HELP!!! Shared Memory Error

44 New Member
Hey everyone! I´ve been tying to create a shared memory segment with the size of a structure, as follows:

typedef struct{
int id;
char message[1024];
}data;


In the line where i create the shared memory segment,

if((shmid = shmget(key, sizeof(data), 0766 | IPC_CREAT)) < 0){
perror("Error shmget!\n");
exit(1);
}


i get the error: 'shared memory: "Invalid Argument"'. I´m using Linux SUSE and i´ve also tried to put into the shared memory int arrays of ten elements or less, arrays of ten chars, for example, and no matter the small the array is, wether is of ints or chars, i get always that error. Does somebody could give me a hint?

Thanks for the attention, regards

I'm using PHP 4.2.2 on RH9 Linux (with Progeny.com updates, in case you're wondering). I was using shared memory (shm* API) a great deal in my web applications because I have 1GB of RAM on this system. By using shared memory, I can optimize web pages a little by not having to hit the database every time I want to regurgitate a somewhat-static reference table. You may be familiar with the API that looks like this: $key = 'My Key';

I would like to start a dialog on how to implement the equivalent functionality of UNIX shared memory in .NET. I work with a factory automation system. The bulk of the system is written in C/C++. It was ported from UNIX to run under Windows using .NET. If for no other reason than as an educational exercise, I have been wondering what it would take to rewrite the system under C#. The system currently has about a 100K “shared...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
