Reimplement support for flags to mmap (nosync nocore)
bovine opened this issue · comments
During the Boost reimplementation in the cpp branch, support for the "flags" argument to mmap() had to be removed because Boost did not support overriding it at the time.
However, Boost Version 1.54.0 now supports platform-specific flags to mapped_region so we should re-add support for it.

currently waiting for FreeBSD ports to be updated to boost 1.54 first. I've contacted the ports maintainer and he said: "I'm exp-running to make sure it doesn't break a port depending one it. Might need a couple of more weeks to finish it."
Just in case this was forgotten, we now ship boost 1.55.0 :)
To specify the "options" argument of mapped_region to managed_mapped_file, we need to do this:
Hi Jeff,
You need to pass those options from several classes and the interface will become very ugly (too many arguments) say:
basic_managed_mapped_file's constructor -> managed_open_or_create_impl's constructor ->
managed_open_or_create_impl::priv_open_or_createand in this function, pass it to the newly created mapped_region in the map_options_t argument.
Adding this and other options would require a modification to the interface of managed classes and I haven't had time to try to design a cleaner interface to pass multiple options.
Hope this helps,
Ion
