I haven't looked at the library, but I'd like to raise a minor point. I think the name "shmem" is bad as it doesn't tell you what the library is about - most Boost libraries have more descriptive names. "Shmem" sounds to me like a letter of the Hebrew alphabet rather than the name of a Boost library.

Yeah, it's barely even pronounceable for a native english speaker that doesn't also speak Hebrew ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
