我的mmap代码中的哪些设置会将所有文件数据设置为零？

Question

I am implementing one half of a stream where you should be able to jump X integers back or forth. On top of that when I open a file it should preserve the data in the file. In this implementation I try to use mmap. My problem is when I open a file a second time the mapped data is purely zeroes. My open method is called createStream and looks like this:

void MapperOutForward::createStream(const char* filename)
{
    this->filename = filename;
    pFile = open(filename, O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_SYNC, S_IRWXG|S_IRWXO|S_IRWXU);
    if ( pFile ==  -1) 
    {
        int errsv = errno;
        cout << "MappedStreamOut createStream open error: " << strerror( errno ) << endl;
    }

    //getting file size and making the file big enough
    struct stat filestatus;
    stat( filename, &filestatus );
    if(filestatus.st_size < mapSize + 1)
    {
        lseek (pFile, mapSize + 1, SEEK_SET);
        write (pFile, "", 1);
    }
    lseek (pFile, 0, SEEK_SET);

    map = (int*) mmap (0, mapSize, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, pFile, 0);
    close (pFile);

    if ( map == (int*) -1) 
    {
        cout << "MappedStreamOut createStream mmap error: " << strerror(errno) << endl;
    }

    numberOfOffsets = 1;
    numberOfElementsInMap = 0;

    cout << "Kopirer 5 før og 4 efter i Create" << endl;
    for(int i = 0; i < numberOfElementsInMap + 5; i++)
    {
        cout << map[i] << endl;
    }
    cout << "Create numberOfOffsets:numberOfElementsInMap " << numberOfOffsets << ":" << numberOfElementsInMap << endl; 
}

The output at the end tells me that when I am done opening I am at the beginning of the file and the first 5 integers are 0.

The O_CREAT flag in the open command should only create a file if it is not existing, and I can se that the file keeps its size after I call this command a second time. man open

The PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ flags in the mmap command seems only to activate some security and not changing anything in the file. man mmap

The rest of the class is here:

And the main file is here:

//#include "MapperStreamFactory.h"
#include <functional>

int main( int argc, const char* argv[] )
{
/*********************Tester Buffer Stream*************************************/
    close(open((char*) "mapperTest", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_SYNC | O_TRUNC, S_IRWXG|S_IRWXO|S_IRWXU));
    //BufferStreamFactory* bsf = new BufferStreamFactory(3);

    MapperOutForward* mso = new MapperOutForward(1);
    mso->createStream((char*) "mapperTest");

    int data[4000];

    for(int i = 0; i < 4000; i++)
    {
        data[i] = i + 1;
    }

    mso->writeNext(data, 4000);
    mso->closeStream();

    MapperOutForward* mso1 = new MapperOutForward(1);
    mso1->createStream((char*) "mapperTest");

    data[0] = 9999;

    mso1->jumpTo(0);

    mso1->jumpTo(100);
    mso1->writeNext(data, 1);

    mso1->jumpTo(1000);
    mso1->writeNext(data, 1);

    mso1->jumpTo(-900);
    mso1->writeNext(data, 1);

    mso1->closeStream();
}

It is all running on Ubuntu Linux and compiled with g++.

Thanks for the time used to read all this and I hope you can help me.

You probably need MAP_SHARED instead of MAP_PRIVATE or the changes won't be written to the file, as specified by the standard .

MAP_SHARED and MAP_PRIVATE describe the disposition of write references to the memory object. If MAP_SHARED is specified, write references shall change the underlying object. If MAP_PRIVATE is specified, modifications to the mapped data by the calling process shall be visible only to the calling process and shall not change the underlying object.
