- Would it be possible to use named objects with another data type other than CharType and use managed_external_buffer::find to look for them? The thing is I could generate a hash or a numerical ID to identify the chunk. Generating a string using that number could be done but it would not be efficient.
No, named objects are tied to character names.
Otherwise, I guess I would have to keep a map (or other collection) with the <chunk ID, chunk pointer> pairs, define the managed_external_buffer with boost::interprocess::null_index (since I won't be using named objects) and use it through allocate and deallocate. Is this correct?
Correct. An empty index would not waste much space (an empty intrusive container) so you could avoid using null_index if you want. Best, Ion
