Ion, Thank you for your reply. According to Boost.Interprocess documentation, you *can* share std::vector by using managed shared memory and Boost.Interprocess allocator (please see "Creating vectors in shared memory" in "Quick guide for the impatient" in Boost.Interprocess documentation). Following those guidelines and the example therein , I have successfully shared std::vector object using following - using boost::interprocess; typedef allocator<float, managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> ShmAllocator_float; typedef std::vector<float, ShmAllocator_float> MyVector; managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "MySharedVector", 10000); const ShmAllocator_float alloc(segment.get_segment_manager()); MyVector* pvec = segment.construct<MyVector>("MyVector")(alloc); - Aditya On 11/24/2010 04:47 AM, Ion Gaztañaga wrote:

Dear all,
I have a question about proper use of Boost.Interprocess for sharing custom C++ classes. I recently started using Boost.Interprocess and have been successful in sharing boost::array, std::vector<float>, std::vector< boost::array<float, 2> > etc using boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory and boost::interprocess::allocator.
You can't share std::vector, it contains raw pointers. You must use boost::interprocess:vector with boost::interprocess::allocator.
Best,
