memory-mapped files

当你使用内存映射文件与其他进程共享数据时，你可以使用M a p Vi e w O f F i l e E x函数。例如，当两个或多个应用程序需要共享包含指向其他数据结构的一组数据结构时，可能需要在某个特定地址上的内存映射文件。链接表是个极好的例子。在链接表中，每个节点或元素均包含列表中的另一个元素的内存地址。若要遍历该列表，必须知道第一个元素的地址，然后参考包含下一个元素地址的元素成员。当使用内存映射文件时，这可能成为一个问题。

MapViewOfFileEx is useful when you're using memory-mapped files to share data with other processes. As an example, you might need a memory-mapped file at a particular address when two or more applications are sharing a group of data structures containing pointers to other data structures. A linked list is a perfect example. In a linked list, each node, or element, of the list contains the memory address of another element in the list. To walk the list, you must know the address of the first element and then reference the member of the element that contains the address of the next element. This can be a problem when you're using memory-mapped files.

You can use function MapViewOfFileEx when you share data between processes by memory-mapping file. For example, when two or more applications need to share a group of data structures which point to other data structures, you might need a memory-mapping file locates at a specific address. Linked list in which each node contains the address of another node of the list is a perfect example. If you want to travel the list, you need to know the address of the first element, and then refer to the element member which contains the address of the next element. When using memory-mapping file, this might be a broblem.
