Re: [boost] boost] [interprocess] [Shared memory] STL containers and boost interprocess allocators

boost::interprocess containers --> stl containers

The line

managed_shared_memory shm(create_only, "myshm", 10000);

with

fixed_managed_shared_memory shm(create_only, "myshm", 10000, --> /*mapping address*/);

With these changes you will be able to use boost.interprocess allocators with stl containers and map all in a fixed address in all processes.

Thanks for your reply. But while trying to do this, is there a guarantee that 1. the mapping will succeed (I am guessing not.)? 2. even if it succeeds, the mapped address range will *not* be already in use by the process? I am guessing some form of pre-reserving the VM address space range may be necessary - perhaps done during compilation or linking the programs concerned. Regards, Vishnu
