Hi

I was wondering how you can specify that a global variable instance in a
shared
library should be shared among all clients of that library - i.e. clients
should share
the same instance. (Similar to a singleton).

In win32, this is achieved using a pragma like so:

#pragma data_seg(".SHARED")
std::string g_myGlobalString;
#pragma data_seg()

On Solaris, I use the GNU g++ compiler version 3.01

Anyone?

Regards
Martin

I _think_ you need to use shared memory (see man shm_open), and protect
the access to it (mutex/lock/...)
