Could someone please explain what the difference is between PKG and SHM memory in terms of module development?
SHM cames from shared memory, while PKG from process private. When would I want to use SHM over
PKG memory or vice-versa?
When you need to keep some state over multiple requests, use SHM (because you don't know what process will serve subsequent requests). And why should we not just use standard C
malloc?
Due to speed impact. However, if you need some big chunks of mem that will remain 'static' from module init till shutdown, you can use libc's malloc. WL. Eliot Gable
