[Android-development] qsharedmemory_ashmem implementation

[Paul Olav Tvete]

Hi,

I have been working on https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-29524 
and after reading the code, the implementation does look a bit wrong, as 
Thiago suggested on development at . When I test QSharedMemory with a very simple 
program, it always fails on Android.

This makes me suspect that there is indeed something wrong with the 
implementation we have now in Qt5. Has it been verified to work with Necessitas 
and Qt4? 

Since we have very little time left, my preference is to revert to the old 
qsharedmemory_android.cpp, and document that shared memory is not supported on 
Android for Qt 5.1. I don't think this will be a showstopper, since I  believe 
that shared memory is not all that useful for app development.
