Question about location of libdt_socket vs libdt_shmem

[Thomas Stüfe]

Hi Alan,

thanks! One more question: I find no platform dependent coding on for the
shared memory transport layer for Unix, just for Windows. I would have
expected some mmap() calls somewhere, and a LoadLibrary(dt_shmem). Looking
closer, I also cannot find a libdt_shmem.so on a jdk10 linux build.

How does shared memory transport work on Unix?

..Thomas
