Now after a while the segment will have no more room for further blocks. So I delete some of them to gain more room:

m_segment->deallocate(raw.get()); ...

This makes me believe that either deallocate didn't do a good job...

Actually it just turned out this is the case. I tried among many other things replacing the allocate_aligned() with an ordinary allocate() and this works. So I'm afraid this looks a lot like a bug in interprocess to me. Pointers returned by allocate_aligned are aligned but cannot be deallocated. At least not in a way that would have the mem actually available afterwards.

Can you give me a use case to reproduce the problem? This seems to work in may windows machine: #include <vector> #include int main() { using namespace boost::interprocess; typedef boost::interprocess:: managed_windows_shared_memory shared_segment; std::vector ptrs; shared_segment m_segment(create_only, "shmem", 4096*16); try{ while(1){ //Now I have several allocate_aligned operations: ptrs.push_back(m_segment.allocate_aligned(128, 128)); } } catch(...){ m_segment.deallocate(ptrs.back()); ptrs.pop_back(); ptrs.push_back(m_segment.allocate_aligned(128, 128)); } return 0; } Ion
