Have you got my modified message? or have I been wasting my revisions all along O.o? I'll repost. O.o can you please elaborate? I wrote a DLL a while ago that successfully shared the global state it exported between the callers that without any shared memory explicitly being created. I'll recreate a test case to make sure that I am not just lying. *Solution SharingDemo*: *Project ShareMe*: *ShareMe.cpp*: #pragma data_seg("SHARED") extern "C" { __declspec(dllexport) int sharedInteger = 0; } #pragma data_seg() #pragma comment(linker, "/section:SHARED,RWS") *Project Client1*: *main.cpp*: #include <Windows.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { HMODULE module_handle = LoadLibrary("ShareMe.dll"); int *shared_integer_handle = (int *)GetProcAddress(module_handle, "sharedInteger"); printf("*(shared_integer_handle) = %d.\n", *shared_integer_handle); *shared_integer_handle = 1337; printf("*(shared_integer_handle) = %d.\n", *shared_integer_handle); system("pause"); return 0; } *Project Client2*: *main.cpp*: #include <Windows.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { HMODULE module_handle = LoadLibrary("ShareMe.dll"); int *shared_integer_handle = (int *)GetProcAddress(module_handle, "sharedInteger"); printf("*(shared_integer_handle) = %d.\n", *shared_integer_handle); *shared_integer_handle = 0; printf("*(shared_integer_handle) = %d.\n", *shared_integer_handle); system("pause"); return 0; } now, debug client1, then debug client2. Client 2 should start with mutated shared state(1337). -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Can-Pharo-VM-be-altered-to-act-like-GNUStep-as-well-tp...
