// Shared Memory Implementation Details

// Note: the win32 shared memory implementation uses two objects to represent
// the shared memory: a windows kernel based file mapping object and a backing
// store file. On windows, the name space for shared memory is a kernel
// based name space that is disjoint from other win32 name spaces. Since Java
// is unaware of this name space, a parallel file system based name space is
// maintained, which provides a common file system based shared memory name
// space across the supported platforms and one that Java apps can deal with
// through simple file apis.
//
// For performance and resource cleanup reasons, it is recommended that the
// user specific directory and the backing store file be stored in either a
// RAM based file system or a local disk based file system. Network based
// file systems are not recommended for performance reasons. In addition,
// use of SMB network based file systems may result in unsuccesful cleanup
// of the disk based resource on exit of the VM. The Windows TMP and TEMP
// environement variables, as used by the GetTempPath() Win32 API (see
// os::get_temp_directory() in os_win32.cpp), control the location of the
// user specific directory and the shared memory backing store file.
