如何在C语言中的Linux中使用共享内存

我的一个项目有一个问题。

我一直在尝试找到一个有据可查的使用共享内存的例子，fork()但是没有成功。

基本上情况是，当用户启动程序时，我需要在共享内存中存储两个值：current_path（它是一个char *）和file_name（它也是char *）。

根据命令参数，将启动一个新进程fork()，该进程需要读取和修改共享内存中存储的current_path变量，而file_name变量为只读。

是否有关于共享内存的很好的教程，并带有示例代码（如果可能），您可以将其引导至？

有两种方法：shmget和mmap。我将讨论mmap，因为它更现代，更灵活，但是如果您想使用旧式工具，可以看看man shmget（或本教程）。

该mmap()功能可用于分配具有高度可自定义参数的内存缓冲区，以控制访问和权限，并在必要时通过文件系统存储支持它们。

以下函数创建一个内存缓冲，进程可以与其子进程共享该缓冲区：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

void* create_shared_memory(size_t size) {
  // Our memory buffer will be readable and writable:
  int protection = PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE;

  // The buffer will be shared (meaning other processes can access it), but
  // anonymous (meaning third-party processes cannot obtain an address for it),
  // so only this process and its children will be able to use it:
  int visibility = MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS;

  // The remaining parameters to `mmap()` are not important for this use case,
  // but the manpage for `mmap` explains their purpose.
  return mmap(NULL, size, protection, visibility, -1, 0);
}

下面是一个示例程序，该程序使用上面定义的功能来分配缓冲区。父进程将编写一条消息，进行分叉，然后等待其子进程修改缓冲区。这两个进程都可以读取和写入共享内存。

#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
  char parent_message[] = "hello";  // parent process will write this message
  char child_message[] = "goodbye"; // child process will then write this one

  void* shmem = create_shared_memory(128);

  memcpy(shmem, parent_message, sizeof(parent_message));

  int pid = fork();

  if (pid == 0) {
    printf("Child read: %s\n", shmem);
    memcpy(shmem, child_message, sizeof(child_message));
    printf("Child wrote: %s\n", shmem);

  } else {
    printf("Parent read: %s\n", shmem);
    sleep(1);
    printf("After 1s, parent read: %s\n", shmem);
  }
}

这是共享内存的示例：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>

#define SHM_SIZE 1024  /* make it a 1K shared memory segment */

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    key_t key;
    int shmid;
    char *data;
    int mode;

    if (argc > 2) {
        fprintf(stderr, "usage: shmdemo [data_to_write]\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    /* make the key: */
    if ((key = ftok("hello.txt", 'R')) == -1) /*Here the file must exist */ 
{
        perror("ftok");
        exit(1);
    }

    /*  create the segment: */
    if ((shmid = shmget(key, SHM_SIZE, 0644 | IPC_CREAT)) == -1) {
        perror("shmget");
        exit(1);
    }

    /* attach to the segment to get a pointer to it: */
    data = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
    if (data == (char *)(-1)) {
        perror("shmat");
        exit(1);
    }

    /* read or modify the segment, based on the command line: */
    if (argc == 2) {
        printf("writing to segment: \"%s\"\n", argv[1]);
        strncpy(data, argv[1], SHM_SIZE);
    } else
        printf("segment contains: \"%s\"\n", data);

    /* detach from the segment: */
    if (shmdt(data) == -1) {
        perror("shmdt");
        exit(1);
    }

    return 0;
}

脚步 ：

1. 使用ftok将路径名和项目标识符转换为System V IPC密钥

2. 使用shmget分配共享的内存段

3. 使用shmat将shmid标识的共享内存段附加到调用进程的地址空间

4. 在存储区上进行操作

5. 使用shmdt分离

这些包括使用共享内存

#include<sys/ipc.h>
#include<sys/shm.h>

int shmid;
int shmkey = 12222;//u can choose it as your choice

int main()
{
  //now your main starting
  shmid = shmget(shmkey,1024,IPC_CREAT);
  // 1024 = your preferred size for share memory
  // IPC_CREAT  its a flag to create shared memory

  //now attach a memory to this share memory
  char *shmpointer = shmat(shmid,NULL);

  //do your work with the shared memory 
  //read -write will be done with the *shmppointer
  //after your work is done deattach the pointer

  shmdt(&shmpointer, NULL);

试试这个代码示例，我对其进行了测试，来源：http : //www.makelinux.net/alp/035

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <sys/shm.h> 
#include <sys/stat.h> 

int main () 
{
  int segment_id; 
  char* shared_memory; 
  struct shmid_ds shmbuffer; 
  int segment_size; 
  const int shared_segment_size = 0x6400; 

  /* Allocate a shared memory segment.  */ 
  segment_id = shmget (IPC_PRIVATE, shared_segment_size, 
                 IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL | S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR); 
  /* Attach the shared memory segment.  */ 
  shared_memory = (char*) shmat (segment_id, 0, 0); 
  printf ("shared memory attached at address %p\n", shared_memory); 
  /* Determine the segment's size. */ 
  shmctl (segment_id, IPC_STAT, &shmbuffer); 
  segment_size  =               shmbuffer.shm_segsz; 
  printf ("segment size: %d\n", segment_size); 
  /* Write a string to the shared memory segment.  */ 
  sprintf (shared_memory, "Hello, world."); 
  /* Detach the shared memory segment.  */ 
  shmdt (shared_memory); 

  /* Reattach the shared memory segment, at a different address.  */ 
  shared_memory = (char*) shmat (segment_id, (void*) 0x5000000, 0); 
  printf ("shared memory reattached at address %p\n", shared_memory); 
  /* Print out the string from shared memory.  */ 
  printf ("%s\n", shared_memory); 
  /* Detach the shared memory segment.  */ 
  shmdt (shared_memory); 

  /* Deallocate the shared memory segment.  */ 
  shmctl (segment_id, IPC_RMID, 0); 

  return 0; 
} 

这是一个mmap示例：

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

/*
 * pvtmMmapAlloc - creates a memory mapped file area.  
 * The return value is a page-aligned memory value, or NULL if there is a failure.
 * Here's the list of arguments:
 * @mmapFileName - the name of the memory mapped file
 * @size - the size of the memory mapped file (should be a multiple of the system page for best performance)
 * @create - determines whether or not the area should be created.
