//! In this module is a shared memory allocator that can be used in Shadow to share data between
//! the main simulator process and managed processes. There are three main global functions that
//! are provided:
//!
//! (1) `shmalloc()`, which places the input argument into shared memory and returns a `Block`
//! smart pointer.
//! (2) `shfree()`, which is used to deallocate allocated blocks.
//! (3) `shdeserialize()`, which is used to take a serialized block and convert it back into a
//! `Block` smart pointer that can be dereferenced.
//!
//! Blocks can be serialized with the `.serialize()` member function, which converts the block to a
//! process-memory-layout agnostic representation of the block. The serialized block can be
//! one-to-one converted to and from a string for passing in between different processes.
//!
//! The intended workflow is:
//!
//! (a) The main Shadow simulator process allocates a shared memory block containing an object.
//! (b) The block is serialized.
//! (c) The serialized block is turned into a string.
//! (d) The string is passed to one of Shadow's child, managed processes.
//! (e) The managed process converts the string back to a serialized block.
//! (f) The serialized block is deserialized into a shared memory block alias.
//! (g) The alias is dereferenced and the shared object is retrieved.
