Can anyone give me some advise on how I can force malloc (or equal) to use only a particular region of memory? i.e so if process1 maintains a hashed list, complete with string pointers to variable length strings in the nodes all children will be able to see this list? -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
