We would like to use an APR table to share data between processes or threads where the data is a buit more than one would want to manage in a raw block of shared memory. Searching this list, on Google, and looking through the source I've found several people wanting to do soemthing similar, and some answers on how to get a block of raw shared memory that could be used to share something simple like a single integer.
More complex data needs to be held in a structure like a table, though. I see no function to create a table from raw memory, only from a pool. Perhaps there is some function that create a pool from a chunk of memory that I'm not finding? That is to say, something that could be used like this: void *memory; apr_pool_t * newpool; memory = malloc(BIG_CHUNK); apr_pool_create_from_memory(&newpool, memory); It seems to me that if there is some function to create a pool from memory, that would mean that creating the pool from SHARED memory would result in a SHARED pool, from which we could create all kinds of shared structures - shared tables or anything else that needed to be shared. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Ray B. Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
