Hmm.  I am not sure about the addition of huge_pages_required, knowing
that we would have shared_memory_size.  I'd rather let the calculation
part to the user with a scan of /proc/meminfo.

+#elif defined(WIN32)
+   hp_size = GetLargePageMinimum();
+#endif
+
+#if defined(MAP_HUGETLB) || defined(WIN32)
+   hp_required = (size_b / hp_size) + 1;
As of [1], there is the following description:
"If the processor does not support large pages, the return value is
zero."
So there is a problem here.
