Hi Cuneyt, the circular buffer should be compatible with Interprocess - the only 'problem' is that the circular buffer's debug support relies on 'raw' pointers. Try compiling with -DBOOST_CB_DISABLE_DEBUG or -DNDEBUG. I believe this will help.

I compiled and ran the the example given in the Interprocess documentation for creating a vector in shared memory with no problem. However, when I modify it to use the Boost circular_buffer as: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "MySharedMemory", 65536); constShmemAllocatoralloc_inst (segment.get_segment_manager()); MyCircBuffer *myCircBuf = segment.construct<MyCircBuffer>("MyCircBuffer")(alloc_inst); return 0; } I get a compilation error (caused by segment.construct()). Any idea what I am doing wrong? Is it because circular_buffer is not one of the containers listed in /boost/interprocess/containers, i.e. it's not compatible with Interprocess? Thanks, C
