[Boost-users] multi-index/interprocess find key must be allocated in shared memory?

Hi, I have a multi_index set working nicely in shared memory but I'm trying to figure out how to search one of my indices without allocating the search key in shared memory. Assuming my index is based on a char_string (basic_string with a segment manager allocator), is there an easy way to perform a find() operation that can use a const char *key? Trying to avoid the rather substantial overhead of instantiating my const char *key as a char_string in shared memory. Any other suggestions how I might organize things to avoid the situation would be welcomed.. Cheers, Jerry Hicks
