How to create shared memory ?

HI,

I am writing a an ATL COM component (a "dll" file).
This file calls an executable. That executable is created from the "C" language.
(Compiled on Windows platform. Using Microsoft Visual Studio to write the "C" code)

This executable has to share some data with the dll. So, the shared memory
is the best solution. But I don't know how to create a shared memory in "C".

Any inputs on this would be of great help

Thanks

Sorry, neither do we. Try a Windows-specific newsgroup.

And when you get there, check into memory mapped files. They might do the
job for you.

Please point out where memory mapped files, or dlls, are mentioned
in the C standard. I.e. kindly don't post off-topic answers to
off-topic queries in c.l.c.

To be fair to Neil, he wasn't, any more than many other people, including
you and I from time to time, who might say "hop over to wherever and be

The system currently has about a 100K “shared...

When I first discovered shared memory (between multiple processes) I immediately started thinking of how to build my own VM subsystem + locking mechanisms for a large single block of memory. This seems like one option, the other appears to be just having each "object" you want to share be a shared mem space to itself: allocate objects into a defined shared mem space. But here you have many many objects being shared. Having a VM...

Dear C++ Experts, Over the last couple of months I have been writing my first program using shared memory. It has been something of an "in-at-the-deep-end" experience, to say the least. At present the shared memory contains a few fixed-size structs, but I really need to be able to store more complex variable-sized data in there. So the next task is to work out how to store C++ objects, and if possible STL containers, in this shared...
