Re: [boost] [interprocess] shared memory lifetime

A different way to address this problem is primarily through documentation. One change to the library interface is also needed, the addition of an explicit deletion/unlink operation. And eliminate the reference counting mechanism from the POSIX port. Here is some proposed text, offered as an option for discussion.

Although ugly, a function to erase all named objects is an option. You can catch UNIX signals like SIGSEGV and call a function to release all reference counts, after that, abort the program. I would need to register every named object in a global list and the destroy_all_named_before_abort() would destroy every object. After that you can exit. Ion
