Fixed on br_jbch_4.0.0 (commit #9827427) and tested under Fedora 23 64 bits (gcc  5.3.1).

Works fine.

Ongoing investigation, I am updating the ticket as documentation of current findings.

Problem seems to comes from the access right to the memory segment where you need to update Write/Read pointer values.

To resume a Ring buffer (from sender to receiver) needs two memory areas.
1) One to read and write the explicit datas
2) One to maintain the Ring Buffer status

For 2), the writer AND the reader need RW access to maintain the Ring Buffer status.

Problem have to be fixed in:
1) shm_open(..) usage (line 43 in SHMPosix::Open() function)
2) mmap(..) usage (line 92 SHMPosix::Attach() function)

I tried the test case for the SHM Memory communications between complied processus (with CERTI) CertiProcessus_A and CertiProcessus_B.

These are located under /CERTI_INSTALL_PATH/bin
When you try to run the Posix Ring Buffer SHM test case, then it fails.

To reproduce it:
----------------
1) In Main_SocketSHM.cc, due to Ticket #47597, Change line 63  from "Win32" to "Posix" and recompile CERTI

2) Go to the bin folder and open two terminals (don't forget to "source" CERTI env)

3) In one terminal call:

>> ./CertiProcessus_A


4) In the other terminal call:

>> ./CertiProcessus_B


5) Then Follow the instructions and select "RB" option to use Ring Buffer. Then you must send (command "S") from one process (example A) and read from the other (command "R" for example on B).

6) Then the reader will fail reporting
-------------------------------------------------
RingBuffer -->  Try to Receive...
RingBuffer::Receive(...) --> BEGIN Algorithm : Count_CS = 34 | Write_CS = 16| Read_CS = 0
RingBuffer::Receive(...) --> Utilisation memcpy Simple
RingBuffer::Receive(...) --> Adresse Utilisee  _Shm_CS->GetShm() = 0x7efcee8b8000| _Shm_CS->GetShm() + _Tab_CS[2] = 0x7efcee8b8000
RingBuffer::Receive(...) --> END Algorithm : Count_CS = 50 | Write_CS = 16| Read_CS = 16
AVANT  memcpy(_Pw_Pr_CS->GetShm(), _Tab_CS, 3 * sizeof(int) ) ; !!
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-------------------------------------------------

See attached my Logs from CertiProcessus_A and CertiProcessus_B.
I am taking this over.
