Not sure what you mean here. common/sm may create new shmem

Absolutely not! The RML messaging is not about initializing the
shared memory segment. As stated on my original text it has only
one purpose: to ensure the file used by mmap is created atomically.
The code for Windows do not exchange any RML messages as the
function to allocate the shared memory region provided by the OS is
atomic (exactly as the sysv one).
I thought that Sam said that it was important that only 1 process
shmctl/IPC_RMID...?
Hi George,
We are using RML messaging in the sysv code to exchange the shared
memory ID (generated by exactly one process). I'm not sure how we
would go about passing along the shared memory ID without RML, but any
ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
