MMAP and pointer
 
Hello,

I use mmap at first time with.

source = mmap (NULL, fst1.st_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, file, 0)) == (void *) -1)

Return pointer c0xb7fb1000.

after this I use:

source2 = mmap (source, fst1.st_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, file, 0)) == (void *) -1)

Return pointer 0xb7fb0000.

Why source2 != source? :scratch: I can not understand it.


Thanks in advance.

Read the manpage of mmap. On the first page of the manpage:
Quote:
void * mmap(void *start, size_t length, int prot, int flags, int fd, off_t offset);

...preferably at address start. This latter address is a hint only, and is usually specified as 0.

To have both at the same address, you can use the flag MAP_FIXED, but if that fails, nothing will be done. (It's in the manpage too)

Well is true.
 
The problem is that I can not write to disk a stream I do not know.

char *hello[]={"Hello I think in this kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkklllllllllllllllllllllllfin"};
Pointer hello is 0xbfc7efac.
pointer to disk 0xb7f81000 of mmap return.
memcpy (0xbfc7efac to 0xb7f81000 30 bytes).
msync(pointer to disk).

Any error of this functions.

But in file I can not view hello 30 bytes.

I do not understand it.
