40 If FD is a valid file descriptor for an open file then data for the
41 mmalloc managed region is mapped to that file, otherwise "/dev/zero"
42 is used and the data will not exist in any filesystem object.
44 If the open file corresponding to FD is from a previous use of
45 mmalloc and passes some basic sanity checks to ensure that it is
46 compatible with the current mmalloc package, then it's data is
47 mapped in and is immediately accessible at the same addresses in
48 the current process as the process that created the file.
50 If BASEADDR is not NULL, the mapping is established starting at the
51 specified address in the process address space. If BASEADDR is NULL,
52 the mmalloc package chooses a suitable address at which to start the
53 mapped region, which will be the value of the previous mapping if
54 opening an existing file which was previously built by mmalloc, or
55 for new files will be a value chosen by mmap.
57 Specifying BASEADDR provides more control over where the regions
58 start and how big they can be before bumping into existing mapped
59 regions or future mapped regions.
61 On success, returns a "malloc descriptor" which is used in subsequent
62 calls to other mmalloc package functions. It is explicitly "void *"
63 ("char *" for systems that don't fully support void) so that users
64 of the package don't have to worry about the actual implementation

153 Note that we have to update the file descriptor number in the malloc-
154 descriptor read from the file to match the current valid one, before
155 trying to map the file in, and again after a successful mapping and
156 after we've switched over to using the mapped in malloc descriptor
157 rather than the temporary one on the stack.
159 Once we've switched over to using the mapped in malloc descriptor, we
160 have to update the pointer to the morecore function, since it almost
161 certainly will be at a different address if the process reusing the
162 mapped region is from a different executable.
164 Also note that if the heap being remapped previously used the mmcheck()
165 routines, we need to update the hooks since their target functions
166 will have certainly moved if the executable has changed in any way.
