At the moment if you run
fsatrace rwm - -- some command
twice in parallel then they end up sharing a buffer and results from both get shared. I have solved this in the patch below by making a unique shared memory buffer for each by addingGetTickCount
into the name. I have marked this PR draft because it only works on Windows, so you will want to do something slightly different.I couldn't find a good source of unique data in a portable way. The high resolution C time functions are not available on MingW, and the 1 second
time()
is insufficient (both in theory and testing). One option is to make it an#ifdef
, or maybe you know of a suitable random source.
