[Boost-users] boost::interprocess - allocating objects using node_allocator

Hi, I'd like to allocate objects directly in shared memory (not within STL-like container) in the way like that: struct X { int a; int b; }; typedef boost::interprocess::node_allocator AllocType; int main (...) { // create shared memory managed_shared_memory sharm (create_only, "a_name", SOME_SIZE); // create allocator object AllocType alloc_object (sharm.get_segment_manager()); // allocate memory for object instance taking it from the allocator's pool X* p = detail::get_pointer(alloc_object.allocate(1)); // invoke the constructor alloc_object.construct(p, X()); // obtain the handle sharm.get_handle_from_address(p); // now the handle is passed to another application to let it access the shared object // .... } Is it correct to do so? Will it work? TYA
