ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool Class Reference

Make a memory pool that is based on System V shared memory (shmget(2) etc.). This implementation allows memory to be shared between processes. If your platform doesn't support System V shared memory (e.g., Win32 and many RTOS platforms do not) then you should use <ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool> instead of this class. In fact, you should probably use <ACE_MMAP_Memory_Pool> on platforms that *do* support System V shared memory since it provides more powerful features, such as persistent backing store and greatly scalability.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool const ACE_TCHAR   backing_store_name = 0,

Initialize the pool.

Member Function Documentation

void * ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::acquire size_t    nbytes,
size_t &    rounded_bytes
[virtual]
 

Acquire at least NBYTES from the memory pool. ROUNDED_BYTES is the actual number of bytes allocated. Also acquires an internal semaphore that ensures proper serialization of Memory_Pool initialization across processes.

ACE_INLINE void * ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::base_addr void    const [virtual]
 

Return the base address of this memory pool, 0 if base_addr never changes.

int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::commit_backing_store_name size_t    rounded_bytes,
off_t &    offset
[protected, virtual]
 

Commits a new shared memory segment if necessary after an <acquire> or a signal. <offset> is set to the new offset into the backing store.

void ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::dump void    const [virtual]
 

Dump the state of an object.

int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::find_seg const void *const    searchPtr,
off_t &    offset,
size_t &    counter
[protected, virtual]
 

Find the segment that contains the searchPtr.

int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::handle_signal int    signum,
siginfo_t  ,
ucontext_t  
[protected, virtual]
 

Handle SIGSEGV and SIGBUS signals to remap shared memory properly.

Reimplemented from ACE_Event_Handler.

int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::in_use off_t &    offset,
size_t &    counter
[protected, virtual]
 

Determine how much memory is currently in use.

void * ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::init_acquire size_t    nbytes,
size_t &    rounded_bytes,
int &    first_time
[virtual]
 

Ask system for initial chunk of local memory.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::protect void *    addr,
size_t    len,
int    prot = PROT_RDWR
[virtual]
 

Change the protection of the pages of the mapped region to <prot> starting at <addr> up to <len> bytes.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::protect ssize_t    len = -1,
int    prot = PROT_RDWR
[virtual]
 

Change the protection of the pages of the mapped region to <prot> starting at <this->base_addr_> up to <len> bytes. If <len> == -1 then change protection of all pages in the mapped region.

int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::release int    destroy = 1 [virtual]
 

Instruct the memory pool to release all of its resources.

ACE_INLINE size_t ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::round_up size_t    nbytes [protected, virtual]
 

Implement the algorithm for rounding up the request to an appropriate chunksize.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::sync void *    addr,
size_t    len,
int    flags = MS_SYNC
[virtual]
 

Sync the memory region to the backing store starting at <addr_>.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::sync ssize_t    len = -1,
int    flags = MS_SYNC
[virtual]
 

Sync the memory region to the backing store starting at <this->base_addr_>.


Member Data Documentation

ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE
 

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.

void* ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::base_addr_ [protected]
 

Base address of the shared memory segment. If this has the value of 0 then the OS is free to select any address, otherwise this value is what the OS must try to use to map the shared memory segment.

key_t ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::base_shm_key_ [protected]
 

Base shared memory key for the segment.

size_t ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::file_perms_ [protected]
 

File permissions to use when creating/opening a segment.

Number of shared memory segments in the <SHM_TABLE> table.

off_t ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::minimum_bytes_ [protected]
 

What the minimim bytes of the initial segment should be.

size_t ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::segment_size_ [protected]
 

Shared memory segment size.

ACE_Sig_Handler ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool::signal_handler_ [protected]
 

Handles SIGSEGV.
