Hi, first of all congratulations to Ion for this great library. I am trying to use shmem for a very large project and I have stumbled several bugs (you can read about them at the sourceforge bugtracker) I have workarounded so far, but there's one I can't workaround. Maybe somebody has found a solution? How to reproduce: 1- Any sample code will do (you can use the sample source at 'Quick Guide for the Impatient' -> 'Using STL containers and mapping the memory at a fixed address') 2- Change to a fixed_named segment, if it isn´t so already in your sample, and increase the segment size to 104857600. I guess it's not a matter of this specific size but something that happens for large segments. 3- Leave process A running in the background, run process B and you get a segmentation fault... 4- You won't have the problem for sizes: 1048576 or 10485760. Has anybody experienced something similar? Thanks in advance. It's driving me crazy! and I am so close to finishing my code. Only this bug pending! Environment: FC 5, gcc4.1.1-1
