Ok, but there are bugs in the code which result in GCC warnings.  I
don't know which of them are part of your original code, but they are
really a problem.

  if ((int) -1 =3D=3D p)

Don't check a pointer against an int value.  It won't work on a 64 bit
platform.  Make that

  if ((void *) -1 =3D=3D p)

For the same reason, don't use %x to printf a pointer.  Use %tx.

The problem is the call to shmget:

  #undef  PAGESIZE
  #define PAGESIZE 512
  shmid =3D shmget(key, PAGESIZE, IPC_ALLOC);

Since you're requesting only 512 bytes, the shared memory segment the
following shmat call returns is only 4K.  The shmget call should request
as much memory as it needs so that the OS call is called with the right
view size.

I re-read the POSIX man page for shmget, and it doesn't mention anything
which would point out that Cygwin's behaviour here is wrong.  If anybody
has more information on this, please share them.


HTH,
Corinna
