So whether the 'type' of the mutexattr is shared or private, it really will * not make a difference since both processes will always have access to the shared memory * as long as they the pointer to it. So all we check here is that you can actually call * the pthread_mutexattr_setpshared() function, passing to it PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED and * PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. * * 1. Initialize a pthread_mutexattr_t object. * 2. Call pthread_mutexattr_getpshared(), passing to it both PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARE and * PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE. * */ #include #include #include "posixtest.h" pthread_mutex_t new_mutex; /* The mutex. */ int main() { pthread_mutexattr_t mta; int ret; /* Initialize a mutex attributes object */ if(pthread_mutexattr_init(&mta) != 0) { perror("Error at pthread_mutexattr_init()\n"); return PTS_UNRESOLVED; } /* Set the 'pshared' attribute to PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE */ if((ret=pthread_mutexattr_setpshared(&mta, PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE)) != 0) { printf("Test FAILED: Cannot set pshared attribute to PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.
