1. Shared Memory in Linux anyone?
I think topica wont let me post, so im with bernie and will still use the old
listserv until it shuts down.
Hello all,
How do people on this list feel about a wrapper for shared memory
functionality in linux? I have not looked yet at the archives and
contributions to see if there is one already but if there is not
would there be any demand for such a wrapper?
Shared memory allows two or more processes to share the same memory locations
to exchange data between them. (fast!)

cense:
I can't think of any application that would need to use shared memory.
What type of application did you have in mind.

No applications NEED shared memory as far as i know but i thought it might
be a cool little thingy to replace the use of sockets or the such across
two processes on the same machine because its faster (or so i have been told)
I was just going to experiment with shared memory in C a bit, find out if
it really is useful and then possibly wrap some routines up. nothing major i
guess.
