hello, 600000 float is 2.4Mo. It's not a huge amount of space. So 1st solution should work, and should be easier than 2nd solution.

if your question is a subtitle way to ask for an "allocate" message, then well... It's on my list. but i will not have time soon to work on that. but anyone is free to help ;-)

cheers c

ok thanks for the explanation. Another question: If i want to have a flexible memory size, would you recommend to reserve a huge amount of space (600000) just in case, or could I try to create the shmem object in the right size with dynamic patching?

Hello,

usually, it's because the program that allocate memorry did crash. So the memory is not free and can't be allocated by anyone else.

possible solution are : -reboot

• change mem Id
• manually free the memory :

ipcrm shm 1234 on a terminal cheers c

what could be the causes that shmem fails to allocate the memory? could not allocate shmem memory Id : 1234, size 600000

thanks max
