missing shm_open and shm_unlink

[rnbhays@rochester.rr.com]

In reply to Don Marquardt's initial question, Corinna indicated the shm_open and shm_unlink would  be supported in the next release. I am using the followign version using the uname -a command 

CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2007-12-14 19:21 i686 Cygwin

The two commands do not seem to be supported yet. The version mentioned in Corinna's response is 1.5.24. I am what looks to be the next version. I looked in sys/mman.h and do not see these two function prototypes. Is there a plan to add this functionality?

Thanks

POSIX shared memory objects are not implemented in Cygwin up to 1.5.24.
The next release will contain an implementation, but for the time being
just use standard anonymous shared memory.
