shared_memory_services mapped_file_services heap_memory_services external_memory_services I haven't followed this portion of the discussion very closely, so maybe it's been discussed. But, what does the "_services" suffix really add? It just seems superfluous to me.
It doesn't say much but I pretend to give a name to "a shared memory/memory mapped/heap memory segment that can allocate/find/destroy named objects, raw memory and do more things". And it has to be short!
Any suggestion?
Removing "_services" seems to be descriptive enough from my POV: boost::interprocess::shared_memory boost::interprocess::mapped_file boost::interprocess::heap_memory boost::interprocess::external_memory Do you really need to have it mean something more by adding a suffix? -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
