Hi, I'm a complete newbie with boost and have a question concerning the interprocess stuff. I took the piece of code to share a vector in shared memory between two processes from the quick-start guide as a start point and it compiled and ran immediately with success for me. Then I tried to replace the vector by a map: #include #include #include using namespace std; int main () { boost::interprocess::shared_memory_object::remove("MySharedMemory"); boost::interprocess::managed_shared_memory segment(boost::interprocess::create_only, "MySharedMemory" ,65536); //segment size in bytes typedef pair MyPair; typedef boost::interprocess::allocator ShmemAllocator; typedef boost::interprocess::map MyMap; const ShmemAllocator alloc_inst (segment.get_segment_manager()); MyMap *mymap = segment.construct<MyMap>("MyMap")(alloc_inst); // mymap->insert(make_pair(1,10)); // mymap->insert(make_pair(2,20)); // mymap->insert(make_pair(3,30)); // mymap->insert(make_pair(4,40)); // mymap->insert(make_pair(5,50)); return 0; } and I wasn't able to compile it any more. (I've put the error message and the sources on the web, find it here: http://www.hottis.de/boost/) I think it is the segment.construct line, although I don't find a direct hint in the error message from the compiler, but if I comment out this line, the compiler is happy. Has any one any hint for me? Thank you very much, Wolfgang
