Dear Sir, Thanks for this guidance. I downloaded boost src code (boost_1_33_1.tar.gz) as well as Boost.Interprocess (interprocess.2006-08-04.zip) from boost site. May you please guide me about following doubts? 1) Are these two separate source code or I need to compile Boost.Interprocess along with boost_1_33_1? 2) Does this compile on Solaris 8 & RHEL3 as well?

Hi, I am developing an application with 2 unrelated, arbitrary processes having a C++ shared hash map between them to store data. However, I am facing the problem of creating this template hash map in shared memory. Can boost be used for this purpose? Can anybody please suggest me the implementation which can be used to do this? Thanks in advance.
The hash map containers that were being developed by Daniel James (take a look at Vault/Containers) used to be shared memory friendly (I mean, compatible with Boost.Interprocess). I haven't tested them recently, though. To share containers between two unrelated processes please see Boost.Interprocess (currently in the CVS, and BoostVault/Concurrent Programming).
