Help!!!! Unix Shared Memory Question.

[motely36]

I know this is an odd place to ask, but I'm not getting any help at any computer forums, so I thought I'd try here.

I created a shared memroy segment using shmget() and then attached it to a pointer using shmat(). Now I want to put a boolean array into the shared memory. I thought I could do this by saying:

bool *isEmpty<5>=(bool*)(shmptr);

but the compiler gives me an error "invalid initializer" .

Any suggestions?

1. Anyone at all?

2. Lose the [5] at the initialization

bool *isEmpty=(bool*)(shmptr);

for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
isEmpty<i> = whatever;
}
