What, if anything, can be assumed about cross-platform and backwards binary compatibility of files generated using boost::ipc classes? I could not find any explicit statement in the IPC library docs. Thanks.

There is no guarantee, especially cross-platform. Each compiler and platform has a different ABI, it would be too hard to guarantee a common ABI. Between Interprocess versions, there is no guarantee but in practice format hasn't changed. Ion
