TMapFile Class Reference

This class implements a shared memory region mapped to a file.

Objects can be placed into this shared memory area using the Add() member function. To actually place a copy of the object is shared memory call Update() also whenever the mapped object(s) change(s) call Update() to put a fresh copy in the shared memory. This extra step is necessary since it is not possible to share objects with virtual pointers between processes (the vtbl ptr points to the originators unique address space and can not be used by the consumer process(es)). Consumer processes can map the memory region from this file and access the objects stored in it via the Get() method (which returns a copy of the object stored in the shared memory with correct vtbl ptr set). Only objects of classes with a Streamer() member function defined can be shared.

I know the current implementation is not ideal (you need to copy to and from the shared memory file) but the main problem is with the class' virtual_table pointer. This pointer points to a table unique for every process. Therefore, different options are:

  1. One could allocate an object directly in shared memory in the producer, but the consumer still has to copy the object from shared memory into a local object which has the correct vtbl pointer for that process (copy ctor's can be used for creating the local copy).
  2. Another possibility is to only allow objects without virtual functions in shared memory (like simple C structs), or to forbid (how?) the consumer from calling any virtual functions of the objects in shared memory.
  3. A last option is to copy the object internals to shared memory and copy them again from there. This is what is done in the TMapFile (using the object Streamer() to make a deep copy).

Option 1) saves one copy, but requires solid copy ctor's (along the full inheritance chain) to rebuild the object in the consumer. Most classes don't provide these copy ctor's, especially not when objects contain collections, etc. 2) is too limiting or dangerous (calling accidentally a virtual function will segv). So since we have a robust Streamer mechanism I opted for 3).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TMapFile() [1/3]

TMapFile::TMapFile ( )
protected

Default ctor. Does not much except setting some basic values.

Definition at line 199 of file TMapFile.cxx.

◆ TMapFile() [2/3]

TMapFile::TMapFile ( const char *  name,
const char *  title,
Option_t option,
Int_t  size,
TMapFile *&  newMapFile 
)
protected

Create a memory mapped file.

This opens a file (to which the memory will be mapped) and attaches a memory region to it. Option can be either: "NEW", "CREATE", "RECREATE", "UPDATE" or "READ" (see TFile). The default open mode is "READ". The size argument specifies the maximum size of shared memory file in bytes. This protected ctor is called via the static Create() method.

Definition at line 233 of file TMapFile.cxx.

◆ TMapFile() [3/3]

TMapFile::TMapFile ( const TMapFile f,
Long_t  offset = 0 
)
protected

Private copy ctor.

Used by the the ctor to create a new version of TMapFile in the memory mapped heap. It's main purpose is to correctly create the string data members.

Definition at line 516 of file TMapFile.cxx.

◆ ~TMapFile()

TMapFile::~TMapFile ( )
virtual

TMapFiles may not be deleted, since we want to keep the complete TMapFile object in the mapped file for later re-use.

To enforce this the delete operator has been made private. Use Close() to properly terminate a TMapFile (also done via the TROOT dtor).

Add an object to the list of objects to be stored in shared memory.

To place the object actually into shared memory call Update().

◆ Close()

void TMapFile::Close ( Option_t option = "")

Close a mapped file.

First detach mapped memory then close file. No member functions of a TMapFile that was opened in write mode may be called after Close() (this includes, of course, "delete" which would call the dtors). The option="dtor" is only used when called via the ~TMapFile.

◆ Create()

TMapFile * TMapFile::Create ( const char *  name,
Option_t option = "READ",
Int_t  size = kDefaultMapSize,

)
static

Create a memory mapped file.

This opens a file (to which the memory will be mapped) and attaches a memory region to it. Option can be either: "NEW", "CREATE", "RECREATE", "UPDATE" or "READ" (see TFile). The default open mode is "READ". The size argument specifies the maximum size of shared memory file in bytes. TMapFile's can only be created via this method. Create() enforces that a TMapFile is always on the memory mapped heap (when "NEW", "CREATE" or "RECREATE" are used).

Return the best buffer size for objects in this file.

The best buffer size is estimated based on the current mean value and standard deviation of all objects written so far to this file. Returns mean value + one standard deviation.

◆ MapToAddress()

void * TMapFile::MapToAddress ( )
staticprotected

Return the base address at which we would like the next TMapFile's mapped data to start.

For now, we let the system decide (start address 0). There are a lot of issues to deal with here to make this work reasonably, including:

  • Avoid memory collisions with existing mapped address spaces
  • Reclaim address spaces when their mmalloc heaps are unmapped
  • When mmalloc heaps are shared between processes they have to be mapped at the same addresses in each

Once created, a mmalloc heap that is to be mapped back in must be mapped at the original address. I.e. each TMapFile will expect to be remapped at it's original address. This becomes a problem if the desired address is already in use.

Definition at line 1201 of file TMapFile.cxx.

  2. Add to producer program, just before creating the TMapFile: TMapFile::SetMapAddress(0x40b4c000);

Repeat this if more than one map file is being used. The above procedure allow programs using, e.g., different number of shared libraries (that cause the default mapping address to be different) to create shared memory regions in the same location without overwriting a shared library. The above assumes the consumer program is larger (i.e. has more shared memory occupied) than the producer. If this is not true inverse the procedure.
