https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/shm_open.3.html says:
For portable use, a shared memory object should be identified by
a name of the form /somename; that is, a null-terminated string
of up to NAME_MAX (i.e., 255) characters consisting of an initial
slash, followed by one or more characters, none of which are
slashes.
Changing the shm_open call to
shm_open("/123", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0666);
returns 3 and sets errno to zero.

You can get very substantial performance improvements
by not doing the right thing. - Scott Meyers, An Effective C++11/14 Sampler
So if you're looking for a completely portable, 100% standards-conformant way
to get the wrong information: this is what you want. - Scott Meyers (C++TDaWYK)
