Thanks for your reply.

But while trying to do this, is there a guarantee that

1. the mapping will succeed (I am guessing not.)?

No.

2. even if it succeeds, the mapped address range will *not* be already in use by the process?

If it's already used by the process, you won't be able to map it.

I am guessing some form of pre-reserving the VM address space range may be necessary - perhaps done during compilation or linking the programs concerned.

I can't help you much here, but I guess that you could use the linker file to reserve some virtual memory of your process that *maybe* could be used for this mapping. But I'm just guessing. Regards, Ion
