Re: [Boost-users] Interprocess & STL

As it was previously possible to use shmem shared memory allocator with STL containers, is it still possible to use the interprocess shared memory allocator along with STL containers? If I try to use a STL container with interprocess shared memory allocator, I get the following error:

Error: cannot convert boost::interprocess::offset_ptr<type> to type*

That could well be an issue of the STL implementation not honouring the allocator's pointer_type (and just using value_type* instead), but I'm unsure.
