Hi all, I'm having issues compiling boost::unordered_map with boost::interprocess. I'm using boost 1.57 and compiler is GCC 4.1.2 . I've tried to ask it on SO few months ago, but got no solution for it and decided to use just map. Now I'm seeking for some performance improvement again, so I will try my luck here. I took code from the answer on SO (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29557680/boost-interprocess-unordered-map...) with minimal changes to make it work under non C++11 compiler. It looks better than my and there are same errors generated. Code: #include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/containers/string.hpp> #include <boost/interprocess/containers/map.hpp> #include <boost/unordered_map.hpp> namespace bip = boost::interprocess; // ShmString is boost::interprocess::basic_string typedef bip::allocator<char, bip::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> CharAllocator; typedef bip::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, CharAllocator> ShmString; typedef ShmString HashKeyType; // ComplexType is a wrapper for internal interprocess::map struct ComplexType { typedef bip::allocator<std::pair<int const, int>, bip::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> Alloc; typedef bip::map<int, int, std::less<int>, Alloc> Map; template <typename Alloc2> ComplexType(std::string, Alloc2 const& alloc) : map(alloc) {} Map map; }; typedef ComplexType HashMappedType; typedef std::pair<const ShmString, ComplexType> HashValueType; typedef bip::allocator<HashValueType, bip::managed_shared_memory::segment_manager> HashMemAllocator; typedef boost::unordered_map<HashKeyType, HashMappedType, boost::hash<HashKeyType>, std::equal_to<HashKeyType>, HashMemAllocator> TestHashMap; int main() { // Allocation: { bip::managed_shared_memory segment(bip::open_or_create, "MySharedMemory", 65536); TestHashMap * thm_ = segment.construct<TestHashMap>("TestHashMap")(3, boost::hash<ShmString>(), std::equal_to<ShmString>(), segment.get_allocator<HashValueType>()); } // Usage: bip::managed_shared_memory segment(bip::open_only, "MySharedMemory"); TestHashMap * thm_ = segment.construct<TestHashMap>("TestHashMap")(3, boost::hash<ShmString>(), std::equal_to<ShmString>(), segment.get_allocator<HashValueType>()); ShmString str("123.345", segment.get_allocator<ShmString>()); ComplexType th("MySharedMemory", segment.get_segment_manager()); HashValueType value(str, th); thm_->insert(value); } And here is some error output:
