mulle-mmapallocator

🌍 mulle-mmapallocator a mulle-allocator that shared memory

mulle-mmapallocator can be used to create memory allocations shared across process boundaries. Due to cross-platform considerations, the memory to be shared with the other processes must be pre-allocated at initialization time.

mulle-mmapallocator can also be used to create a separate allocation space, which can then easily be reclaimed by destroying the allocator.
