First of all am quite new to cpp especially under linux.
I am currently working on a small project under Linux and am having to deal with large number of data(larger than 1 GB). numerous number of operation is to be done with these data. for example: sorting, searching, comparing ... etc. so in order to perform all these operations it is important that these data are in the memory...
in order to deal with such a large amount of data am thinking of using a memory mapped file..
can anyone help me or guide me in the steps of creating a memory mapped file?
hi KDan !
the following steps tell u how to create a memory mapped file:
1. use 'open' function to get a file description;
2. create a memory maped file using 'mmap' function, which returns a pointer to the address of the memory;
3. 'munmap' function close a memory maped file;
4. 'close' to close the file;
btw:why not use database operation instead?
