OS SERVICES - Creating a shared heap

Creating a shared heap

For several cooperating tasks to share a heap, one task must first create the heap and flatten it to a stream:

  TSharedMemoryHeap* sharedHeap = new TSharedMemoryHeap(size);
  Flatten(sharedHeap, stream);

This operation doesn't stream the heap memory itself; it only streams the TSharedMemoryHeap object that refers to the heap memory. Every other cooperating task can then resurrect the TSharedMemoryHeap object from the stream:

Resurrect(mySharedHeap, stream);
