I am don't need to redirect ALL allocations in the shared memory.
I am need only do it for selected structures.
For example, I am need create red-black tree and update it (in shared
memory). For this, I am need create own memory management in this
region or use existing memory management tool (for allocate,
dealloacate and tracks chunks) worked for dedicated segment only.
