller buffers can also be shared between processes? One more thing, the processes are seperate processes and not forked child/parent processes.
Also, what is the deal with shm_open and mmap? I think these are the posix equivalent (Or, is that BSD?) to SVR4 shmget and shmat. On my box, I have a man page for mmap which refers to shm_open, but I don't have the man page for shm_open. I have the include files for shm_open and mmap.
