Hi -
I am having problems porting some boost::interprocess code from Win32 to Linux (rhel4). I am using boost-1.55.
Here's the setup: I need to find if there is an existing instance of the process already running. When the process starts up, it checks the shared memory for a bIsProcessingRunning flag. If it is true, the process dumps some data into the shared memory and then exits. If not true, then the process starts up normally and then checks the shared memory for any updates. The class I use to wrap the boost::interprocess is below.
Note: I needed the shared memory location to only be initialized the first time it was created so the only way I saw how to do it was through the src code was to use the initialization_func_t().
This approach works fine on Win32 but on Linux, it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or hints.
Which version of Interprocess are you using, CVS version? And I suppose you meant Boost-1.35? Regards, Ion
