Re: [boost] [Review] Shmem

Hi Darren.

"Shmem wants to be portable across multiple operating systems so that it can not count with an operating systems that maps shared memory to the same base address in all processes in the system"

I think I'm stuck on "can not count with".

I believe OP meant 'can not count on the OS mapping a shared memory segments to the same base memory address in all processes in the system that connect to it'. Some (like HP-UX) do this, while others (like Windows) do not (at least not by default) so this is not something that can be relied on and still have a portable library. Hope this helps.
