Re: [Boost-users] shmem - Allocating enough space. open and allocate.

wow ... I missed this ....

Interprocess is the official Boost name for Shmem. I surely will remove Shmem from the vault soon because I want people to use Interprocess. In interprocess you can create a classic shared memory segment like this:

That's what I needed ... cool ...
