Hello,
I want my python application to communicate with an legacy C program which
read/write data in a shared memory (Unix Sys V IPC).
It seems that there are no official shm nor sysV ipc module, and that
non-official ones are dead. I can't modify the C code to change its
communication method.
How would you solve this problem using python ?
Is there any reason there is no official shm for python ?
I could write a C code which communicates with my python application
using mmap or something else and with the old C code using shmat(), but
this is a rather ugly solution.
Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the dl module? Types and portability aside, it
might provide you with what you need.

Thank you very much for your advice. I didn't use the dl module, but
searching information on dl, led me to the 'new' ctype one which
is perfect for my use.

I get this when I try to start up a freshly compiled beta4 on OS X
10.2.6:
FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid argument
I saw a previous thread on this for beta2. It sounded like this was a
bug that was to be fixed in beta3, but I'm still having this problem
with beta4.
Thanks,

Hey,
I need to make two programs I wrote to communicate with each other,
but what's the best way to implement it? Both programs will be running
on the same machine.
I don't want to open sockets and transfer the data 'network style'
because of security issues.
The data transfer is only one way, program A will be sending streams
of data to program B, and program B will output the data.

I want multiple instances of the same .exe to run and share the same
data. I know they all can access the same file at the same time, no
problem, but I'd like to have this data in RAM, which they can all
access. It seems like a needless waste of memory to make them all
maintain their own copy of the same data in RAM at the same time.
What's the best way to achieve this?
I've heard of memory mapped files, so maybe that's the answer. ...

I was wondering if it was possible to utilize python to share a memory
resource between a linux and windows system?? It should be stated that
both the Linux (CENTOS 5) and windows are physically located on the same
computer. Is any of this possible?

I've just finished an program migration from linux system V IPC to Windows Interprocess communication(include other system calls,of course).
Now I have to take effort to re-develop it with JAVA,but it seems that java itself has little to do this,or it has but I don't know.The OS kernel mechanism I used include process,thread,semaphore,mutex,filelock,pipe(or message queue),filemapping(or shared memory),etc.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
