[comp.sys.sequent] bcopy on a sequent symmetry

jdn@sbcs.sunysb.edu (John Norden) (12/04/88)

Has anyone ever tried to use bcopy to copy a shared memory region
to a non shared region with success.  When I run the code bellow I
get a segmentation fault.  Is this a bug with bcopy?

This just an example I am actually trying to copy a struct.  



shared  int x;
main () {
    int y;
    bcopy (&x, &y, sizeof (int));
}
