Hi everybody,  how are you? I am a completely noob when it comes to Boost.  :D But not a noob when it comes to C++. Though, am a bit noobish when it comes to C++14 and beyond :D I am trying to construct a complex data container, which has a vector of floats, on managed shared memory. I followed the documentation, added the appropriate headers and made the following declarations: typedef managed_windows_shared_memory::segment_manager segment_manager_t; typedef allocator<void, segment_manager_t>  void_allocator; typedef basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, char_allocator> shared_string; typedef allocator<float, segment_manager_t> float_allocator; typedef vector<float, float_allocator> float_vector; typedef allocator<float_vector, segment_manager_t> float_vector_allocator; class ComplexContainer {shared_string name;float_vector channelData; public:ComplexContainer(const char * name_, const float* data_start, const float* data_end, const void_allocator& void_alloc) :     name(name_), channelData(data_start, data_end, void_alloc)   {} ComplexContainer(const void_allocator& void_alloc) :   name(void_alloc), channelData(void_alloc){} ComplexContainer() {} } but I am getting these errors at compile: 1>D:\Libraries\boost_1_72_0\boost\container\vector.hpp(310,23): error C2512: 'boost::interprocess::allocator<float,segment_manager_t>::allocator': no appropriate default constructor available1>D:\Libraries\boost_1_72_0\boost\container\vector.hpp(308): message : while compiling class template member function 'boost::container::vector_alloc_holder<boost::interprocess::allocator<float,segment_manager_t>,unsigned __int64,boost::move_detail::integral_constant<unsigned int,2>>::vector_alloc_holder(void) noexcept(false)'1>D:\Libraries\boost_1_72_0\boost\container\vector.hpp(832): message : see reference to function template instantiation 'boost::container::vector_alloc_holder<boost::interprocess::allocator<float,segment_manager_t>,unsigned __int64,boost::move_detail::integral_constant<unsigned int,2>>::vector_alloc_holder(void) noexcept(false)' being compiled1>D:\Libraries\boost_1_72_0\boost\container\vector.hpp(779): message : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::container::vector_alloc_holder<boost::interprocess::allocator<float,segment_manager_t>,unsigned __int64,boost::move_detail::integral_constant<unsigned int,2>>' being compiled message : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::container::vector<float,float_allocator,void>' being compiled That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, since it seems to be referring to the "float_allocator" typedef. But float is not an object, it has no constructor. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Da.
