I am trying to share some data between 2 processes. The first writes the data in mapped file and the second reads it.
Here's my code so far:
First process:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Windows.h>
#include <tlhelp32.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#define BUF_SIZE 256
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {
TCHAR szName[] = TEXT("Global\\MyFileMappingObject");
LPTSTR szMsg = TEXT("MESS");
HANDLE tokenH;
TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tp;
LUID luid;
if (!OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, &tokenH)) {
printf("OpenProcessToken error: %u\n", GetLastError());
return FALSE;
}
if (!LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, SE_CREATE_GLOBAL_NAME, &luid)) {
printf("LookupPrivilegeValue error: %u\n", GetLastError());
return FALSE;
}
tp.PrivilegeCount = 1;
tp.Privileges[0].Luid = luid;
tp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;
if (!AdjustTokenPrivileges(tokenH, FALSE, &tp, sizeof(TOKEN_PRIVILEGES),(PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES)NULL, (PDWORD)NULL)) {
printf("AdjustTokenPrivileges error: %u\n", GetLastError());
return FALSE;
}
if (GetLastError() == ERROR_NOT_ALL_ASSIGNED)
{
printf("The token does not have the specified privilege. \n");
return FALSE;
}
CloseHandle(tokenH);
HANDLE hMapFile;
LPCTSTR pBuf;
hMapFile = CreateFileMapping(
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE,
NULL,
PAGE_READWRITE,
0,
BUF_SIZE,
szName);
if (hMapFile == NULL)
{
_tprintf(TEXT("Could not create file mapping object (%d).\n"),
GetLastError());
return 1;
}
pBuf = (LPTSTR)MapViewOfFile(hMapFile,
FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS,
0,
0,
BUF_SIZE);
if (pBuf == NULL)
{
_tprintf(TEXT("Could not map view of file (%d).\n"),
GetLastError());
CloseHandle(hMapFile);
return 1;
}
CopyMemory((PVOID)pBuf, szMsg, (_tcslen(szMsg) * sizeof(TCHAR)));
UnmapViewOfFile(pBuf);
printf("Done\n");
CloseHandle(hMapFile);
return 0;
}
Second process:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Windows.h>
#include <tlhelp32.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "user32.lib")
#define BUF_SIZE 256
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
TCHAR szName[] = TEXT("Global\\MyFileMappingObject");
HANDLE tokenH;
TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tp;
LUID luid;
OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, &tokenH);
if (!LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, SE_DEBUG_NAME, &luid)) {
printf("LookupPrivilegeValue error: %u\n", GetLastError());
return FALSE;
}
tp.PrivilegeCount = 1;
tp.Privileges[0].Luid = luid;
tp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;
if (!AdjustTokenPrivileges(tokenH, FALSE, &tp, sizeof(TOKEN_PRIVILEGES), (PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES)NULL, (PDWORD)NULL)) {
printf("AdjustTokenPrivileges error: %u\n", GetLastError());
return FALSE;
}
if (GetLastError() == ERROR_NOT_ALL_ASSIGNED)
{
printf("The token does not have the specified privilege. \n");
return FALSE;
}
CloseHandle(tokenH);
HANDLE hMapFile;
LPCTSTR pBuf;
hMapFile = OpenFileMapping(
FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, // read/write access
FALSE, // do not inherit the name
szName); // name of mapping object
if (hMapFile == NULL)
{
_tprintf(TEXT("Could not open file mapping object (%d).\n"),
GetLastError());
return 1;
}
pBuf = (LPTSTR)MapViewOfFile(hMapFile, // handle to map object
FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, // read/write permission
0,
0,
BUF_SIZE);
if (pBuf == NULL)
{
_tprintf(TEXT("Could not map view of file (%d).\n"),
GetLastError());
CloseHandle(hMapFile);
return 1;
}
MessageBox(NULL, pBuf, TEXT("Process2"), MB_OK);
UnmapViewOfFile(pBuf);
CloseHandle(hMapFile);
return 0;
}
The first process manages to write its data (I don't receive any error message and get the "Done" message), but the problem is with the the second process. After "OpenFileMapping", I get from getLastError the code 2 which is for non-existent file. I run both processes as administrator.
