I am using a shared memory for storing some data using the shmget function.

I am using a shared memory for storing some data using the shmget function. Then I use shmat to attach it and save data. The next time i attach it, the program crashes. What are the possibilities that this line:

if((smemPtr = (int*)shmat(sMemId,NULL,0)) != (int *) -1)

crashes? I need to know the scenarios under which this line crashes. The sMemId has a value.

    (int*) (...) != (int *) -1
    

    Pointer to another object is unsigned value. In this code i see C-style casting signed (negative) value to unsigned. Result is depend from compiler, platform, and in the general case — undefined.
