sharedmem - Cross-platform shared memory single-header-library for ANSI C Pretty barebones at the moment, bugs (ESPECIALLY WITH PERMISSIONS) are expected. Works for Windows and Linux. Requires a C compiler with support of at the very least C89. To see a complete example of two different processes (programs) communicating, refer to `test` folder. There, you will see three additional folders, "crossplatform", "linux" and "win". "linux" & "win" are for platform-specific code, so "linux" code MAY only run on linux, and "win" code MAY only run on windows. "crossplatform", though, provides code that behaves identical, no matter the platform (except for a few nuances). Inconsistencies between platforms at the moment: - if you restart the sender on linux, the reader doesn't notice and still prints the last value from counter that was there on exit, however, on windows, the reader immediately picks up on that sender has started counting from scratch. example: ON LINUX: sender: counter=4 reader: counter=4 (sender gets killed) sender: dead reader: counter=4 (sender gets started again) sender: counter=1 reader: counter=4 (next second) sender: counter=2 reader: counter=4 (...) ON WINDOWS: sender: counter=4 reader: counter=4 (sender gets killed) sender: dead reader: counter=4 (sender gets started again) sender: counter=1 reader: counter=1 (next second) sender: counter=2 reader: counter=2 (...)
