Changes for version 1.08 - 2022-03-04

  • Added 'protected' option and clean_up_protected(). If set, the cleanup methods, nor the automatic 'destroy' functionality will remove the segment the option was set in, nor any children created underneath of it. A call to clean_up_protected() is required to remove them
  • Updated attribute tests to include all available options
  • _shm_key_rand() now checks EXCLUSIVE_CHECK_LIMIT times to find a key for a free segment. It croaks if not
  • Added _shm_key_rand_int() so we can mock it to test the dup random key checks
  • Added build prereq of Mock::Sub to test the random key function
