Abstract
Embodiments are directed to safe shared-memory communication between processes. In an embodiment, a data structure for communicating data references, to data in a shared memory, from a sender to a receiver, free from interference, is generated and maintained. The data structure may comprise a queue of the data references that is both readable and writable by the sender and only readable by the receiver, a write index that indicates a write position within the queue, wherein the write index is both readable and writable by the sender and only readable by the receiver, and a read index that indicates a read position within the queue, wherein the read index is only readable by the sender and both readable and writable by the receiver. In addition, read and write operations from and to the queue may utilize plausibility checks to detect and resolve potential corruption of the data structure.
