Why does APR use file-backed shared memory for unix and win32?Isn't it preferable to have key-based shared memory? Windows supports it (both desktop and CE, I checked). I believe Unix supports it (I checked, but I'm not sure) through System V IPC. Shouldn't the implementation default to key-based unless the platform doesn't support it?
Why? Win32 anonymous shared memory is actually file backed (backed, of course by the swap file). Bill
