I have one requirement to store an array of structure at shared memory. Also the shared memory should have one counter to store number of elements in the array.
I tried to look at some placed but didn't find anything relevant.
So my first question, is it possible that we can store two things on same shared memory. And second if not then how to achieve the same?
I am trying to initialize a 2D char array of strings into POSIX shared memory to be shared between 3 other processes. There are plenty of tutorials on how to use a pointer to share a single string or an integer between processes, but I could find no examples on how to initialize 1D or 2D arrays using mmap(). I have posted what I have so far below. It is the first program, which creates the shared memory object and initialize the array char files[20][2][100] with the value files[0][0][0] = ' '. What is the proper method to initialize and share an array in C?
(program initializes shared memory object and array)
Code:
#include<fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[]){
[Code] ......
I have this data store into a data structure.
i j x y w h w*h
0 0 0 0 9 11 99
1 0 0 11 9 10 90
2 0 0 21 9 11 99
0 1 9 0 8 12 96
1 1 9 12 8 7 56
2 1 9 19 8 6 48
[Code]...
Code:
struct data {
//Here
/*! horizontal position */
int x;
/*! vertical position */
int y;
/*! width */
int w;
/
[Code]...
data and then i have an array /*! it contain group_id of each data line*/ int group_id[16]={0,0,0,0,3,3,1,1,1,3,3,2,2,2,2,1}; I never worked with 2D array before. My problem is that i want to create a 2D array of that data for example if i write data[j][i].. It will give me the reference/value of all data lines that belongs to j column, and same with group_id[j][i]. I don't know how i can store these structure vaules in this like 2D array.
Say now I have a dll, loaded and run by a 32bit program. One of the things that I access from the program in the dll are several 1024x1024 int buffers. However I would like to put some data into those buffers from a external process. And I would like a separate thread in that external process for each buffer. Is there any way I can make that memory space accessible to the external process so I can use my own multi threaded memory transfers to pass that data over provided I ensure that the original process doesn't try to do anything with that data? And I would like to do this without resorting to the Read/WriteProcessMemory functions which are not threadsafe. In short, I want to set up direct memory access between the 2 programs without creating any intermediate shared memory buffers ie I want to set permissions for an existing memory space. Is this possible?

I am working with a system for automation purposes that is running on a realtime OS in parallel to windows. Windows and the RTOS exchange data via shared memory. The application in the RTOS is compiled in C++. Now I would like to be able to influence the some data manipulation tasks in the RTOS application without changing the code of the RTOS application. So a concept like calling a dll.
My idea was to create a class with virtual methods in the RTOS application. The objects that are used should then be created on the Windows side with the same class prototype, but specific implementation of the virtual methods. The objects should then be moved to the shared memory, where they are used by the RTOS application.
Is something like this possible or am I completly on the wrong path?
In interprocess communication(IPC) when processe have to share data among each other,why cant they all connect to one single file and share data with basic file handling functions such as read and write?
Why do we need
shared memory(shmget shmat(),shmdt()..etc)
and
mapped memory(mmap(),munmap()..etc)
concepts?
I have trouble reading the last element in a struct.I do get the correct value for the first two elements. In my example that is:
a = 11 and c = H
however I get:
b = 0
but I am expecting b=2
I got two files to handle this.The first one is writing data to memory -
Code:
#include <sys/shm.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
}
[code]....
why I cannot get correct value for the third element in my struct?In the second file where I'm reading from memory I allocate some space. Is this incorrect in some way? I'm running this on a Linux machine.
I was trying to put mutex lock on shared memory but my code is not working. What I want is that if some process is putting something on shared memory segment, other process should not be able to access that segment. For testing , I create a server program which put data in shared memory and client program which access the data.
To test it, I put break point after:
pthread_mutex_lock(&(init_lock));
But I see that client program was able to access shared memory.
Below is code:
Server: Code: pthread_mutex_t init_lock = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
main()
{
char c;

I'm working on a project that is supposed to create 3 processes. Process 1 should count from 1 to 100,000. Process 2 from 1 to 200,000. Process 3 from 1 to 300,000. I've written the basic code of it but my processes aren't printing out very accurate numbers.
Here's my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>

I have a question concerning shared memory (in linux-environment). In our company we currently have an application that is restarted once in a while. There are multiple instances running of this application (on different physical machines), and all access the same centralized database. Because of IO and Network bottleneck the start gets very slow, and takes about 10 Minutes. Besides some new data, most of the data stays the same, so reading from the database again is quite redundant. An idea is to write all relevant object to a shared memory segment, when the application is shut down. A second dummy process attaches to the same shared memory (just so that some process is still attached). If the application is restarted, it is attached again to its shared memory, and reads it to its own adress range again. There might occur a difference regarding the data so it might me necessary to load some new data afterwards, but that is different problem.
The current idea is to serialize all Objects (could be about 1-2 Gigabyte) with Apache Thrift, and write them into shared memory. With Thrift the data is more or less ordered, so creating the objects anew is possibly easier (not sure here).
My Question is:
- Does it even make sense to consider shared memory in this scenario. I've read a lot stuff about in the last few days, and for now I don't see big disadvantages (except if the application crashes, in this case I've to read from database again). On the other hand I don't know how to really implement this functionality (as I'm no experienced Developer)
- Should I aim for Boost::Interproces, considering even memory mappable files, or stay with the traditional shmat (and stuff..)?
- I guess 1-2 Gigabyte shared memory will be necessary. This amount is only needed in the gap between application shutdown and restart. Will the sheer amount of needed shared memory be a problem (all examples I found just used a few Bytes or Kilobytes)
I am trying to write a client/server application that takes input to an array of structures from the user,stores the data in a shared memory segment and then writes the same to a file when I close the application. How do I get started? And how do I ensure that the server stores the data correctly? Also, the server needs to be a concurrent server that accepts connections from multiple clients.

Directions: Write a program that uses the structure named MovieData to store the following information about a movie:
Title
Director
Year Released
Running Time
Include a constructor that allows all four of these member data values to be specified at the time MovieData variable is created. The program should create. The MovieData variable and pass each one in turn to a function that displays the information about the movie in a clearly formatted manner. Pass the MovieData Variables to the display by value.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
struct MovieData {

I sort of hit a wall did it do something wrong because the whole create two MovieData variables is confusing me.
I am using Dev C++ compiler on Windows 7 and was programming a piece of code that is supposed to do the following -
Create a structure to store information about products for sale in a store. It should store information about the product name, the price, and the product number and then create an array of products called Inventory. Add five products to your inventory.
But for some reason, which is unknown to me, I always seem to get a compiler error. And this is what i have so far -
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
struct product{
char name[30];
int product_number;
double price;

My program is designed to read input from the user and then store that input in a structure variable. Whenever i use the cin.getline() function, it comes up with a semantic issue. Here is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
const int DESCRIPTION_SIZE = 100, DATE_SIZE = 20;
struct inventory {
string description[DESCRIPTION_SIZE];
[Code] .....
I left out the other functions. The error reads "no matching member function for call to 'getline'.
What I'm trying to do is:
int *p;
someType memoryLocation;
cout<<"Enter your memory location: ";
cin >> memoryLocation;
p = memoryLocation;
cout << *p;
I was just messing around with some code, and was curious to if this was possible.
I'm trying to free allocated memory for structure. It seems like free() gets only pointer and not regular types . my question is basic and simple – is passing pointer to free() frees the pointer or the variable it points at? or both?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to simulate memory in C. I want to create a structure in C that will hold a 8bit opcode and a 32bit memory address. This would simulate a 40 bit instruction for my simulator.
I read in an old book that packed structs could be used for this to not waste space. What are the draw backs for using this? I am not worried about wasting space, but just looking for a simple way to access the memory instructions. Below is a sample of the structure that I want to use.
struct memory_area {
unsigned int opcode:8;
unsigned int address:32;
};
I created a class (let call it X) which contains the structure to store the data from my data base. Them I have a class (call Y) which will contain a list for each row in my data base. Third, I have a class with thousands variables (Z). What I am trying to do is to take the list of objects (Y) that contains the data to initialize Z. What I want to now if I can do something like that.
Imaging that one of my rows contain the following data:
Type Nameofvariable etc...
"static const double; MNFAIL ; 0; 0; 0,25"
In my list I have a node with contain this data
I want to use the field Nameofvariable to initialize the variable called MNFAIL contained in my class Z.
Is it possible in C++
How do you store a variable in memory so that it isn't changed when the program closes? I don't have any experience with this and am just wondering how it is possible. I am creating a program and want it to store your preferences and scores. In a simple program, everything is just reset and I don't want this for my program. How do I store a variable so that it stays the same, but can be changed even when the program is turned off?

I have a form1 which is a datagrid view and get's updated like this:
dataGridView1.DataSource = xmlData.Databases;
Now i have a button: get tables, and it opens up form 2, there it's supposed to appear all the tables of the selected Database, when i click on the row i get the database name so i get all the list of Tables from
DatabaseDescriptor
where
DatabaseDescriptor.Name == name
(I get this when i select the row)
But then on the 2nd form, i also have 2 textbox so i add a new table, i add the tablename and id. the new value should appear in the datagridview of the tables, and when i close it and reopen it, it should be there. Maybe i should concatenate first the values or something, how do i do?

I have an assignment that wants me to better understand how certain calls like malloc() and free() work. I'm supposed to have one function that allocates a pool of memory for the program to use (this is the only place where I'm allowed to use the malloc function. Anyplace else is off limits, except when allocating space for data structures.) Another function needs to be defined that allocates memory from this large pool of memory that we have already allocated. A third function needs to free a block of memory when a call from function main is made and a fourth does something else (haven't gotten that far yet.) I'm not sure if it's ok or not, but I'll attach the pdf form that describes all the requirements. If that's not ok, I'll delete it.)
Anyways, when thinking of data structures to use for this particular problem, one doesn't jump out at me as being THE data structure that would be most useful. How I would imagine using it is to store the addresses currently being used as well as the block length of those addresses (so basically, each node of the linkedlist would have a pointer that points to an allocated address and another field that told the size of the allocated block of memory.) How to communicate to the large pool of memory that a certain block of memory has been allocated and shouldn't be used until a free is made on that specific block of memory.

Say I have a class with a few member functions, and only two data members: an int* Table; and an int Size;, to store the number of elements in Table.
I'm using a copy constructor that takes in two parameters: int* table, int size. In this case, is the address that table points to the same address as the object that table is part of? And furthermore, is it possible to say table.Size? I want to compare the passed array's size to the passed size.
