Boost versions and the Interprocess library
Hello all, I have a project that is stuck using an old closed src implementation of CORBA that depends on Boost 1.31. Upgrading to a newer version of Boost is not possible. I we have a new requirement that could be partially met using shared memory. Is it possible to use the Interprocess library (first available in Boost 1.35) in our project? I see it only requires the inclusion of a single hdr file, but of course that doesn't mean it would work in a 1.31 environment. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The project is currently using WinXP using Visual Studio 2003. There are much delayed plans to port this to Linux.

I don't think it would work, it has some dependencies like Intrusive and maybe some other libraries. Ion

I'm perplexed what "closed source" means in this context. Maybe it's because I don't understand the CORBA environment. But if you have a prebuilt CORBA executable using Boost version 1.31, I don't understand how that would constrain in any way the version of Boost you yourself choose?
