Hi :

I remember there was a discussion on using Global variables and
SharedArena() but I don't have any transcript of that discussion with
me. So I just wanted to make sure that I am have my understanding
correct.

Using a pfMalloc/vgMalloc to allocate memory for data_structures
will enable me to share the data among differnt Processes. Am I correct?
Suppose I have a structure whose fields(int/float etc) are being set
through a GUI interface, and which will subsequently be read into the
Vega/Performer App as control parameters, will it make a difference
if I use pfMalloc/VgMalloc/malloc functions and try to share the data
when Multiprocessing ??

Thanks

Ram
