Usage simple of shared memory

 

-- create a shared memory

#: cat create.C

#include <iostream>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int shmid;
    key_t key=0x1234;

    //if((shmid=shmget(key,32,0666|IPC_CREAT|IPC_EXCL)) < 0)
    if((shmid=shmget(key,32,0666|IPC_CREAT)) < 0)
    {
        printf("shmid failed. Exit/n");
        exit(1);
    }
    else
        printf("shmid succes id=%d/n",shmid);

}

 

-- Write into shared memory --

#: cat write.C
#include <iostream>

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

#include "Amsg.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int shmid=SHMID;
    char *shmaddress;

    shmaddress=(char *)shmat(shmid,NULL,0);
    if((int)shmaddress == -1)
    {
            printf("shmat failed. Exit/n");
            exit(3);
    }
    else
    {
            printf("shmat success return 0x%x/n",shmaddress);
    }


    Amsg * msg = new (shmaddress) Amsg();
    if (msg != NULL)
    {
            printf("new Amsg object was created at 0x%x/n",msg);
            msg->setName(1,(char*)"I am boy!/n");
    }

    if((shmdt(shmaddress)) < 0)
          printf("shmdt failed. Exit/n");

}

 

-- Check shared memory --

#: cat info.C

#include <iostream>

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

int main()
{
    int shmid=SHMID;
    struct shmid_ds dsbuf;

    if((shmctl(shmid,IPC_STAT,&dsbuf))<0)
    {
             printf("shmctl failed. Exit/n");
             exit(4);
    }

    printf("shmctl, shared memory creater: %d/n",dsbuf.shm_cpid);
    printf("shmctl, shared memory size: %d/n",dsbuf.shm_segsz);
    printf("shmctl, shared memory last access: %d/n",dsbuf.shm_lpid);
}

 

#

# 'ipcs -am' can list out all shared memory

#

 

-- Read out from shared memory --

#: write.C

#include <iostream>

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

#include "Amsg.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int shmid=SHMID;
    char *shmaddress;
    struct shmid_ds dsbuf;
   
   
    if((shmaddress=(char *)shmat(shmid,0,0))<0)
    {
            printf("shmat faild. Exit/n");
            exit(5);
    }

    Amsg * msg = reinterpret_cast<Amsg *>(shmaddress);
    char * output = msg->getName(1);

    printf("Read out from shared memory: %s/n",output);
    if((shmdt(shmaddress)) < 0)
             printf("shmdt failed. Exit/n");
}

 

-- Delete shared memory --

#: cat delete.C

#include <iostream>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>

int main()
{
    int shmid=SHMID;

    if(shmctl(shmid,IPC_RMID,NULL) < 0)
    {
            printf("shmctl failed. Exit/n");
            exit(7);
    }
}

 

#

# 'ipcrm -m $id' can remove shared memory identified by $id.
