[Boost-users] [Interprocess] : problem with large vector of maps in memory mapped file

Dear all, I'm using Boost 1.47 on Linux x86_64 in combination with gcc version 4.5.1. I'm trying to implement a large vector of maps in a memory mapped file. My code works fine on small example cases but crashes randomly when trying to store larger datasets. The application generally runs fine for a few days before a segementation fault occurs which makes debugging very time consuming. A trimmed down version of the code looks like this: typedef boost::interprocess::managed_mapped_file::segment_manager SegmentManager_t; typedef boost::interprocess::allocator VoidAllocator_t; typedef std::pair MapValue_t; typedef boost::interprocess::allocator MapValueAllocator_t; typedef boost::interprocess::map Map_t; typedef boost::interprocess::allocator MapAllocator_t; typedef boost::interprocess::vector VectorofMaps_t; boost::interprocess::managed_mapped_file m_mfile=managed_mapped_file(open_or_create, TEMPFILEPATH, TEMPFILEPATHSIZE); VoidAllocator_t alloc_inst (m_mfile.get_segment_manager()); VectorofMaps_t* m_pS=m_mfile.construct(anonymous_instance)(numsparserows,Map_t(std::less<uint>(),alloc_inst),alloc_inst); I've managed to obtain a stack trace which pinpoints the problem at the use of the function lower_bound: Map_t::iterator mapiter=(*m_pS)[row].lower_bound(col); I realize that such random segfaults could be the result of a hardware problem (memory corruption, cpu overheating, hard drive storing the memory mapped file (ssd)) but stress testing these components has not revealed any problems. I am therefore hoping that somebody would be able to get some more information from the stack trace provided below. Any help or advice on how to identify the problem would be greatly appreciated.
