Hello everybody, Is there any restriction to the size of managed shared memory regions? Should it be in multiples of the page size? I did not manage to find any relevant information in the documentation, but managed_shared_memory creation and managed_shared_memory::grow sometimes fail with small memory sizes specified. Examples: 1) When I create a managed_shared_memory segment with size 40, the creation fails with interprocess_exception::library_error. 2) I created managed_shared_memory with initial size 1000, then increased the size by 24 bytes, I got this: /usr/include/boost/interprocess/mem_algo/rbtree_best_fit.hpp:514: void boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit<MutexFamily, VoidMutex, MemAlignment>::grow(boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit<MutexFamily, VoidMutex, MemAlignment>::size_type) [with MutexFamily = boost::interprocess::mutex_family; VoidPointer = boost::interprocess::offset_ptr<void>; long unsigned int MemAlignment = 0ul; boost::interprocess::rbtree_best_fit<MutexFamily, VoidMutex, MemAlignment>::size_type = long unsigned int]: Assertion `new_block->m_size >= BlockCtrlUnits' failed. Aborted (core dumped) I use boost 1.55.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit. Code used for testing: #include <boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp> const char *shmname = "MyBoostShmTest"; // Usage: ./progname [init-memory-size] [grow-memory-size] int main(int argc, char **argv) { using namespace boost::interprocess; struct shm_remove { shm_remove() { shared_memory_object::remove(shmname); } ~shm_remove(){ shared_memory_object::remove(shmname); } } remover; size_t size = atoi(argv[1]); size_t grow_size = atoi(argv[2]); { managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, shmname, size); } { managed_shared_memory::grow(shmname, grow_size); } return 0; } Thanks, Veranika
