Hi Paul,
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. Couldn't it be called "shared_memory" or something similar instead?
Suggestion are welcome. There are other libraries with Shmem name (for example, for programming multiprocessor shared memory issues), so I'm not the only one with bad taste ;-) Regards, Ion
