Hi, guys, I need to acess shared memory, so I write some code like this: ```go func shmget(key int, size int, mode int) (int, error) { shmId, _, ret := syscall.Syscall(syscall.SYS_SHMGET, uintptr(key), uintptr(size), uintptr(mode)) if ret != 0 { return 0, fmt.Errorf("shmget ret: %d", ret) } return int(shmId), nil }
// shmat 映射共享内存地址到当前进程空间 func shmat(shmId int, addr unsafe.Pointer, flags int) (unsafe.Pointer, error) { shmAddr, _, ret := syscall.Syscall(syscall.SYS_SHMAT, uintptr(shmId), uintptr(addr), uintptr(flags)) if ret != 0 { return nil, fmt.Errorf("shmat ret: %d", ret) } *return unsafe.Pointer(shmAddr), nil // => possible misuse of unsafe.Pointer* } func GetShm(iKey, iSize, iFlag int) (unsafe.Pointer, error) { iShmID, err := shmget(iKey, iSize, iFlag) if err != nil { return nil, err } sShmPtr, err := shmat(iShmID, nil, iFlag) if err != nil { return nil, err } return sShmPtr, nil } ``` When I run go vet to check this code, it reports "possible misuse of unsafe.Pointer" for the bold line "*return unsafe.Pointer(shmaddr), nil*" . And I have read the Pointer rules. I see this case isn't listed in the rules. I want to know : - is it safe to use pointer like this? I think syscall `shmat` returns the attached memory address that doesn't controlled by GC. I think it's safe. - if it's safe, how could I work around this check? just neglect it or do we have some directives to prevent go vet checking?
