Hi Michael!

...

I'm compiling under Ubuntu 14.10 (amd64):

$ g++ boost-mmap.cpp -lboost_iostreams $ ./a.out 0 2147493647 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Everything is 64-bits:

You are certain that 'everything' is 64-bits? Without diving too deep into any code, this sounds vaguely, suspiciously like a 32-bit addressing issue. It could even be something as 'simple' as underlying file API, or other, code using shorts, ints, instead of longs, for legacy purposes. Or layers built on said underlying API (i.e. boost wrappers).

Yes, I'm pretty sure that all my system and boost libs are all 64 bits: $ dpkg --get-selections | grep boost-iostream libboost-iostreams-dev:amd64 install libboost-iostreams1.55-dev:amd64 install libboost-iostreams1.55.0:amd64 install $ file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_iostreams.so.1.55.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_iostreams.so.1.55.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=a4839c7904aba3cb68a66739aa801e4d5d50c14f, stripped I'm using just boost API, that calls mmap().

It doesn't matter. Same code doesn't work when using boost mapped_file. On 05/05/2015 04:47 AM, james wrote:

In the original code you're seeking to FILESIZE - 1, but in this code you're seeking to FILESIZE - 2

Using mmap() directly, it works as expected:

#include #include #include #include #include

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <cassert>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const size_t GIGA = 1024l*1024l*1024l; const size_t FILESIZE = 2l * GIGA + 10000;

ofstream block("file", ios::binary | ios::out); assert(block.good());

block.seekp(FILESIZE); block.write("", 1); block.close();

auto fd = open("file", O_RDWR);

if (fd == -1) { perror("Error opening file for reading"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }

char *map = (char*)mmap(0, FILESIZE, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

if (map == MAP_FAILED) { close(fd); perror("Error mmapping file"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }

char buffer[10] = {0};

cout << 0 << endl; lseek(fd, 0, 0); write(fd, buffer, 1);

cout << FILESIZE - 2 << endl; lseek(fd, FILESIZE - 2, 0); write(fd, buffer, 1);

cout << 1l*GIGA << endl; lseek(fd, 1l*GIGA, 0); write(fd, buffer, 1);

if (munmap(map, FILESIZE) == -1) { perror("Error un-mmapping the file"); }

close(fd);

return 0; }
