Hi Jeff,
I prefer "shared_memory" as well, especially considering the recent threads on this list and the user list discussing new boost users not being able to easily/quickly finding what facilities are available. Had I not been introduced to the name shmem at my current employer(it's even worse, we have a shmipc library) I wouldn't have known what your library offered even though I've been using memory mapped files under windows for quite some time.
We can take it further. So if this library is also about memory mapped files, a message queu named objects, containers and so on, maybe it's something more related with inter-process communications (IPC) than with only shared memory. Maybe IPC is even a worse name? Regards, Ion
