Hello All, After a few search I found out that we cannot use std::string. Instead we should try with interprocess::basic_string. Can anyone guide me through this. hamsinv wrote:

Hello All,

I have been trying boost library for sharing stl::maps using shared memory. I am able to run the example code on sharing stl::maps successfully. It uses int-float pair to store in map. I have to store std::string-int pair. Writing into the map, works fine, yet reading the same from a different process results in Segmentation fault.

Both the Process are as follows: Process1.cpp --------------------- ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // (C) Copyright Ion Gaztanaga 2006-2007.

Could anyone please tell me what's going wrong and how can i use std::string as key and int as value.

Thank you.
