How to create shared memory ?

[Sandeep Chikkerur]

HI,

I am writing a an ATL COM component (a "dll" file).
This file calls an executable. That executable is created from the "C" language.
(Compiled on Windows platform. Using Microsoft Visual Studio to write the "C" code)

This executable has to share some data with the dll. So, the shared memory
is the best solution. But I don't know how to create a shared memory in "C".

Any inputs on this would be of great help

Thanks
Sandeep

Sorry, neither do we. Try a Windows-specific newsgroup.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

And when you get there, check into memory mapped files. They might do the
job for you.

Please point out where memory mapped files, or dlls, are mentioned
in the C standard. I.e. kindly don't post off-topic answers to
off-topic queries in c.l.c.

To be fair to Neil, he wasn't, any more than many other people, including
you and I from time to time, who might say "hop over to wherever and be
sure to mention blabla"
