Hi boosters! I've just uploaded the latest stable version of Shmem to boost sandbox vault (http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=Memory) and boost sandbox cvs HEAD. This version finishes development changes previewed with the beta version posted the last day of December. Online documentation is available also as always here: http://ice.prohosting.com/newfunk/boost/libs/shmem/doc/html/index.html I would be glad if usual Shmem users could test it to see if there are portability problems, since I've tested it in linux/gcc-4.0.1 winxp/vc7.1. This version includes since the latest stable version (2005-10-12): -> Architecture and interface rework to allow future multi-segment shared memory support. -> Bug fixes and portability enhancements. -> Shmem iostreams to write/read formatted data directly to/from shared memory vectors/strings and memory buffers. -> Intrusive and scoped ptr for shared memory (I promise shared_ptr/weak_ptr for future versions, they are not ready yet). -> Better documentation, thanks to user suggestions. Enjoy! Ion P.D.: I can't login with my older "ion_g_m" account to sandbox vault. Would someone please delete files with "ion_g_m" username from Memory directory? Thanks.
