From the boost website it seems that shmem has been accepted but it's been over a year since a new version of boost has been released. Is there a new boost version coming out soon or do I just have to download and build shmem myself?
Shmem was accepted and many changes were requested. As a result, I'm developing Boost.Interprocess, that will be the official Boost version of the library. Shmem is in a bug fix state. You can download it from Boost.Vault and Sandbox CVS. I plan to upload a new version of Boost.Interprocess in a week to Boost CVS and Vault. Interprocess has many breaking changes from Shmem, but essentially will allow the same features as Shmem plus new interprocess communication mechanisms. I work the faster I can (lately, not very fast, I admit). Interprocess won't appear officially until Boost 1.35. Regards, Ion

You can take a look at shmem if you want to map a file to memory.
Haven't tried it myself yet though.

I've had a look through the iostream stuff but my head can't think straight this late in the week. I require two things:
1. The ability to truncate and grow a file. I see the seek/write functions which I'm guessing will take care of my growth needs but what about truncation?
2. The ability to memory map a file. I saw mapped_file which I guess is the one.
