Primitive shared memory allocator that allows several independent processes to share same shared memory segments. It provides shared memory analogs to regular memry library calls like malloc(), free(), etc. Currently may work with mmap() or shmget().

Features

  • independent processes share same memory segment
  • shared memory analogs to libc malloc(), free() etc.
  • shared memory locking provided
  • works with mmap() or shmat/shmget()
  • very small, easy API, documentation
