From c0d62b8a946256012a291bc0b3e760080b9467bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Dawid=20Budzy=C5=84ski?= Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 14:10:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] fix(share): normalize shm object names with leading slash on all POSIX platforms shm_open() requires names of the form /somename per POSIX. FreeBSD enforces this strictly and fails with EINVAL when the name lacks a leading slash, breaking shareData()/getData() (fastverse/kit#40). Linux and macOS silently accept slash-less names, which masked the portability issue until now. Replace the SunOS-only special case with a general normalization that ensures exactly one leading slash in both shareData() and getData(), so creation, retrieval and unlink all use consistent object IDs. --- R/call.R | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/R/call.R b/R/call.R index f480992..779a6f7 100644 --- a/R/call.R +++ b/R/call.R @@ -61,11 +61,13 @@ psort = function(x, decreasing = FALSE, na.last = NA, nThread=getOption("kit.nTh sort(x, decreasing = decreasing, na.last = na.last,method = if(c.locale) "radix" else "quick") } +shmName = function(map_name) sub("^/*", "/", map_name) + shareData = function(data, map_name, verbose=FALSE) { conn = rawConnection(raw(0L), "w") serialize(data, conn) seek(conn, 0L) - if (grepl('SunOS',Sys.info()['sysname'])) map_name = paste0("/",map_name) + map_name = shmName(map_name) x = .Call( "CcreateMappingObjectR", map_name, paste0(map_name,"_key"), rawConnectionValue(conn), verbose @@ -75,7 +77,7 @@ shareData = function(data, map_name, verbose=FALSE) { } getData = function(map_name, verbose=FALSE) { - if (grepl('SunOS',Sys.info()['sysname'])) map_name = paste0("/",map_name) + map_name = shmName(map_name) output = .Call("CgetMappingObjectR", map_name, paste0(map_name,"_key"), verbose) conn = rawConnection(output,"r") obj = unserialize(conn) From 08440bd10c9901162025b4fe8b777d6561869bdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Dawid=20Budzy=C5=84ski?= Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 14:10:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fix(share): unmap the data address mapping in getMappingObjectR The cleanup path called munmap() on the 'length' mapping a second time (with the data size) instead of unmapping 'addr'.
