Re: [BUGS] ISM shared memory on solaris

[Josh Wilmes]

Seems like the BEST case would be to have a configure test verify that 
it works and define something if it does, but i don't know what such a 
test would look like.

I think this is going in the wrong direction.  Why isn't the code just

#if defined(SHM_SHARE_MMU)
        /* use intimate shared memory on Solaris */
        memAddress = shmat(shmid, 0, SHM_SHARE_MMU);
#else
If the symbol is available I think we probably want to use it.  It is an
O/S issue, not a hardware issue, and so the test on __sparc__ seems
quite wrongheaded ...


What I was hoping to do with the define test was to throw an error if we
don't find intimate shared memory on Solaris, but the define doesn't
work fir i386/Solaris so we are probably better going with the define as
you suggest --- I just hope we don't fail to include a file and somehow
miss it on some version of Solaris.
Change applied.
