Is this point about the DLL process not getting the same shared area not covered by KB article: Q100634. In which case pointers would not actually work correctly but the data *is* still shared correctly?<br />
<br />
Otherwise there would be no point in implementing the feature.<br />

This is from Q100634: <br />
<br />
&quot;if the block cannot be loaded into the same memory address, it is mapped to a different address, but it is still shared.&quot;.<br />
<br />
So I guess I'm wrong about data not beeing shared when dll's are relocated, but I would still use the memmory mapped file method.<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In 16-bit land data in a dll could be shared. In 32-bit land the data can still be shared but must be declared in a #pragma data_seg compiler directive.<br />
<br />
If I do this is there a new problem of the data being accessed across different thread boundaries? In which case do I have to place a critical section around access to all the shared data?

#pragma data_seg(&quot;shared&quot;) and threads?

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

#pragma data_seg(&quot;shared&quot;) and threads?

#pragma data_seg("shared") and threads?
