Previously, the handle for the control segment could not be zero, but some other DSM segment could potentially have a handle value of zero. However, that means that if someone wanted to store a dsm_handle that might or might not be valid, they would need a separate boolean to keep track of whether the associated value is legal. That's annoying, so change things so that no DSM segment can ever have a handle of 0 - or as we call it here, DSM_HANDLE_INVALID. Thomas Munro. This was submitted as part of a much larger patch to add an malloc-like allocator for dynamic shared memory, but this part seems like a good idea independently of the rest of the patch. |
