From: cgf AT bbc DOT com (Christopher Faylor) Subject: "SHARED" attribute on section in .DLL? 22 Feb 1998 19:53:52 -0800 Message-ID: Reply-To: cgf AT bbc DOT com To: cygwin32-developers AT cygnus DOT com I got a book to read on advanced windows programming today: "Advanced Windows" by Jeffrey Richter. This book was recommended by a number of people in the win32 programming book. It mentions that data can be shared between dlls if a dll puts data that is intended to be shared in a section which has a "shared" attribute. The book claims that sections can have the following attributes: READ, WRITE, EXECUTE, SHARED. Does anyone know if that is possible to do with ld? If it is, we could probably get rid of some of the shared memory initialization and store the process table here. I looked through the sources but didn't see anything that was immediately obvious. -- http://www.bbc.com/ cgf AT bbc DOT com "Strange how unreal VMS=>UNIX Solutions Boston Business Computing the real can be."
