I have a program. I want it to be able to mmap a particular region of memory over different runs.

  1. I have the source code of the program. C/C++
  2. I control how the program is compiled. gcc
  3. I control how the program is linked. gcc
  4. I control how the program is run (Linux).

I just want to have this particular region of memory, say 0xabcdabcd to 0xdeadbeef that I mmap to a particular file. Is there anyway to guarantee this? (I have to somehow make sure that other things aren’t loaded into this particular region).

EDIT:

How do I make sure that nothing else takes this particular region in memory?

    You cannot make sure that nothing else takes that area of memory – first come, first served. However, as you need a particular part of the memory, I’m guessing that you have a pretty specialized environment, so you simply need to make sure that you are first (using start scripts)
