First of all I really appreciate the interprocess Boost library for its rich set of synchronization primitives and shared memory techniques.
Thanks.
Please Boost developers, C++ programmers deserve not to deal with C-style strings anymore. Personally I do not think anything new coming out of the C++, including the C++ standard committee, should have any functionality taking a 'const charType *' from now to to the end of C++ eternity <g>.
Other than the above I really enjoy using interprocess and say bravo to the author of the library for a well thought out implementation. But how this C-ism got by the reviewers I will never know.
Thanks for your notes. I think I should add std::string overloads to those functions and retain old ones to avoid breaking source code. I'll add it to my to-do list. Regards, Ion
