Detailed Description

Shared Memory Server.

Implements a circular buffer in shared memory using a client-server model, where you have one writer and potentially multiple readers. Note that if you have more readers than buffers, you can end up with all buffers busy when you want to write new data. Readers always grab the latest buffer. Things go more smooth when all users release their buffers as soon as they are done.Implements a circular buffer in shared memory using a client-server model, where you have one writer and potentially multiple readers.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

cx::SharedMemoryServer::SharedMemoryServer	(	QString	key,
		int	buffers,
		int	sizeEach,
		QObject *	parent = 0
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

key	A string identifying this resource. Must be unique system wide
buffers	The number of buffers to allocate. This should be set to the maximum number of concurrent readers to this resource + 2, allowing one buffer for the writer (this class), one for each reader and a spare so there is always a buffer for the writer to switch to.
sizeEach	The size of each buffer.
parent	The Qt parent object
